Jo Ann Young was born in Sutherlin, Virginia, on a tobacco farm with her three brothers and three sisters. She attended White Stone Holiness Church where her mother became the pastor. In 1962, Jo Ann moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where she later became a member of the Faithful Church of Christ, located at 235 Woodrow Ave., Dorchester, MA 02124. There she remained. Because of the preaching and teaching, Jo Ann grew strong in faith and learned to trust God. In 1966, she married her husband, Allen. They had been married for nineteen years and had six children, ages eight to sixteen years old, when Allen was sent to prison. She was faced with many decisions. First, should she stay in the church, second, should she stay in marriage and third, should she try to raise six children alone? One of her daughters had earlier been diagnosed with lupus, a chronic disease. She had many complications. During one visit with her daughter, Jo Ann didn't like what she saw. She became worried. When she arrived home, she went into her bedroom and knelt down and said, "Lord, my daughter is dying. I know she is." She then heard in her spirit to go to the hospital. She said, "Lord, I am afraid." Then she heard, "Go and I will go with you and I will tell you what to do." Jo Ann obeyed and did as she was instructed. It was not easy for Jo Ann but she stayed in the church, she stayed true to the marriage, she went to work, and raised their children. There were times that she would leave work, go visit her daughter, then go "aboard" what she called the prison bus to visit Allen. During my husband's hospitalization, I was only allowed to visit for ten minutes, not knowing that would be my last time to talk to him. I was not told the seriousness of his illness, so I felt comfortable in sharing with him the diagnosis that I just received from my doctor; who informed me that I had cancer. I told Allen that I had concerns but I would be alright. Allen passed away four days later in December 2012.

Thomas Day

Master Craftsman and Free Man of Color

By: Patricia Phillips Marshall,Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll

Thomas Day (1801-61), a free man of color from Milton, North Carolina, became the most successful cabinetmaker in North Carolina--white or black--during a time when most blacks were enslaved and free blacks were restricted in their movements and activities. His surviving furniture and architectural woodwork still represent the best of nineteenth-century craftsmanship and aesthetics. In this lavishly illustrated book, Patricia Phillips Marshall and Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll show how Day plotted a carefully charted course for success in antebellum southern society. Beginning in the 1820s, he produced fine furniture for leading white citizens and in the 1840s and '50s diversified his offerings to produce newel posts, stair brackets, and distinctive mantels for many of the same clients. As demand for his services increased, the technological improvements Day incorporated into his shop contributed to the complexity of his designs. Day's style, characterized by undulating shapes, fluid lines, and spiraling forms, melded his own unique motifs with popular design forms, resulting in a distinctive interpretation readily identified to his shop. The photographs in the book document furniture in public and private collections and architectural woodwork from private homes not previously associated with Day. The book provides information on more than 160 pieces of furniture and architectural woodwork that Day produced for 80 structures between 1835 and 1861. Through in-depth analysis and generous illustrations, including over 240 photographs (20 in full color) and architectural photography by Tim Buchman, Marshall and Leimenstoll provide a comprehensive perspective on and a new understanding of the powerful sense of aesthetics and design that mark Day's legacy.

The Tree

By: Jo Ann Rothenbush-Thompson

My book is about a clan of fairies coming to America and life seen through fairies. It is gender friendly and I have included African people as they were left out of the fairies for many years. There is much adventure, lessons in life, and fun. Many creatures out in the forest who help the fairies over the years, plus one that is rarely seen. I hope you will enjoy this book. The name of the book is The Tree because that is where the fairies call their home. Many adults have enjoyed reading my stories also. Have fun!

Gender, Crime, and Justice

Learning through Cases

By: Erin Katherine Krafft,Jo-Ann Della Giustina,Susan T. Krumholz

Gender, Crime, and Justice is a unique core textbook that introduces key concepts through case studies. Each chapter opens with a compelling case study that illustrates key concepts, followed by a narrative chapter that builds on the case study to introduce essential elements. Each chapter features pedagogical elements—learning objectives, key terms, review and study questions, and suggestions for further learning and exploration. In addition to the unique case study approach, this book is distinctive in its inclusion of LGBTQ experiences in crime, victimization, processing, and punishment. Gender, Crime, and Justice also addresses masculinity and the role it plays in defining offenders and victims, as well as challenges posed by the gender gap in offending.

