2017 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Bronze, True Crime (Nonfiction)

"Powerful book...thinking about it weeks later." -- James Crawford, Director, Lakewood Public Library

In 1967, in the small town of Circleville, Ohio, a man walked into an old-fashioned drug store on a busy Saturday and laid a smoking package on the pharmacy counter in the back. He shouted for everyone to leave, he had a bomb. The store owner grabbed the package and ran down the back hallway. The man chased the owner, grabbed him and struggled to take the package away. A pharmacist saw what was happening, raced after both, and tried to pull the two apart. A clerk was standing at the back door. A bookkeeper was in the back office, unaware. The bomb went off.

Five people died that day, leaving five spouses and fifteen children to grieve in silence and a stunned community to pick up the pieces. Fifty years later, Joni Foster, who was nine at the time and daughter of the pharmacist who died, began a quest to find out in detail who these people were and what exactly happened. Over nine months, she would interview members from each family to hear their stories of what life was like before, what happened that day, and how they moved forward. Most of the people she interviewed had never told their story before to anyone, including members of their own families.

This story is a tragedy, a history lesson on the slow, painful emancipation of women, and ultimately a love story to the families trying to live normal lives.

Works Great
I bought this filter for a friend that smokes in the car. Helps reduce the smell a lot. Just make sure it is installed in the right direction.

Not EXACT fit 2020 Honda Civic
Got this to replace cabin air filter on 2020 Honda Civic Sport, as it said it was a direct fit… It does fit but not perfectly! Holding it next to the filter you can see the size difference, with the original being slightly longer. I noticed a whistling sound from the AC at full blast right after install. I believe this noise is caused by the small gap left in the retainer box with the slightly smaller filter. Luckily it is not incredibly loud, but it’s still there. The quality of filtration seems to be much better than stock filter, but the fitment not exact for vehicles mentioned above.

Will continue to repurchase
I have purchased this product multiple times for my Honda CRV. Works great and is actually pretty easy to install. I will definitely repurchase once the time comes to replace again. Great value for the price compared to at the dealership
