“By means of her unique storytelling artistry, Sister Jane captures and involves the reader of Murphy, Apostle of the Smokies into the life of an exceptionally gifted, humble, and holy man who is Mr. “Will” Murphy destined to become Father Murphy. This unforgettable story comes alive through Sister Jane’s personal friendship and long association with Father Murphy. The journey of “Will” from the berries of Michigan to the forests of North Carolina and the picturesque Church of St. Margaret is beautifully written and thoroughly absorbing with rich detail, faith provoking historical insights and humorously warm anecdotes about the life of a remarkable man of faith, his family, and his legacy to Maggie Valley.” —Frances Marie Grady, SCL
This comprehensive volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of the key issues and developments in study abroad research and practice with a specific focus on the intercultural and language learning dimensions of the study abroad experience. Rather than looking at individual studies, the book seeks to capture the full complexity of the language learning and intercultural dynamics of study abroad by exploring a wide range of topics of particular interest to study abroad researchers and practitioners, including the role of individual differences, identity reconstruction and interculturality, the challenges of assessing learning outcomes, and recent pedagogical interventions designed to enhance and extend language learning and engagement in these contexts. The volume also takes a step back to look at future directions for study abroad research and offers innovative interventions in study abroad programming that emphasise its intercultural elements. This book is an authoritative resource for study abroad scholars and researchers in such fields as intercultural communication, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language education.

Plain Jane 2 was produced and written for the readers. The author endured more abuse in one lifetime than anyone should be exposed to. Jane wants her readers to know and understand that if she can fight for her freedom, then so can they. She came to this country and was left stranded with three children no home, no food, no job, and not a single English word in her vocabulary. While her eldest son was kept from her back home by her controlling mother-in-law, she raised her other children without a dime of public assistance or child support. She worked three jobs for a long time, saving money to eventually buy a home for her children and fight tooth and nail to reunite with her estranged son who she left as a child and reunited with as an adult. Finally she saw light at the end of tunnel, but her freedom was never free.
In any 17th century English society, a woman like the celebrated Elizabeth Bennet is easily noticed and quick to be admired for her witty tongue and sparkling personality. Yet there are as many of the same sex who have a soft-spoken, humble temper; always looking to please though never explicitly expressing how they feelmuch like Elizabeths sister, Jane Bennet. Ann Ashton is one of such character and disposition, who, on the brink of adulthood, has suddenly been brought into contact again with her childhood friend, Mr. Hampton, whom she had loved in her youth. But the circumstances of their previous parting has made Ann weary of the gentleman, and it will take time and great patience on Hamptons part if he wishes her to open her heart to him once more.
