Despite it all Dinah is determined to survive, to beat the odds. Growing up, money was an issue in their houshold. It's what Big Mama and Papa argued about. Kevin and Dinah worked hard to ensure their family never had that problem. But no amount of money could right this wrong, Dinah never thought she would see the day when it didn't make a difference if she had one million or one dollar. She was use to a world blinded by financial and social status.

Dinah was proud of her heritage and where she came from, it helped her to appreciate what she had. Everything was perfect in her eye as well as everyone else's. She never imagined she'd face tragedy beyond her wildest nightmare. This betrayal would sacrifice everything she and Kevin worked so hard for and much more. It is what it is; Dinah had to face the fact that she could not buy their way out of this one. Driven by Big Mama's saying, and her best freind Gloria at her side. Dinah would prove that she is truly a fighter. Minimize

The need for "educational reform" has once again returned to our national discourse. However, despite many years of federal, state and local legislative mandates and school reform initiatives, remarkably few substantive changes have occurred within the standard public school classroom. Classes of 25 students, sitting in rows, at desks, in rooms that are often too small, under the direction of an individual teacher, continue to be the norm. The time for an honest re-examination of failed "outside-in/top down" educational reform policies is beyond urgent. We must shift our focus to the requisites of those who do the actual educating: Teachers!Hank Warren is passionate about the "calling" of teaching. "It Simply Must Be Said' focuses on the issues facing education from the perspective of an active public school teacher via a collection of observations, experiences, stories and recommendations from 34 years in teaching. Throughout the book Hank addresses serious concerns with humor and relevant tales of a Minimize

A collection of extraordinary letters expressing the joys, sorrows, and surprises of ordinary lives. We've all missed the chance to say something important. Friends fall out of touch, loved ones pass away, or sometimes the courage required is simply lacking -- and thank-yous, regrets, feelings, and secrets are left unshared. In 2009, Jackie Hooper came up with a way to help people recapture a moment that had once passed them by -- she began asking them to write letters.Based on the popular blog The Things You Would Have Said, this extraordinary collection of letters brings together the moving, surprising, and inspiring stories of ordinary people. By turns heartwarming, funny, sad, and wise, the letters showcase a remarkable range of voices and subjects. From the indignant young boy urging his bully to become "a better man," to the woman apologizing to the girl she picked on in high school, to a man thanking the woman who protected his family from Nazis, the letters bring together an outpouring of emotion that is as compelling as it is cathartic.

Poetry is unique in its thought, style, and presentation. The selections in this small anthology of original poems, “AS SIMPLE, SIMPLY SAID”, are the first in a trilogy of compositions by Giovanni Maria Tommaso. They represent the thoughts, images, emotions, feelings and perspectives of a consciously lived spiritual, interior and existential life. Each particular subtle work is an expression of a certain perspective or view-point of delicateness which can go unnoticed or missed entirely in this hectic world of cheap, easy thrills and desires. We all live through these moments, we all have a perspective about them; not all can express them. Minimize
