Fifteen-year-old Lacey Mayford has been infatuated with Matthew since she was a little girl. Matthew, a half-breed Indian, doesn't see her as anything more than a little girl cousin. How can she convince him that she is growing into a beautiful young woman he should consider? In the frontier town near the turn of the century, Matthew Thorton is blamed for Luther Hannibal's murder after an altercation with Luther over stolen furs. Lacey defends Matthew with the help of a teacher, Felix Grackle. They look into other suspects who could have killed Luther Hannibal. Matthew's father Luke and his best friend Jacque Pierre are looking for the person responsible for stealing the furs. They believe the thief might have something to do with Luther Hannibal's murder. Will Lacey be able to clear Matthew's name? Will Luke and Jacque Pierre find the man who stole the furs? Will the vigilantes stop the Whiskey Rebellion without bloodshed? The truth is far more sinister than anyone could imagine.

Why is it that "the one that got away" sometimes intrigues us more than the one that didn't? Sara Anderson, a kindergarten teacher engaged to handsome young minister Daniel Parker, faces that question when she is called for jury duty and discovers that an old flame is the prosecuting attorney. During a week-long jury trial, Sara faces a torrent of emotions - betrayal, bitterness, fear, and worry - all the while listening to the evidence in the case at hand. Despite her own troubles, Sara is drawn into the story of young Justin Hargis, the defendant in the case, and his assertion that he doesn't remember striking and killing the young girl whose death led to the trial. Sara suspects that there is more to the story than meets the eye, but she isn't prepared for the answer to be so shockingly close to her own heart.

Several studies have been conducted to investigate the level of job satisfaction among employees within different types of organizations. A satisfied workforce leads to higher productivity because of fewer disruptions such as absenteeism, departure of good employees, and incidences of destructive behavior. Although extensive research has been done in this area, there are still some major controversies as to what are the real factors that contribute to workers' satisfaction and dissatisfaction at the workplace. This book therefore describes the elements that contribute to job satisfaction and its relationship to organizational and religious commitment among workers in higher education. It is the expectation that the content of this book will help to provide an atmosphere within the organization that will enhance workers' satisfaction and increase their level of commitment.
