Scholarly & Thematic Series

Under the Color of Law Series
Works examining misconduct, bias, and systemic harm in family courts and related systems. Under the Color of Law I: A Paradox of Bad Actors in Family Court- This volume examines how power, procedure, and professional discretion can produce outcomes that feel disconnected from truth and fairness. It explores patterns of conduct people report in high-conflict cases—especially when systems reward speed and compliance over thoroughness. The narrative frames the courtroom as an ecosystem where incentives, relationships, and record-building matter as much as facts. Readers get language, concepts, and structure to analyze “what happened” with more clarity.

Under the Color of Law II: Systemic Bias and the Fight for Black Fathers- This book centers the lived reality many Black fathers describe: being pre-framed as a risk before being heard as a parent. It maps how bias can show up without slurs—through assumptions, credibility gaps, and administrative friction. The work connects social narratives to institutional decisions, showing how “neutral” processes can still produce uneven outcomes. Readers gain a framework for naming patterns, preserving their story, and pushing for procedural integrity.

Persona Non Grata Series
Focused on the lived experiences of men and fathers navigating custody disputes and court systems.

Persona Non Grata I: The Untold Stories of Men and Their Custody Cases- This volume spotlights men’s experiences in custody and family-court conflict, especially when they feel marginalized or stereotyped. It organizes recurring themes—credibility, access, communication barriers, and record narratives—into a readable, structured account. The aim is not just to vent; it is to document how people describe the system working on the ground. Readers get validation plus a strategic lens for understanding how outcomes get shaped.

Persona Non Grata II: The Segregated Family Court System in America- This book argues that family-court experiences can feel “separate and unequal” depending on gender, race, money, and institutional familiarity. It explores how informal networks, local norms, and administrative discretion can create two very different realities inside the same courthouse. The content breaks down how inequality can be procedural—deadlines, access, representation, and credibility—rather than overtly stated. Readers leave with a clearer map of how structural advantage can operate quietly.

Persona Non Grata III: The Rise of Medical Child Abuse and Misdiagnoses for Profit- This volume examines the controversial space where child welfare, medical narratives, and institutional incentives collide. It explores how misdiagnosis, overreach, or poorly tested allegations can escalate into life-altering decisions for families. The book separates responsible protection from harmful certainty, emphasizing due process and careful evidentiary thinking. Readers gain a framework for asking better questions when medicine, courts, and agencies overlap.

Systemic Harm & Judicial Behavior

The Prayer for Relief: The Unlawful Manufactured Records of Custody- This book focuses on how “the record” can become the battlefield—and how narratives harden into official truth. It examines how filings, orders, reports, and omissions can collectively shape a story that a parent says is not accurate. The work frames record integrity as a civil-rights issue: when the file is wrong, outcomes follow. Readers get practical language for understanding documentation power and why precision matters.

Victimized: Human Trafficking in Child Custody Cases- This title explores allegations and fears some parents raise about coercion, exploitation, and hidden incentive structures within custody conflicts. It treats the topic with seriousness and caution, distinguishing between proven facts, reported patterns, and unanswered questions. The focus is on risk factors, vulnerabilities, and how power imbalances can be exploited when oversight is weak. Readers gain a lens for recognizing red flags and pushing for transparency and accountability.

Good Judge vs Bad Judge: The Outcomes and Harmful Effects of Family Courts- This book breaks down how judicial temperament, diligence, and bias can materially change outcomes for families. It contrasts best-practice judicial behavior—neutrality, patience, record accuracy—with patterns people describe as harmful or dismissive. The goal is to clarify what “good judging” looks like in real life, not just in theory. Readers gain benchmarks for evaluating process quality and advocating for fair procedure.

Bad Attorney vs Good Attorney: Grievance Language Examined- This title translates professional-responsibility concepts into plain, usable grievance language. It distinguishes between “I’m upset” and “this conduct may violate a rule,” helping readers frame complaints with specificity. The book emphasizes documentation, chronology, and the difference between unethical conduct and unfavorable outcomes. Readers leave with a tighter strategy for reporting concerns in a credible, organized way.

Understanding the Difference: Policy Violence vs Political Violence- This book separates two forces that often get blurred: harm created by systems and harm created by ideology-driven conflict. It defines how policies—through enforcement, bureaucracy, and resource control—can produce real injury without anyone throwing a punch. It also clarifies what “political violence” means in social and legal contexts. Readers gain language to discuss structural harm with more precision and less noise.

 

Sexual Predator Behavior & Protection

Understanding the 3 Tiers of Sexual Predator Behavior- This title provides a structured framework for recognizing escalation patterns and behavioral strategies used by sexual offenders. It focuses on prevention, awareness, and protection by explaining how grooming and opportunistic behavior can present. The book aims to educate without sensationalizing, emphasizing practical warning signs and boundary-based safety. Readers leave better equipped to spot risk and respond early.

