"Once the flashy, successful lawyer known for his in-your-face billboards--IN AN ACCIDENT? GET RICH--Jason Rich has fallen from grace, his reputation scrubbed of its glitz and his life stripped of the people he cares about. All thanks to meth kingpin Tyson Cade. But when Cade is shot and killed in the heart of his territory, things go from bad to worse for Jason as he is charged with his murder. To clear his name, Jason seeks help from an unlikely source: Shay Lankford, an old adversary and attorney almost as disgraced as Jason himself. Now Jason and Shay have even more to lose--their lives--as they dig into the dangerous truth behind Tyson Cade's murder. Neither time nor evidence is on their side, but after everything he's lost, Jason is determined to save his future from the mistakes of his past--no matter the price."--Provided by publisher.

Mary Margaret Knight was born in Charleston, South Carolina, the survivor of a twin birth that left her with a broken-mirror life tainted with anguish and heartbreak. Raised by a polio-handicapped, alcoholic, violent father and a mother stricken with sleeping sickness, she and her sister, Nora, became street survivors until the Child Welfare Bureau placed them in a Catholic orphanage in Charleston...only to be raised and abused by the Sisters of Charity. After five years the girls were released and returned to their ever-angry father and inwardly declining mother. Mary Margaret escaped at age 17 after a five-day courtship and wedding to a Georgia farm-boy-turned-soldier. Ten years and six babies later, he decided to return to his roots in the red hills of Georgia, where she found herself plucking chickens, killing hogs, confronted by enraged roosters, creek leeches, venomous snakes, and a forbidding husband who was no less ill-tempered. In 1950s rural Georgia, whether living in a small town or on a farm, Mary Margaret was always voiceless and powerless, a master of the art of obedience, a victim of the seclusion and discontent of being housebound by her despotic husband. Her life became defined by place-memories of a field, a room, a house, a religious conversion, a town misfit, a city tragedy, a dead child. Aside from her family, other people were superfluous. Her focus was on her children and little else. This powerful and compelling memoir is a compilation of a son's recollections of his mother's vivid and poignant stories, those of an intrepid Southern woman who survived the Great Depression, World War II, and post-war poverty. It is a story of survival, a lesson in seeing the positive when all around is threatening, and a tribute to one woman's hidden strength.

"Now that attorney Jason Rich has returned home to Guntersville, Alabama, the "In an accident? Get rich!" lawyer is anxious to leave his checkered past behind. Jason hopes this next chapter in his life will be a chance to confront his personal troubles while making amends with his family. But when a former high school football star stands accused of killing a police officer, Jason is unwillingly thrust into the chaos. The local meth king blackmails Jason into defending the alleged murderer, and Jason knows he can't refuse. With the lives of his family and closest friends on the line, he takes the obviously unwinnable case. As Jason dives into the investigation, he vows to dismantle the meth empire gripping his hometown. But as he confronts alternative suspects and follows new leads, Jason realizes that everyone has secrets to hide and interests to protect--at any cost."--

Small-town attorney Bocephus Haynes investigates the murder of a teen pop star, the prime suspect of which is a local high school football hero, the victim's boyfriend.

This research is important so as to understand and better prepare new (and in some cases seasoned) teachers about how to best integrate global education practices into their curriculum through deliberate gatekeeping methods. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which self-identified global educators acting as gatekeepers include thematic elements of global education theory into their lessons and the strategies that they employ in the face of multiple elements that potentially discourage such behaviors.

When Randy wakes up on the morning of his 40th birthday, he thinks the best thing he can do for his family is kill himself - until he is offered four rounds of golf with his four heros, and four chances to change his life.

Robert Bailey reconstructs the history of conceptual art collective Art & Language to show how its international collaborations with dozens of artists and critics between 1969 and 1977 laid the foundation for global contemporary art, all while highlighting how conceptual art exceeds the visual to impact the philosophical and political.