Dare to Dream, Joe Shore

A Memoir

By: Jo-Anne Shaw

Born into a dysfunctional family in Oakville, Ontario, in the 1950s, Jo-Anne Shaw was forced to leave home at sixteen to escape her abusive father. A high-school dropout, she would go on to endure two abusive marriages and years of serious depression. When she became a single mother of four, she knew something had to change for her children’s sake. Defying all the odds, Shaw went back to school, got her Master of Social Work, and became a successful psychotherapist. Her past gave her the insight and compassion she needed to help others who suffered abuse and mental health challenges. By channeling her own pain, she could become a beacon of hope for those who were struggling. As a therapist, she could show women in abusive relationships that they could heal, leave their abusive partners, become financially independent, and finally be free. Dare to Dream, Joe Shore demonstrates how harmful patterns can be challenged, disrupted, and replaced with a healthier path to a brighter future. With humour and grace, Shaw tells her inspiring tale of resilience and survival, sharing how she navigated the challenges of those early years and finally attained her academic and career goals and the most elusive goal of all: happiness.

Toward a New Deal in Baltimore

People and Government in the Great Depression

By: Jo Ann E. Argersinger

Jo Ann Argersinger's innovative analysis of the New Deal years in Baltimore establishes the significance of citizen participation and community organization in shaping the welfare programs of the Great Depression. Baltimore, a border city divided by race and openly hostile to unions, the unemployed, and working women, is a particularly valuable locus for gauging the impact of the New Deal. This book examines the interaction of federal, state, and local policies, and documents the partial efforts of the New Deal to reach out to new constituencies. By unraveling the complex connections between government intervention and citizen action, Argersinger offers new insights into the real meaning of the Roosevelt record. She demonstrates how New Deal programs both encouraged and restricted the organized efforts of groups traditionally ignored by major party politics. With federal assistance, Baltimore's blacks, women, unionizing workers, and homeless unemployed attempted to combat local conservatism and make the New Deal more responsive to their needs. Ultimately, citizen activism was as important as federal legislation in determining the contours of the New Deal in Baltimore. Originally published in 1988.

On a New England Christmas morning, Jessica, with their infant son in her arms, crosses the bedroom to greet Christopher. But before she has a chance to reach him, his image seems to fade, and his welcoming smile becomes a look of alarm. He reaches out his hand to her. She thinks she has grasped it.

The Struggle for Public Education

Ten Themes in American Educational History

By: Donald Parkerson,Jo Ann Parkerson

The great pendulum of educational reform recently has begun its inexorable swing toward a new understanding of education. The thirty-year dominance of the authoritarian approach, complete with standardized assessments, distended bureaucracies and school consolidation based on the business model, appears to be over. Capped by the recent departure of the No Child Left behind Act and replaced with a new congressional authorization – the Every Child Achieves Act – we are witnessing a distinct move toward a more democratic model of education. This book places the tension between these two broadly defined archetypes in the context of the central themes of American education. These include the structure and organization of American schools, the struggle for diversity, curriculum and instruction, classroom discipline, moral education, testing and assessment, and the rights and responsibilities of teachers and students. By organizing these themes into a more understandable and relevant thematic context, readers will be able to appreciate the changes in the field of education over the years as well as the cacophonous bickering over education policy - today and yesterday.

Our Hearts Invented a Place

Can Kibbutzim Survive in Today's Israel?

By: Jo-Ann Mort,Gary Brenner

We thought we were living in a society of the future, showing how people can live together in a way that the human being is not a product of society where you have to put somebody down so that you are up.... Suddenly we [find] that people want to be more like outside, and we are disappointed." "When people say to me, 'We're so sorry to see what's going on in the kibbutzim because we are losing the most important thing that happened to the State of Israel,' I say to them, 'Listen....' The government lost interest in the kibbutz movement, and we had to find another way. The State of Israel slowly but surely became a normal state, and the pioneers finished their job. We are living in a new era. We have to make the adjustment."—from Our Hearts Invented a Place One of the grand social experiments of modern time, the Israeli kibbutz is today in a state of flux. Created initially to advance Zionism, support national security, and forge a new socialist, communal model, the kibbutzim no longer serve a clear purpose and are struggling financially. In Our Hearts Invented a Place, Jo-Ann Mort and Gary Brenner describe how life on the kibbutz is changing as members seek to adapt to contemporary realities and prepare themselves for the future. Throughout, the authors allow the members' often-impassioned voices—some disillusioned, some optimistic, some pragmatic—to be heard. "The founders [of the kibbutz] had a dream," an Israeli told the authors in one of many interviews they conducted between 2000 and 2002, "[which] they fulfilled... a hundred times." The current generation, he explains, must alter that dream in order for it to survive. After tracing the formidable challenges facing the kibbutzim today, Mort and Brenner compare three distinct models of change as exemplified by three different communities. The first, Gesher Haziv, decided to pursue privatization. The second, Hatzor, is diversifying its economy while creating an extensive social safety net and a system of private wages with progressive taxation. In the third instance, Gan Shmuel is attempting to hold on to the traditional kibbutz model. In closing, the authors address the new-style urban kibbutz. Their book will provide readers with a deeper understanding of the kibbutz—and of Israel itself—during an era of dramatic social, economic, and political change.

