Today’s armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other-an enemy.

Pam Jenoff's newest release, The Ambassador's Daughter, is one of those books that I had a hard time putting down. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() TikTok video from Sienasummerrreads | BookTok □ "Reading Update Monday □□ #booktok #readingupdate #tbr #currentlyreading #read #bookish #bookworm #romancebooks #romancereader #weeklyreadingwrapup #heartstopper #aliceoseman #dramione #breathmintsbattlescars #vancouverwolvesseries #odettestone #loveonthebrain #penpal #alihazelwood #jtgessinger #theamericanroommateexperiment #elenaarmas #mymechanicalromance #twistedlove #anahuang #scribd #kindle #burn #lilywildhart #darkromance #tabooromance #whychoose #spicybooktok #bullyromance #comfortreads #australianbooktok #sienasummerrreads".
