I've just finished up my seventh non-fiction book, the Killing Fields of East New York, followed by a very long subtitle. First I thought I was telling the story of why a particular neighborhood in Brooklyn had the highest number of unsolved murders in New York. Then I realized I was also telling the story of white collar crime and how it is more destructive than street crime. In the end, I saw that the core of the story went even deeper and was far more terrible.

Sarito Carroll
In 1978, nine-year-old Sarito traveled to India with her mother for what was meant to be a summer adventure—only to be swept into the infamous Osho Rajneesh movement, where she would spend seven years of her childhood deep inside the cult’s inner circle.
Buy books on Amazon
Her debut memoir, In the Shadow of Enlightenment, exposes the dark truths hidden beneath the façade of free love and spiritual awakening. What the world saw as liberation, Sarito experienced as neglect, sexual misconduct, and indoctrination. With unflinching honesty, she traces her journey to reconcile a past shaped by both trauma and a fierce longing to belong—navigating attachment, rage, and the complex bonds of a cultic childhood.

The Death Class: A True Story About Life
Buy books on Amazon
COMING IN JANUARY 2014 FROM SIMON & SCHUSTER
When nurse and professor Norma Bowe decided to teach a course on death at a college in New Jersey, she never expected it to be popular.

Under the guise of discussions about last wills and last breaths and visits to cemeteries and crematoriums, Norma teaches her students to find grace in one another.
By following her over three years, award-winning journalist Erika Hayasaki shows how Norma steers a group of extraordinary students from their torme -