One day, Nathan, Karis half brother, left to care for her and the animals, a task he hates, taunts Kari until she runs away. Traveling much farther than she ever had before, she trips on the muddy path, spraining an ankle. A large wolf, Worg, finds her, changing Karielles life forever. Worg leads Karielle to the hut of the sorceress Gretchen who discovers her gift of magic. Gretchen, also a healer, begins training Kari. She loves learning magical skills, and the use of healing herbs. Kari even heals the twisted legs of a young man of the village. Karielle had never known her real father. His relationship with her mother had been very short. Rolgrin Hawke, a powerful wizard, discovers her and comes to the village where she lives to see if she is his child. Therein lies the adventure. Karielle leaves her tiny villagel, travels to Hawkes Reach, and the castle of her newly found father. Events threaten the land and it is Karielles unique gift of magic that helps save humanity.

Sisters in Arms

Catholic Nuns Through Two Millennia

Leaving Care

Throughcare and Aftercare in Scotland

By: Mike Stein,Jo Dixon

How can social workers and agencies best support young people as they make the transition from care to independent living? This authoritative study investigates the successes and failures of care services for young people, identifying factors that hinder effective transition from care and the types of support that help to promote positive life choices. Analysing current policy and drawing on the findings of past research, the authors explore the experiences of young people leaving the care of three very different Scottish local authorities to demonstrate how support works in practice. They address the impact of throughcare and aftercare services, and argue for a more gradual transition towards independence, combined with more consistent and ongoing support after young people leave care. This book draws on the Scottish context to offer valuable lessons that are important reading for all students and practitioners in the fields of social care and social policy, and other professionals interested in the development of childcare practice.

The Healer's Calling

Women and Medicine in Early New England

By: Rebecca Jo Tannenbaum

Rebecca J. Tannenbaum points out that housewives provided much of the medical care available in the seventeenth century. Elite women cared for the indigent in their towns and used medical practice to make influential connections with powerful men; "doctresses" or "doctor women," supported themselves with their practices and competed directly with male physicians; and midwives were crucial "expert witnesses" in cases of fornication, murder, and witchcraft. Yet there were limits to the authority of women's healing communities, with consequences for those who overstepped the bounds."--Cover.

Indigenous Storywork

Educating the Heart, Mind, Body, and Spirit

By: Jo-Ann Archibald

Indigenous oral narratives are an important source for, and component of, Coast Salish knowledge systems. Stories are not only to be recounted and passed down; they are also intended as tools for teaching. Jo-ann Archibald worked closely with Elders and storytellers, who shared both traditional and personal life-experience stories, in order to develop ways of bringing storytelling into educational contexts. Indigenous Storywork is the result of this research and it demonstrates how stories have the power to educate and heal the heart, mind, body, and spirit. It builds on the seven principles of respect, responsibility, reciprocity, reverence, holism, interrelatedness, and synergy that form a framework for understanding the characteristics of stories, appreciating the process of storytelling, establishing a receptive learning context, and engaging in holistic meaning-making.

Campaigning for Children

Strategies for Advancing Children's Rights

By: Jo Becker

Advocates within the growing field of children's rights have designed dynamic campaigns to protect and promote children's rights. This expanding body of international law and jurisprudence, however, lacks a core text that provides an up-to-date look at current children's rights issues, the evolution of children's rights law, and the efficacy of efforts to protect children. Campaigning for Children focuses on contemporary children's rights, identifying the range of abuses that affect children today, including early marriage, female genital mutilation, child labor, child sex tourism, corporal punishment, the impact of armed conflict, and access to education. Jo Becker traces the last 25 years of the children's rights movement, including the evolution of international laws and standards to protect children from abuse and exploitation. From a practitioner's perspective, Becker provides readers with careful case studies of the organizations and campaigns that are making a difference in the lives of children, and the relevant strategies that have been successful—or not. By presenting a variety of approaches to deal with each issue, this book carefully teases out broader lessons for effective social change in the field of children's rights.

Ten Days That Shook the World of Education

A Close Look at the People Who Facilitated Educational Change

By: Donald Parkerson,Jo Ann Parkerson

Ten Days that Shook the World of Education: A Close Look at the People who Facilitated Educational Change focuses on the critical moments that changed the course of our unique educational experiment. These important incidents reveal how everyday people such as Jean Jacque Rousseau, Joseph Lancaster, Emma Willard, Horace Mann, William McGuffey, John Dewey, W.E.B. DuBois, Horace Mann Bond, Thurgood Marshall, and the kids at Parkland High School did extraordinary things and took a stand against injustice to change educational history. By centering our attention on individuals who faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles and then acted to challenge them, we offer a more personal perspective on what has been called the greatest social experiment of man.
