Reviews
"A devastatingly preventable crime is at the center of this book, and yet it is the love, courage, and empathy of the people involved--and of the author--that stay with you. Written with great sensitivity and even greater beauty, it is about so many things: a city, childhood, family, failure, loss, horror, forgiveness. It is, very nearly, about everything." -- Jeff Hobbs, New York Times bestselling author of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace, "An inspiring account that leaves the reader with a profound appreciation for our responsibility to one another. From a harrowing crime, it draws powerful lessons for our mental health and criminal justice systems that can't be ignored. And the compassion with which it treats the victims, the survivor, and the perpetrator makes it indelible--a book I'll be recommending for years for the way it appeals to both the conscience and the heart." -- Sister Helen Prejean, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dead Man Walking "A devastatingly preventable crime is at the center of this book, and yet it is the love, courage, and empathy of the people involved--and of the author--that stay with you. Written with great sensitivity and even greater beauty, it is about so many things: a city, childhood, family, failure, loss, horror, forgiveness. It is, very nearly, about everything." -- Jeff Hobbs, New York Times bestselling author of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace "The great achievement of this book is that it shows how any crime is ultimately a failure of systems and of citizens, and that to some degree we are all complicit when a person who needs help is cast aside. To show empathy for a criminal, especially a criminal who has committed such a violent act, ennobles the process and purpose of journalism." -- Dan Zak, author of The Prophets of Oak Ridge "Gripping . . . Moving . . . Sanders's meticulous narrative [is] a disturbing indictment of society's neglect of the mentally ill." -- Publishers Weekly, "An inspiring account that leaves the reader with a profound appreciation for our responsibility to one another.

Synopsis
"Binged Making a Murderer ? Try . . . this] riveting portrait of a tragic, preventable crime." -- Entertainment Weekly Finalist for the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter's gripping account of one young man's path to murder--and a wake-up call for mental health care in America On a summer night in 2009, three lives intersected in one American neighborhood. Two people newly in love--Teresa Butz and Jennifer Hopper, who spent many years trying to find themselves and who eventually found each other--and a young man on a dangerous psychological descent: Isaiah Kalebu, age twenty-three, the son of a distant, authoritarian father and a mother with a family history of mental illness. All three paths forever altered by a violent crime, all three stories a wake-up call to the system that failed to see the signs. In this riveting, probing, compassionate account of a murder in Seattle, Eli Sanders, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his newspaper coverage of the crime, offers a deeply reported portrait in microcosm of the state of mental health care in this country--as well as an inspiring story of love and forgiveness. Culminating in Kalebu's dangerous slide toward violence--observed by family members, police, mental health workers, lawyers, and judges, but stopped by no one-- While the City Slept is the story of a crime of opportunity and of the string of missed opportunities that made it possible. It shows what can happen when a disturbed member of society repeatedly falls through the cracks, and in the tradition of The Other Wes Moore and The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace, is an indelible, human-level story, brilliantly told, with the potential to inspire social change., "Binged Making a Murderer ?
