Watching the Game is the stunning memoir of Judy Johnson-English
teacher, mother, wife, and lover of the all-American game of
baseball. As a preacher's daughter growing up in New Jersey,
Johnson was inspired to love two things, God and the New York Mets.
Equally fluent in the language of the game and the poetry of
Shakespeare, Johnson's gorgeous stories bring to life each decade
and transition of her existence: trading baseball cards with her
best childhood friend, dating while attending an all-girls school,
taking a newborn baby to the ballpark, saying goodbye to her son as
he joins the military. While time and seasons dance to a rhythm of
change, one scene remains the same-men in cleats on a diamond, the
reassuring crack of the bat, and a field aglow in stadium lights.
Eleven-year-old Matt is struggling in school and he has to set up his own business to save his failing math grade. But what is he even good at? The only thing he truly loves is his team of dogs, and so Matt's Sled Dog School is born. Teaching dogsledding should be easy, right?
But people, just like dogs, can be unpredictable. And sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is admit they need help. Like Terry Lynn Johnson's popular Ice Dogs, Sled Dog School is about overcoming adversity, finding your strengths, and your friends, and following your passions.
Throughout Love Gone Wrong, the familiar fairy tale, Cinderella, is
used to outline and tell the unfamiliar journey of a victim who
repressed years of childhood sexual abuse. Laurel Bahr's
step-by-step account of discovery, opposition, and lessons learned
is interwoven with the "behind closed-door" stories of two friends
who were ultimately inspired to follow in her footsteps. Their
remarkable journey highlights the power of close, authentic,
long-term relationships and proves that change is possible, dreams
do come true if one only believes. With the goal to inspire and
offer hope to victims, their families, and those who care about
them, Love Gone Wrong chronicles the stereotypical aspects of
emotional, verbal, sexual, and physical abuse. Clinical insights
from a psychologist and other health professionals occur at key
junctures to explain, validate, and support their experiences.
This book is for professors, administrators, government
officials, and every part of global society that has a stake in
higher education or the problems faced by humanity today. It is
also for students, their families, and communities who want a
different performance from institutions of higher education. Its
purpose is to start, stimulate, and encourage a dialogue about
higher education and the way it is experienced today. We have
attempted to do more than give some absolute model, wanting to
provide mechanisms for ongoing dialogue-based transformation. The
dialogue begins with the offering of a model of the way higher
education could be reinvented. This model is built on certain
assumptions about learning, work, and the environment and purpose
of higher education. Within these parameters, it is acknowledged
that this model is only one out of a possible hundred different
ways to get to the same place.

In the darkness of the Great War, can she create a brighter future?
Martha Owen has not had an easy start in life. Her abusive father
dominates the family and she has lost her only friend after a
painful falling-out. Her father’s reliance on the bottle, and his
increasingly violent temper, brings turmoil for Martha, her mother
and her three siblings and with World War One causing more strain
on the home front, her prospects look bleak. With no money or
qualifications to speak of, starting a job at the Potteries feels
like a lifeline, but Martha finds herself wanting more than the
production line job she works on. Her one talent is her artistic
flair, but will this be enough to help her rise the ranks at
Paradise Pottery and make a future for herself? And can she ever
escape her father’s dark shadow over her? An uplifting and moving
saga from the author of the bestselling Wartime with the Tram
Girls. Fans of Nancy Revell and Rosie Hendry will be captivated.