The Convicted Sexual Predator: How They Re-Offend and the Prosecution- This book examines recidivism dynamics, supervision gaps, and the realities of prosecution in sexual-offense cases. It explores how offenders can exploit access, trust, and weak monitoring, and what effective accountability tends to look like. The focus is system-aware: what helps victims, what fails them, and what closes loopholes. Readers gain a clearer picture of prevention, reporting, and protective strategy.

 

Signature & Concept Titles

Ranked on Sight: How Systems Decide Who Matters Before You Speak- This flagship title exposes the “silent scoring” that happens the moment you walk into a room, system, or process. It explores how status cues—race, gender, class, disability, education, and presentation—can shape how your story is received. The book frames bias as a workflow problem: inputs get filtered before facts get weighed. Readers leave with language and strategy to navigate systems that pre-judge.

Manufactured Inferiority: When Paperwork Turns People into Problems-This book shows how forms, labels, and administrative categories can convert a human life into a “case issue.” It explores how documentation can pathologize normal behavior, exaggerate risk, or erase context. The core argument is that paperwork can create identity—then enforce it through decisions. Readers gain tools for reclaiming narrative control and challenging harmful record framing.

Assigned to the Bottom: The Hidden Hierarchies No One Admits Exist- This title examines quiet hierarchies that operate in workplaces, institutions, and public systems. It explains how “unspoken ranking” shapes access to patience, empathy, resources, and second chances. The book focuses on subtle signals—who gets listened to, who gets doubted, who gets labeled difficult. Readers leave with a clearer map of power and a playbook for moving strategically.

 

Bias, Racism & Power

Pre-Judged: The Quiet Technology of Bias in Everyday Systems- This book frames bias as a repeatable mechanism—an operating system that runs silently through decisions. It explores how assumptions become shortcuts, and shortcuts become outcomes that feel “normal” to the system. The text highlights how everyday processes can produce disproportionate harm without explicit hostility. Readers gain a practical lens for identifying where bias lives and how to interrupt it.

The Inferiority Narrative: Stories Systems Tell Justify What They Do- This title examines the narratives institutions use—explicitly or implicitly—to justify unequal treatment. It shows how “they’re irresponsible,” “they’re unsafe,” or “they’re difficult” can become default explanations that excuse procedural harm. The book connects storytelling to policy and decision-making, especially in high-stakes systems. Readers learn how to challenge narratives with evidence, structure, and clarity.

Programmed to Prefer: Inside the Mindset That Creates “Better” and “Worse” People- This book explores how preferencing becomes normalized: who is treated as credible, cooperative, worthy, or “a good fit.” It examines the mindset behind selective empathy and selective enforcement across systems. The work frames preferencing as a culture problem that shows up as policy and practice. Readers gain a vocabulary for naming it and a strategy for not being silently sorted.

 

Courts, Child Support & Government Systems

Filed as Less Than: When Case Numbers Replace Human Names- This title critiques how bureaucratic systems can reduce people to docket entries and “issues to manage.” It explores how depersonalization affects fairness, responsiveness, and dignity—especially in family and benefit-related systems. The book focuses on what happens when decisions become transactional rather than human. Readers leave with a sharper understanding of how to re-humanize their case presentation.

Stamped, Sealed, Subordinated: How Agencies Put People in Their Place- This book examines how agency processes can create compliance-first outcomes—sometimes at the expense of truth and context. It explores the power of stamps, signatures, classifications, and “official” language to shut down disagreement. The text frames subordination as procedural: you lose leverage when the system defines you first. Readers gain strategy for contesting labels and insisting on record integrity.

Hostile by Design: Why Some Parents Never Had a Fair Shot on Day One- This title explores how some parents describe being disadvantaged from the very first filing or allegation. It breaks down how initial narratives can lock in assumptions that later evidence struggles to undo. The book focuses on process design: scheduling, access, representation, and credibility dynamics. Readers gain insight into early-stage leverage and how to protect themselves from narrative capture.

 

Curriculum & Training Titles

Bias Without Slurs: The Corporate-Ready Version of the Same Old Hate- This training-style title shows how bias can present in professional, polished language—“culture fit,” “communication style,” “attitude,” “tone.” It breaks down micro-preferences that shape hiring, promotion, discipline, and customer-facing decisions. The book is built for modern organizations that want “risk reduction” and real inclusion, not performative statements. Readers get scenarios, language, and corrective practices that can be implemented.

Who Gets Benefit of the Doubt? A Training Guide on Everyday Preferencing- This guide focuses on a single powerful question: who gets grace, and who gets punished for the same behavior. It teaches readers to spot preferencing in real time—meetings, interviews, reviews, discipline, and service interactions. The content is practical and facilitation-friendly, designed for teams and trainers. Readers leave with tools to audit fairness and rebuild trust.

Inequality in Plain Sight: Teaching People to See What Systems Hide- This curriculum-oriented title helps learners identify structural inequality without needing a sociology degree. It breaks down how rules, incentives, and defaults can produce unequal outcomes even when intentions sound neutral. The approach is teachable: concepts, examples, reflection prompts, and application activities. Readers gain a clearer “systems vision” and a pathway to action.

