Liminal Spaces of Writing in Adolescent and Adult Education addresses the persistent gap in writing reform at the middle, secondary, and post-secondary level. Through an examination of "useful" and "liminal" writing, the book explores the intellectual and creative space where structured expectations verge with individual imagination in writing. The premise of the book is built around a multiplicity of ways to invite adolescent and adult students to enter into states of liminality where they are encouraged to experiment with style, form, genre, and voice. Through research featuring the perspectives of adolescents, classroom teachers, teacher educators, graduate students, and literacy researchers, the book offers numerous insights into fostering a liminal and useful approach to writing instruction. Each author takes the reader through a journey of finding the liminal as teachers, writers, and researchers. Taken together, this tapestry of perspectives puts forth the argument that liminal moments are necessary caveats to explore in order to cultivate fully actualized writing where students are in control of structures and traditional writing expectations but also free to imagine new ways of breaking with conventions and being as writers. Thus, the book argues liminal writing is critical in bringing about sustained writing reform.

After the tragic death of her little brother - a death Maggie causes - Maggie forsakes her dreams of the stage and withdraws from the world.

And while powerful people throw open doors for Maggie's singing career, Maggie fights and resists and drags her feet. She cannot shake the fear that she will simply repeat the mistakes of her past if she returns to the stage. Soon Maggie strikes up a friendship with Chad Kennely, the only person who doesn't have a vested interest in her success. After realizing they're both guarding secrets from their pasts, their friendship borders on something more, but as Chad quickly makes a one-eighty and confronts his mistakes, Maggie lags behind. Even though Maggie has witnessed a change in Chad, she's still not certain God can forgive her for what she's done.

The third book in the Cadence Series finds Maggie Zimmerman facing a dilemma. Her growing success as a vocalist is putting her relationship with Chad Kennely in jeopardy. Unable, and unwilling, to choose between career and love life, she gets engaged, and then marries, despite the insistence of her manager, Milt Norino that she remain untangled in relationship. She simply doesn't inform Milt of her marriage. For a time, Maggie manages to continue to meet Milt's stringent demands, while concealing her marriage. The more success Maggie's enjoys, the more difficult it becomes to inform the Norinos that she is a married woman. When Lilly, Milt's wife, finally learns of Maggie's deception, Maggie finds herself without a manager or agent, without a future as a singer, without a vocal coach, and without direction. As Maggie's plans and dreams fall increasingly by the wayside, even Chad struggles to feel confident in God's plan.

Over the past fifty years the American people have abandoned constitutional principles in pursuit of government handouts, prosperity built upon debt and freedom from personal responsibility. Over the next 50 years, America's headlong fall into socialism will intersect with China's soaring free enterprise sounding the death knell of the 400 year Anglo/American Empire. Reason & Tolerance offers a concise argument for an American Civic Revolution necessary to divert this threat and asks if Americans have the courage to honor the sacrifices of their forebears by once again embracing liberty through personal initiative and responsibility.
