NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNERWINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE
Haunting, harrowing, and profoundly affecting, Shot in the Heart exposes and explores a dark vein of American life that most of us would rather ignore. It is a book that will leave no reader unchanged. Gary Gilmore, the infamous murderer immortalized by Norman Mailer in The Executioner's Song, campaigned for his own death and was executed by firing squad in 1977. Writer Mikal Gilmore is his younger brother. In Shot in the Heart, he tells the stunning story of their wildly dysfunctional family: their mother, a black sheep daughter of unforgiving Mormon farmers; their father, a drunk, thief, and con man. It was a family destroyed by a multigenerational history of child abuse, alcoholism, crime, adultery, and murder. Mikal, burdened with the guilt of being his father's favorite and the shame of being Gary's brother, gracefully and painfully relates a murder tale "from inside the house where murder is born... a house that, in some ways, he has] never been able to leave." Shot in the Heart is the history of an American family inextricably tied up with violence, and the story of how the children of this family committed murder and murdered themselves in payment for a long lineage of ruin.

Bathroom counter organizer
I bought this to try and help keep our bathroom counter neat and tidy. It fits perfectly between our sinks and it hold all of the little bottles and other bathroom stuff. This is very sturdy, and doesn’t feel cheap at all. I am happy with my purchase!

Sleek looking organizer that holds ALL my stuff. Nice assortment of drawers and cubby holes to put things into. Cleared up the clutter and items are now easier to access! Love it!

Spacious Storage
Color: White, Size: 2 Layer
Excellent quality and spacious storage. I bought this because I had a plastic makeup organizer. My husband complained about me making a racket when I am putting my makeup because the makeup tools makes a loud noise when I put them back in the plastic organizer. I thought I'll buy a leather one so it wouldn't be so noisy. It's magic. No more complains from my hubby. In addition, I was impressed with the quality of this organizer. Beautiful and plenty of storage.
