Breaking away from the historically dominant narrative that White females make the best teachers, this book contends that effective teachers can be both "windows" and "mirrors" for students. Teachers should reflect the student population in racial and cultural terms while also serving as windows for students to see opportunities that lie outside of their immediate circumstances.

Meet Shirley, a little girl who asks way too many questions! After spending her early years on her grandparents' farm in Barbados, she returns home to Brooklyn and immediately makes herself known.

From the 1920s story of a controversial evangelist, to the present day mystery of a former District Attorney, everything changes when his search for the truth leads to an atrocity hidden from history.

The energy coursing through them changed in form, as strong as it’d been, but different. It bound them together, driving him closer, until she could see the fine hairs dusting his chin. Dagger lowered his hands to his sides. “By the authority of the church and in accordance with the state, I pronounce you husband and wife.” No sooner had he spoken than, in a wave of color, he faded from view.

Running "The Earth Shop", Lauren Fournier had seen many unusual things. The supernatural was, after all, the purpose of the store. But never, since she'd taken it over, had anyone in the Christian community entered without an ulterior motive. They want to "save her soul" without a heart for understanding who she was. But from the moment Reverend Dagger Dawkins first speaks to her, it's clear something about him is different. Not simply that he asks her out on a date. No man of his caliber has ever dared to do that. But also, she feels a pull toward him she can't explain.

Maybe learn a new language?

She was the one who gave birth to her, became her first friend, and encouraged her to try school that scary kindergarten year, which led her to a lifelong love of education. Yet, where author Dr. Sheila Williams learned most from her mother was during her mother's battle with clinical depression and later diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Her autobiography, entitled My Mother's Keeper, chronicles Sheila's sometimes dysfunctional but endearing friendship with her mother, which endured a parental role reversal amidst her mother's mental health issues.

"Who are you?" she asked, hesitant.

She would wake up any minute and find this night a dream. She hadn't gotten stuck on the side of the road in the midst of a downpour. She hadn't been....

Mitch Kruse learned the hard way that going to church three times a week while growing up did not answer the question: Have you ever thought about changing the scorecard of your life from money to wisdom? His pursuit to find the answer sparked a lifelong journey through the ultimate wisdom book, Proverbs, one that connects God's heart with street smarts.

She pulled her head back, and the expression she gave him spiraled down into his shoes. He'd blown it. He'd assumed once he held her close, she'd give in to the attraction growing between them. Yet there it was on her face. She wasn't after his money or his status. It'd take way more than either one of those to win her over.

Dumped in the bay off the California coast by an unknown assailant, Elaine Dodge felt her life gradually fade away. But what had it been over the last five years? Miserable. Her adopted mom is dead. Her friends have turned their backs. She should have expected it to end like this. Except, after being rescued from drowning by Anchor Dawkins, a superhuman boy at home in the water, she's thrown into a world where all is not what it seems. Not her being there. Not who's threatening them. Not their future together.

Headed north to Washington, DC aboard the wrong bus, Phoebe Faegen turns for help from the handsome boy seated on her left. But his instructions are strange from the start and his ability to stop a shooting with just the palm of his hand, when they arrive at their destination, is too much to be believed.

A fall from grace. A miracle of life. A gift of forgiveness. Mari Tatum has a secret. Forced to be Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the church play, she finds herself working alongside Shay McNab, the very boy she's keeping a secret from.

He dipped his head lower, his lips brushing hers, and a ringing began in her ears. For a moment, she almost believed it was real. He was the boy who'd stolen her heart, and she was there, eager to be with him. This kiss was out of love and not simply to fool their classmates.

The best way Coralee Pirtle can think of to be noticed by Roger Keen, is to show up at the big pool party in the right suit. Problem is, she doesn't own one and hasn't a dime to her name. Easily solved... she'll get a job. Working alongside Roman Avery at the local hardware store isn't exactly what she had in mind, but how hard can it be? Two weeks, one paycheck, and she's set.

"Go ahead," I said calmly. "Yell at me. Once again, all I remember is Jordan. Oh, yeah, and I remembered where I kept the chocolate, too. Only now, I think I'll share it rather than eat it all myself or do you have a problem with that?" His reply came out a sort of hissing growl. "You cannot like my best friend." Only one thing appeals to Sedona Keyes as much as chocolate - Jordan Merritt, her brother's best friend. But her brother is against it, so in favor of family peace, she sets her feelings aside.
