New York Times bestselling author Janet Dailey journeys to the Lone Star state and the Cee Bar Ranch, where the Calders face a new threat to their land and way of life. Quint Echohawk is a lawman, not a rancher, but he's a Calder through and through. And when someone sets out to undermine the Calders' Texas outfit, it's time for him to step in and investigate. From the moment Quint's boots touch Texas dirt, it's clear that everyone in town is running scared from Max Rutledge, the ruthless owner of a competing ranch. Posing as a cowboy looking for work, Quint has no one to trust but "Empty" Garner and his granddaughter, Dallas. In Empty, Quint finds a steadfast ally; in Dallas, Quint finds something more—the promise of a future. In a town where betrayal lies around every corner, where every unlocked door, thrown punch, or suspicious fire is just a hint of deadlier things to come, the Calders will be tested as never before. And this time, it could cost them more than their land. . .it could cost them everything.

Taking a close look at the forces that affect English education in schools—at the ways literature, cognitive science, the privileging of the STEM disciplines, and current educational policies are connected—this timely book counters with a strong argument for the importance of continuing to teach literature in middle and secondary classrooms. The case is made through critical examination of the ongoing "culture wars" between the humanities and the sciences, recent research in cognitive literary studies demonstrating the power of narrative reading, and an analysis of educational trends that have marginalized literature teaching in the U.S., including standards-based and scripted curricula. The book is distinctive in presenting both a synthesis of arguments for literary study in the middle and high school and sample lesson plans from practicing teachers exemplifying how literature can positively influence adolescents’ intellectual, emotional, and social selves.
Thunder McCloud is getting her life back on track marrying her handsome love. And all those very strange occurrences unfolding have a logical explanation: seeing the French fortuneteller can be written off as mental stress; the local dentist's unusual behavior can be blamed on his senility--so what if he and his male lover are plotting premeditated homicide? What is odd about the groom's mother-in-law sharing the bridal suite in Isle de Linda with a Russian lover who is a possible assassin? There is nothing more "normal" unless one considers the rationale of Thunder's grandmother who is secretly residing at High Heaven Mental Institution--well, she was told the old relative was residing in heaven. There is no comparing Thunder's life to a Ferris wheel or a roller coaster ride; it's the blurring rotation of a toy top and it will be spinning out of control for sometime before she leads that boring existence she craves with her new husband.(Third book in the Thunder McCloud series.)
