In 1970, National Guard troops at Kent State University unloaded sixty-seven rounds over thirteen seconds, killing four, paralyzing one, and wounding eight peaceful protestors. Today, officers kill black men and women often without indictment. Though Wild World is set in the ‘70s, it brings to light parallels between that era’s cultural and political climate and today’s tempestuous climate: peaceful protestors are vilified by the government and police officers beat and sometimes kill nonviolent suspects without repercussion. Terence Crutcher’s murder is just an instance in the epidemic of police brutality and excessive use of force, themes dealt with in Peter S. The fact that the charge brought against Shelby was manslaughter-not murder, which it most certainly was-is absurd and an egregious abuse of power. Shelby not only evaded justice (or justice evaded her) but now it’s legally as if nothing ever happened. Last year, Shelby shot and killed Terence Crutcher during a traffic stop and was acquitted of manslaughter. On October 25, 2017, Arizona District Judge William LaFortune removed a manslaughter case against former officer Betty Shelby.

He’s not really a Marian or a Wilde despite having DNA ties to both. When Miller Hobbs finds himself on a winter vacation in Colorado with the giant, exceedingly loud, Marian and Wilde families, he doesn’t quite know what to do with himself. Can two strangers find love among the quaint chaos of an Aster Valley Christmas?
