Killing Willis : from Diff'rent strokes to the mean streets to the life I always wanted / by Bridges, Todd,1965-(CARDINAL)688517; Tomlinson, Sarah.(CARDINAL)365802;
Preface: Everybody's got a special kind of story -- Suicide by cop -- "I want to be just like him when I grow up" -- Sky's the limit! -- Hollywood teen -- Everything changes -- There's only stars in the sky -- What's an officer like you doing in a uniform like that? -- Life after Willis -- Billy the kid -- Life in the hood -- The fall -- Justice and its aftermath -- Methamphetamine blues -- Back on the chain gang -- Seventh heaven."For Todd Bridges early stardom was no protection from painful childhood events that paved the road to his own personal hell. One of the first African-American child actors on shows like Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, and Roots, Bridges burst to the national forefront on the hit sitcom Diff<U+2019>rent Strokes as the subject of the popular catchphrase, "What<U+2019>chu Talkin About Willis?" When the show ended, Bridges was overwhelmed by the off-camera traumas he had faced. Turning to drugs as an escape, he soon lost control. Now, for the first time, Bridges opens up about his life before and after Diff<U+2019>rent Strokes: the incredible reversals of fortune brought on by fame and the precipitous<U+2014>and very public<U+2014>descent that followed; the persecution from police; the drug addiction that nearly consumed him; the criminal charges that almost earned him a life sentence; and his successful legal defense led by Johnnie Cochran. Through it all, Bridges never relented in his quest to fight his way back from the abyss, establish his own identity<U+2014>separate from Willis Jackson<U+2014>and offer his ordeal as a positive example for those struggling to overcome similar challenges. His triumphant story of recovery and redemption is recounted here as well. Todd Bridges has lived a life of remarkable twists and turns<U+2014>from the greatest heights to the lowest lows imaginable. In this shocking but ultimately hopeful memoir, he proves that what he was really talking about was survival." -- from publisher's website.

Suicide : understanding and ending a national tragedy / by Bateson, John,1951-author.(CARDINAL)487765;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 263-297) and index."An urgent call to action on a rising--and preventable--trend. Each year in the United States alone, nearly 50,000 individuals die by suicide; more than 1.2 million others attempt it. John Bateson, former executive director of a suicide prevention center, examines this national tragedy from multiple angles while debunking common myths, sharing demographic data, and identifying risk factors and warning signs. Suicide provides essential information about the current landscape surrounding suicide in the United States as well as strategies to prevent further tragedy. Bateson emphasizes that the rise in suicide and attempted suicide is not only a mental health issue affecting individuals but also an urgent problem for society at large. He discusses suicide in parks, prisons, and the military, as well as assisted suicide, suicide by cop, and murder-suicide. In particular, he details the stark relationship among guns, drugs, jump sites, and suicide, focusing on one of the most effective ways to prevent suicide--restricting access to lethal means. In addition to presenting practical information for identifying people at risk of suicide, Bateson details important steps that individuals, businesses, and the government can take to end this public health problem." --

"In the aftermath of a family tragedy, Mike Bowditch has left the Maine Warden Service and is working as a fishing guide in the North Woods. But when his mentor Sgt. Kathy Frost is forced to kill a troubled war veteran in an apparent case of "suicide by cop," he begins having second thoughts about his decision.

When the sergeant is shot outside her farmhouse, Mike joins the hunt to find the mysterious man responsible.
