The Spirit of Mercy on the West Texas Wind

In the late 19th century, Carmelite priests and nuns came to a largely uncivilized, remote area of West Texas to establish a religious, educational, and agricultural center among the mesquite and scrub oak. Their vision and dedication evolved into a monastery, convent and boarding school complex that survived over 40 years. The most consequential, far-reaching impact of the Monastery of the Most Pure Heart of Mary and Our Lady of Mercy Academy and Convent is the humanity and altruism shown by those who served there.During the years since the closing of the Academy in 1938, the building has been mostly deserted, and much has been written about the tumbleweeds stacked against the gate, the boards covering the windows, and the thick dust and cobwebs inside. Some recounted tales of ghosts haunting the second floor. During those desolate years, it may have been difficult to recall the strength of mind and spirit that once filled this religious center. And, it was just as challenging to imagine the many children, laughing and learning within those thick adobe walls. Children who later took the precepts of the academy into the world.Preservation of the surviving adobe monastery building that served as the heart of the convent compound is significant. The structure provides a lasting, tangible repository for the memories of those who worked, learned, and worshipped there. This remains holy ground and recalls for us the dignity and determination that created a lasting foundation of values that continues to influence life in Martin County today.

The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Violent System, and a Public Defender's Search for Justice in America
Emily Galvin Almanza
Crown Publishing Group (NY)
2026
sidottu
A former public defender takes us behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts, revealing how the institutions that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite--and offering a blueprint for finally fixing it. As Americans, we are told a rose-tinted story about our criminal courts--that these are the hallowed halls of justice, that the purpose of our legal process is to find the truth, and that those who enforce the law are both equitable and heroic. But what if the reality is being purposefully obscured to hide something rotten at the system's core? In The Price of Mercy, attorney and former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza weaves hard data and unforgettable stories, dark humor and compelling evidence to tell us the truth about what's really going on behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts. She shows us how jails actually increase future crime, the dirty tricks police use to make millions in overtime pay, how a man could spend decades in prison because scientists mistook dog hair for his own, the perverse incentives that push prosecutors to seek convictions even when they themselves don't want to, and how judges may decide cases differently after lunch. We'll learn what's working, too: how public defenders can improve public health and even economic mobility, and how planting more trees can reduce a neighborhood's murder rates. But a lone defender winning a case won't change the system. Galvin Almanza argues that we need an engaged public to confront the stark reality of our crime-generating, poverty-entrenching, health-destroying legal apparatus and rebuild it into something that can save our collective present and prevent our future from being torn apart. Provocative and eye-opening, The Price of Mercy lifts the curtain on the way our laws really operate and presents a path forward for true transformation of the American criminal court system. Justice, and the law itself, is not some static thing. It is something enacted together, decision by decision, in acts of inhumanity or mercy.
