The informative book about drugs and cartels, “For Such A Time As This” by Melita Wade Thorpe, will soon be displayed by the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. The country’s book festival will occur on April 20-21, 2024, at the University of Southern California, LA, California.

“For Such A Time As This” follows the remarkable journey of ten-year-old Ellie Wadsworth, who unwittingly steps into the world of drugs when a fateful crash brings a drug mule’s plane to her grandpa’s farm in south Mississippi.

As Ellie grows up amidst the shadows of the drug community, this gripping story takes readers on a transformative journey from the rural landscapes of Mississippi to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. It extends its reach further, delving into the perilous depths of Oaxaca, Mexico, where Ellie embarks on a mission to uncover cartel factories.

The book represents resilience as Ellie rises from her humble roots to become a DEA agent, determined to combat the forces that once infiltrated her life.
