Tired of haters spewing hatred at people they call haters? Sick of free speech only for those who agree with someone? Fed up with the lack of civility in our civil discourse? Done with all the creepy hypersensitivity to possibly wounded feelings? This award-winning journalist has had it with fat-shaming and all-shaming, seething sexual assault in the workplace, and people who scream others down because they think differently. She reveals ways to survive and thrive in this world that demands political correctness... or what she calls political quackiness. Part memoir and part life lessons, Martin celebrates everyone who stands up to bullies, while she examines political spectacles, and reveals why we are in the New American Revolution. She empowers the independent spirit in all of us, telling it like it is... from the fact that personal rights carry personal responsibility to today's rampant racism, divisiveness, and the addiction epidemic plaguing our nation. Dashing double standards and stomping on stereotypes launched the 2016 hit "The Bimbo Has Brains." Readers loudly clamored for more political incorrectness, and Martin delivers Call the PC Police, because there are no holds barred.

Linking past and present, this painfully poignant, true story shares the author's Armenian ancestors' harrowing struggle to survive extraordinary chaos and violence in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire. Relayed with often soulful introspection, Destiny of Dreams: Time Is Dear opens the window of hope amidst a quagmire of despair. More fact than fiction, one family's true story captures the faith and fortitude that make the tormented Armenian saga an all-too-common story for every culture that has suffered at the hands of intolerance. Memoirs and history books relay the tragic stories of mass-deportations and annihilation of Armenians. The starting point for Destiny of Dreams: Time Is Dear is sadly familiar. However, sharing the Armenian genocide through historical fiction casts a much-needed light on the vulnerable, highly relatable, family side of the experience. The persecution of any group of people at the hands of another group of people never sings a happy song, but in current times of rising violence and divisive politics the themes ring with eerie parallels. The book contains some explicit descriptions and a couple of disturbing, though not graphic, violent scenes. While not gratuitous, the depictions may be haunting and unsuitable for young readers. Regardless, noting its cultural and sociopolitical relevance, one doctor posed the opinion that this should be made required reading for all American high school students.
