But, within weeks of returning to build a life with him, she finds herself living in the remote countryside in a 12 x 12 cabin without running water, electricity, or indoor plumbing.

Lowry is a junior at Bronzetown High School. Not that exciting. She has certain expectations about the Japanese exchange student who will be living with her family throughout the year. Tami (the exchange student with a super-American first name) doesn't meet Lowry's expectations. And apparently, no one warned Tami about Lowry's port-wine stain across her face. Plus, none of the other exchange kids in the school seem as weird as Tami.When Tami hides from her host family in odd locations, like under Tami's toddler brother's bed, and calls Lowry a 'monster' to her face, Lowry takes action to get Tami and all her weirdness sent back to Japan. It turns out that's a lot easier planned than accomplished. Even with Tami failing all her classes and having weird sleep habits, Lowry can't seem to get anyone on her side.Spending so much energy on entrapping Tami, Lowry's grades plummet. Her friends don't seem to have her back, her debate coach keeps giving her dumb outdated topics to argue, her parents are in some stupid fight because Bevan (Lowry's older brother with a more severe case of Sturge-Weber syndrome) gets put back on seizure meds. Clearly, it's all Tami's fault and everyone is being totally unfair to Lowry.Ugh! Tami ruins everything!

Here is the story of Shankspeare - author of such theatre classics as Loins Labors Lost, King Porkrind the Third, A Midsummer Night's Pig Roast and MacBoar, and the creator of such unforgettable characters as Julius Razorback, Brute Chops, Katherina Pigiron, Swineo and Drooliet, and Hamhock, Prince of Denmark - as told by pigs! Blasphemy? More like a delightful farce with a large, flexible cast. And the play actually sheds light on the famous Swan of Avon. We follow Shankspeare from a humble birth in Fatsford-on-Avon, to fame in the city of Loin-don, and ending with the monument in Westhamster Abbey. This action-packed comedy is filled with puns, satire, silliness, and even brief scenes from Shakespeare given a new porcine twist!

In her compelling work, The Autobiography of Poverty: My Childhood in Poem, author, Doris Wellington interweaves graphic poetic narratives that open the portal to a symphonic expose in which those least expected battle and overcome the crucibles of poverty-one of the most devastating of all human experiences. Dramatic literary language extracts from the severity of her childhood reality and invites readers into a world of transparent vulnerabilities, challenges, and distresses.She is not afraid to confront what some attempt to paint and pass off as an irreversible affliction that disfigures an otherwise perfect society. However, the author points out that it is not the poor who are the stain on society; rather those who close their eyes, pull down their shutters in hopes that the poor will go away-forgetting that when we turn a deaf ear or a cold heart against human suffering-whatever the plight, we have become the affliction among the afflicted we hate-the evil that stains society with indifference. With her mother as her guiding force she reveals how she was taught to use faith in God and dreams with wings to overcome the perils of poverty and all of its pathogenic matter. And to understand without reservation that you might live among the relics and rituals of poverty, but you do not have to breath in its content as your stationary place in life. You can dream and achieve a better life if you don't give up working to that end.

"Trust Like a Child" does not mean blissful disregard of who should be trusted, but means as a child would trust and respond to a consistent loving and secure relationship with the Living God... no fear, doubt or cynicism, when grace and peace are confirmed in kindness. There is great personal danger in stubbornly trusting in ideologies or ancient cultures, which are devoid of God's Grace to Save. Often this leads to a place of despair, where hopes and dreams are ruined. Foolish thoughts and actions of a naïve, stubborn child are grounded in untrustworthy feelings and emotions in which, there is no stable foundation of Truth. A steadfast child though, who trusts in the Living God, receives wisdom, understanding, and protection in life on Earth and eternally beyond. This child is free indeed.

Based on a decade's research into the problem of employee discontent, this book makes a critical contribution to understanding the fundamental causes of conflict in the workplace.Beyond Management demonstrates that the fundamental relationship between employer and employee is not a contractual one, but a relationship of power. In doing so it thoroughly explores the distinction between management and leadership and spells out the requirements for rendering legitimate the power of those in charge of an enterprise.The author proposes that the only way in which a legitimate post-technocratic society may be achieved is through restoring the human being to his rightful place in the organization. The only people who can do this are those who, on a daily basis, have the right to demand the acquiescence of others: the leadership at work.This book is essential reading for all students of social and business sciences and also for practicing managers.