 

Healing, Identity & Lived Experience

You Were Never Inferior: Reclaiming Your Worth After Systemic Harm-This book speaks to people whose confidence was damaged by institutions, labels, or long-term mistreatment. It reframes worth as inherent—not granted by courts, agencies, employers, or family systems. The content blends mindset repair with practical boundary and identity work. Readers leave with a stronger internal anchor and a plan for rebuilding self-trust.

Rewriting the File: How to Tell Your Story Without Their Labels-This title teaches narrative recovery—how to separate your identity from the story someone else recorded about you. It focuses on language, structure, and evidence-based self-definition rather than emotional spirals. The book emphasizes reclaiming authorship in personal, legal, and professional contexts. Readers walk away with templates for telling their story cleanly and powerfully.

From Subject to Author: Turning Lived Trauma into Strategy and Action- This book is about upgrading pain into purpose without romanticizing the damage. It shows how to convert lived experience into frameworks, goals, and disciplined next steps. The tone is forward-moving: reflection, then plan, then execution. Readers leave with a strategy mindset and a blueprint for building impact from experience.

The Rise of No-Contact: Separating from TOXIC Family Members-This title explores why more people are choosing distance as a survival strategy in family systems. It explains common dynamics—manipulation, control, scapegoating, boundary violations—and why “just forgive” often fails. The focus is clarity and safety, not drama: when to disengage and how to do it responsibly. Readers gain language, boundaries, and emotional grounding for high-conflict family situations.

Disengaging From Toxic Family: Setting Healthy Boundaries to Protect Mental Health- This book is a practical guide for building boundaries that actually hold under pressure. It covers what boundaries are, how to communicate them, and how to respond to pushback, guilt tactics, and escalation. The tone is steady and actionable—less theory, more real-life scripts and decision rules. Readers leave with a boundary plan that protects peace without needing constant conflict.

Creating Healthy Relationships: Understanding your place in Family Dynamics-This title helps readers identify their role in family patterns and choose healthier ways to relate. It explains dynamics like enmeshment, triangulation, parentification, and repeated conflict loops in approachable language. The focus is accountability plus empowerment: you can’t control everyone, but you can change your part. Readers gain tools to build healthier connection—or healthier distance—without losing themselves.

Dysfunctional Family Dynamics Series (5-Book Set)

This series explains the main participants in dysfunctional systems: narcissistic or high-control parents, enabling parents, golden children, scapegoats, lost children, mascots/peacekeepers, flying monkeys/enforcers, and the outsiders who get pulled in (partners, grandparents, church/community networks). It emphasizes patterns and dynamics, not armchair diagnosis, and helps readers choose safe, strategic responses. The goal is clarity, protection, and long-term healing—without confusion, guilt, or self-blame.

Book 1: The Narcissistic Family System: How It Works- This book explains dysfunction as a system—not just one “difficult” person—so readers can finally see the full structure. It breaks down control, image management, gaslighting, and why truth gets distorted inside the home. It shows how roles are assigned and enforced to keep the family loyal to the narcissistic parent’s narrative. Readers leave with a clear map of what’s happening and why “normal advice” doesn’t work in abnormal environments.

Book 2: Roles in the House: Golden Child, Scapegoat, Lost Child, Mascot- This book teaches the survival roles children adopt and the long-term emotional and relational cost of each role. It explains how siblings get divided, compared, and positioned against one another to maintain control. Real-life examples show how praise, punishment, and double standards shape identity and self-worth. Readers learn how to exit a role, rebuild self-definition, and stop living for approval.

Book 3: The Enabler and the Flying Monkeys: How Dysfunction Spreads- This book focuses on the people who keep the system running—often while claiming they are “keeping the peace.” It explains enabling, triangulation, pressure tactics, spying, and how manipulation travels through relatives, community circles, and social media. It also addresses smear campaigns and reputation warfare when someone tries to set boundaries or tell the truth. Readers get practical language and strategy to respond calmly, protect credibility, and reduce exposure to harassment.

Book 4: Boundaries That Hold: Low Contact, No Contact, and Safe Contact- This is the operations manual for protecting your peace without getting pulled back into chaos. It teaches boundary types, predictable pushback patterns, and how to respond without over-explaining or arguing facts. It includes scripts for calls, texts, visits, holidays, money requests, and “family meetings.” Readers walk away with a boundary plan that is realistic, enforceable, and designed for long-term stability.

Book 5: Healing the Aftermath: Rebuilding the Self and Breaking the Cycle-This book covers what happens after clarity: grief, anger, identity recovery, and rebuilding trust in yourself and others. It explains how chronic dysfunction impacts the nervous system, shame, attachment patterns, and decision-making. Readers learn re-parenting skills, emotional regulation, and how to build healthier relationships without repeating old scripts. It ends with cycle-breaking practices to protect the next generation from inheriting roles and trauma.
