He stated that he had previously worked as a police officer in Florida but has moved to New Mexico to explore new opportunities. Will he be successful in finding them?

Her cat has died, her prospectus committee has asked for major revisions, and she is living in Texas. To earn extra money until she has fulfilled all the PhD requirements, Miss Thorpe has accepted an instructor position at a local community college. She has been assigned a developmental literature class, and the students--in her opinion--are ill-prepared for any level. She begins with twenty-three students, but the number quickly drops to fourteen. After two days of class, one student commented, "Professors like that make me want to give up." "I can see why she's a 'Miss'," said another. But Nita Garcia is determined to make a better life for herself and her children. She is not going to let one rude teacher spoil her dreams. Neither is Jeremy, who has promised his mother that he will go to college. And LaKeisha will simply not tolerate the haughty Miss Thorpe. Read how the students become the teachers to the professor as they share details of the harsh realities of their lives. Learn how their stories impact Miss Thorpe and her teaching methods. And see how respect and understanding can truly change lives.
As I wrote some of the stories for this book, I shared them with my brother, requesting that he fill in my memory blanks and verify some of the details. Recently, I sent an email to him with the latest tale attached and asked, “Do strange things happen to me, or am I just strange?” “You are strange, definitely strange,” he returned. Read these accounts and decide for yourself if life has handed me a unique set of experiences, if I am indeed strange, or if maybe both are true! ***** These narratives will prompt you to remember your childhood, remind you of simpler times, and perhaps—probably—make you chuckle.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When Marilyn Pindar did not come home on Sunday night, her sister, Sheila, was alarmed. She and a couple of friends had dropped by the apartment a little after 7:30 the previous evening, to find her sister out, and after waiting a few minutes, had left. They had not heard from Marilyn since. #2 The typical missing persons case is some restless student taking off on a lark. In such environments, the police are usually hard pressed to find anything suspicious. #3 Following her disappearance, the Pindars showed themselves to be people of extraordinary self-possession. They remained on the surface unruffled. The father returned to his job, the mother to her normal household routine. #4 The Marilyn Pindar case was opened up on July 11, when Detective Lieutenant Vern Howard was assigned to it. He pieced together a timeline of her last known movements on Sunday, July 9, the day she went missing. She went to church, then to the university, and finally to Silver Lake.
Houston bounty hunter Dixie Flannigan is a legend in the jails and courtrooms for her combination of brains, cunning, and macho style. But she's about to learn that there are limits to even her toughness. Parker Dann, accused of killing a child in a drunk-driving accident, is a bail jumper, fleeing the prospect of a long prison term. Dixie tracks Dann to the wilds of North Dakota and has him safely cuffed and shackled in the back of her Mustang, when a massive Blue Norther blizzard hits. It will take every ounce of Dixie's Superbitch abilities to get them back to Texas in one piece, preferably before her bitch facade cracks...and before she starts believing that Parker Dann--drunk, child-killer, and bail jumper--is innocent. From the Paperback edition.
