Laura Jensen Walker was always a good girl. Growing up in the Midwest in the 1960s, she was a polite, straight-A student who respected her elders, went to church on Sunday, and never gave her parents any trouble. Bookworm Laura was the poster child for good girls everywhere. Until one fateful night in a college fraternity house. A dreamer and optimist who always bounced back quickly from disappointments and hard times, Laura buried the memory of the-thing-that-must-not-be-named. After that awful night, she plunged headlong into life, joining the Air Force and flying a typewriter across Europe in an exciting, death-defying job as a clerk-typist.This is the journey of a "good-girl-gone-bad-gone-good-again" and her search for belonging and acceptance, with funny and not-so-funny detours through boot camp, Britain, book-burning, breast cancer, and born-again evangelicals. Ultimately, it's a story of resilience. Victory. And healing."GOOD GIRL is that rare find - a memoir of tough times that is neither harrowing nor saccharine but rather brutally honest, sharply intelligent, courageous, clear-sighted, and even funny. Yes, you will boil with sympathetic rage, but the smooth-as-silk writing turns every page into a pleasure and Laura Walker's indomitable spirit will make you stand up and cheer.--Catriona McPherson, multi-award-winning author of In Place of Fear and the bestselling Dandy Gilver series

What makes America so great? For parents wanting to answer that question for their kids, "The Greatest Great Nation" rhymes its way through the three foundational mottos emblazoned on every single American coin: "E Pluribus Unum," "Liberty," and "In God We Trust."

Every morning, a fearful monster called apep lurked beneath the place of sunrise, ready to swallow up the solar disk. This "Great Devil" was impossible to destroy, even for the Sun-god. However, by reciting morning after morning the powerful spell that Thoth provided him with, he could paralyze all of Apep's limbs and rise upon this World. Since the "great gods," though benevolently inclined towards the dead, are unable to protect them from demons that lived upon "bodies, souls, spirits, shadows, and hearts of the dead," the Egyptians decided to invoke Thoth's assistance on behalf of their dead and to place them under the protection of his spells. Many funerary texts were composed by Egyptian theologians under the fourth dynasty (about 3700 B.C.) and were probably well known under the first dynasty and throughout the whole Period of dynastic history; Thoth was thought to be the author of the "Book of the Dead."

Like most things in Janie's life, she doesn't intend for them to happen, they just happen. But in the real world, a violent event unknowingly leads to an encounter with a very dangerous person, one whose intensions for the girl are anything but imaginary. When the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus comes to town, Janie's fantasies and reality collide, and it may be too late to tell them apart.Set against the backdrop of small town America in the midst of WWII and events leading up to the Hartford circus fire, Janie's story is as much one of a fight for her sanity as it is for her life. Told with humor and insight, the story weaves themes of friendship, family bonds, and how being different can be one's greatest strength.
