Hot on the heels of his latest courtroom victory, his wife is brutally murdered. Devastated, Stafford Lee spirals into a losing streak that forces him to abandon his once brilliant career.
But his wife's killer is still on the loose and they seem determined to frame Stafford Lee for their crimes. Rising from rock bottom, he makes a bold return to court - to defend himself in the biggest murder trial this town has ever seen.
Stafford Lee must crack the toughest case of his career. And this time, it's personal.
Nancy Brooks was sixteen when she went to sea with her father. Despite a gypsy fortune-teller’s warning to her mother, on 2 July 1938, she signed up as Captain’s Clerk for a shilling a week on the SS Nailsea Manor.
Leaving from Birkenhead in Liverpool, the ship was to circumnavigate the world. The log Nancy Fancy Pants, as she became known, types during the voyage tells tales of exotic ports, fascinating people and places, and the rope-and-grease routine of a sailor. On board, she masters navigation, the Morse code as well as all the sea knots, and she flies high on the swing the crew rig up for her. On land, she learns even more, but when a squall takes its toll one stormy night in Australia, she is unprepared for the lessons death brings. Between the neatly typed lines of her extraordinary record, she captures her own journey, of self-discovery, and love.
The Skipper’s Daughter interweaves the log with Nancy’s recollections and is lovingly shared with us by her daughter, Nancy Richards.
When FBI profiler Kaely Quinn's mother is diagnosed with cancer, Kaely takes time off work to go to Dark Water, Nebraska, to help her brother care for their mother. Upon her arrival, she learns of a series of fires in the small town, attributed by the fire chief to misuse of space heaters in the frigid winter. But Kaely is skeptical, and a search for a pattern in the locations of the fires bolsters her suspicions.
After yet another blaze devastates a local family, Kaely is certain a serial arsonist is on the loose. Calling upon her partner from St. Louis, Noah Hunter, and her brother's firefighter neighbor who backs Kaely's suspicions, Kaely and her team begin an investigation that swiftly leads them down a twisted path.
When the truth is finally revealed, Kaely finds herself confronting a madman who is determined his last heinous act will be her death.

Now in its 3rd edition, Better Learning Through Structured Teaching
is the definitive guide to the gradual release of responsibility-an
instructional framework any teacher can use to help students to be
more successful and self-directed learners.To gradually release
responsibility is to equip students with what they need to master
content and develop new competencies. On a day-to-day basis, it
means delivering lessons intentionally structured to incorporate
four interrelated phases: * Focused Instruction ("I do it") that
sets students up for cognitive apprenticeship by establishing
lesson purpose, modeling strategies and skills, and sharing
information and insight. * Guided Instruction ("We do it together")
that incorporates targeted prompts, cues, and questions to scaffold
understanding. * Collaborative Learning ("You do it together") that
allows students to consolidate and extend understanding through
accountable group tasks built on discussion and cooperative problem
solving. * Independent Learning ("You do it alone") that provides
students opportunities to practice and apply the skills and
knowledge they've acquired to create authentic products and ask new
questions. Authors Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey detail the
components of each phase, sharing proven strategies and real-life
examples. You'll find a variety of useful tips for classroom
implementation, along with new guidance on teacher credibility,
social-emotional learning, and embedding assessment throughout all
four phases. No matter what grade level or subject you teach,
Better Learning Through Structured Teaching is an essential
resource for improving your practice and empowering your students.
A guide to disrupting harmful mindsets and practices in our schools
so that students can thrive where they are.In many schools and
districts, students of color living in low-income communities are
told in simple and covert ways every day that they must leave their
communities if they want to be successful. The message may be
well-intentioned, but the leave to succeed (L2S) mindset is a
dangerous narrative that affects students' sense of self. Students
start to wonder: Are low-income or marginalized communities
inherently "bad"? What happens to the people who don't "make it
out"? Who is worthy of success? Instead, Nancy GutiÉrrez and
Roberto Padilla turn the L2S mindset on its head to interrogate how
school and district leaders can nurture and support students to
find success in their own communities. They share real-world
vignettes, reflection questions, and clear and simple tips to build
an asset-based, uplifting approach that honors the backgrounds,
cultures, and strengths of Black and Brown communities. You will
learn how to * Recognize how the L2S mindset is pervasive in many
schools. Encourage students to develop their unique stories of self
that highlight their cultural backgrounds. Build schools that are
innovative, offer a community-rich curriculum, and are held
accountable to provide deep learning to all students. Rewrite the
dominant narrative in your school system to become a disruptive yet
positive force in education. Embrace the moral responsibility to be
an equitable, fair, and compassionate leader to all students, no
matter their socioeconomic backgrounds. No one is truly served by
deficit-based narratives, and for every student to feel valued and
affirmed, schools and districts must embrace the idea that any
student in any school can stay in their community and prevail.
There are things about you quite unlike any other. Things always
known by your father or mother. So if you decide to be different
one day, no worries . . . I'd know you anyway. Every child is
special and unique, but every child also loves to dream of being
something different. In I'd Know You Anywhere, My Love, bestselling
author and artist Nancy Tillman has created another heartfelt
masterpiece celebrating the joys of imagination, and the comfort of
always knowing that "you are loved."
Struggling readers need personalized, focused, and
assessment-driven instruction. In other words, they need
interventions that work. Cooper, Chard, and Kiger provide those
interventions in this essential resource. Covering the most
important aspects of literacy-- oral language, phonemic awareness,
word recognition, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and
writing--the authors organize the interventions around a
classroom-tested framework for assessing students, diagnosing their
needs, teaching them based on findings, and reassessing them to
determine whether more instruction, practice, or application are
needed.
