The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!
The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.
Hurricane heroism meets post-9/11 injustice
This is the kind of true story that stays with you because it begins with everyday decency and turns into something shocking and deeply unsettling. Zeitoun feels vivid and human, especially in the portrait of a family trying to do right while systems around them collapse. If you’re drawn to narrative nonfiction that reads with urgency but carries real emotional weight, this is a powerful and memorable read.
