Laguna Beach Books Booksigning WILliam Wheeler
01.14.20
Laguna Beach Books is pleased to welcome William Wheeler, author of State of War: MS-13 and El Salvador's World of Violence on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 5 p.m, William will be discussing and signing copies of his book. RSVP at LagunaBeachBooks.com.
In State of War, foreign correspondent William Wheeler tells the story of how in the 1980s, the U.S. supported the repressive Salvadoran government in a brutal civil war, and many Salvadoran families fled to America―especially Los Angeles, where teenagers in poor neighborhoods founded MS-13. A decade later, the U.S. responded to rising anti-immigrant sentiment by deporting many Salvadorans back home. Ever since El Salvador has been one of the most violent countries in the world.
Light snacks and complimentary beverages will be served. The book may be purchased in advance at Laguna Beach Books or online at LagunaBeachBooks.com.

We need your Help to Finish our Documentary, ‘The Human TRial’
01.14.20
It's been 15 years since my son, Tristan, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes—overnight our lives changed. My son’s existence has become a scary rollercoaster of damaging blood sugar highs and lows.
Since then, I’ve been committed to raising awareness and funds for a cure. I'm the Executive Producer of “The Human Trial”, a feature-length documentary about the search for a cure for type 1 diabetes.
After 5 years of filming, our documentary is nearly done! Through the patients we profile, we hope to raise the public profile of this widely misunderstood disease and help lead the nation to new support, money and research towards a cure.
Since we're an independent film — and following science in real-time is costly — we continue to raise funds to complete the documentary.
I'm raising $5,000 for graphics that will help to illustrate this invisible condition. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated: at contribute. Your tax-deductible contribution will help us finish the film this year!
Thank you. I am so grateful for your support.
