Celia Middleton sacrificed nearly everything to become the wealthy matriarch of her family and the proud owner of Whispering Pines. After everything she’s been through, does she have the strength to hold on to it all? Celia overcame rampant discrimination by proving herself, time and again, to build the unique life she envisioned. Now retirement will bring her the freedom to finally relax and have fun at Whispering Pines again . . . unless haunting memories threaten that dream, too. Old friends know best, so when Ruby suggests it’s time for Celia to walk away from Whispering Pines, she’s afraid the woman might be right. She used to fantasize about seeing the world. Should she let the resort go and travel instead, while she’s still young enough to enjoy it? Every choice comes with a cost. Celia will have to fight to keep her heart open through the hurt and loss that comes with aging. She may grow old alone, but she refuses to be lonely. She’s learned valuable lessons along the way, and her family needs her hard-earned wisdom more than ever. Can she help her precious nieces and nephew—Renee, Jess, Ethan, and Val—avoid the regrets that tarnish her golden years?

Celia's Gifts: Family Drama, Midlife Women's Fiction

By: Kimberly Diede

Before becoming a wealthy matriarch and the proud owner of Whispering Pines, Celia Middleton faced the challenge of a lifetime—saving her family. Kimberly Diede’s heartwarming series, Gift of Whispering Pines, began with this amazing woman’s legacy. Now it’s time to discover the secrets behind her success. Intent on escaping the far-off echoes of World War II, Celia tags along to her friend’s small lake resort, Whispering Pines. She’ll soon realize the quaint family getaway is the perfect place to spend the hot, humid days of a Minnesota summer. One glorious month of sun-drenched days and starlit nights will never be enough. The tranquil environment is a balm for Celia’s anxious heart. Troubles back home fade away. Here, she can be herself, even if she doesn’t quite fit in. Her friends are focused on nabbing the perfect husband, but Celia has other plans. Her own father left them destitute, and she’s vowed to never wind up like her poor mother. Celia’s steely resolve softens as she twirls across a crowded dance floor in the arms of a man she barely knows. She’s intrigued—tempted, even. But when tragedy shatters the serenity she’s found at Whispering Pines, she faces an agonizing decision. Can Celia hold tight to her vision and battle through crushing discrimination to build the career and financial independence she so desperately seeks? Even if she manages to protect her family, how can she save Whispering Pines, too? Travel back to an earlier era in Celia’s Gifts where Kimberly Diede introduces you to a loyal, ambitious young Celia in this sixth book in her uplifting series. Immerse yourself in the making of an incredible woman. Will societal expectations and unthinkable loss destroy Celia, or will she emerge stronger than ever? If you enjoy books by Fiona Baker, Hope Halloway, or Julia Clemens then give yourself the gift of this series. The Gift of Whispering Pines Series Escape to Whispering Pines with this unforgettable family. They’ll come together to heal and thrive, despite the inevitable wounds that life delivers.

Simple Treatments for Complex Problems

A Flexible Cognitive Behavior Analysis System Approach To Psychotherapy

By: Kimberly A. Driscoll,Kelly C. Cukrowicz,Maureen Lyons Reardon,Thomas E. Joiner Jr.,Thomas E. Joiner

The Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) is a set of techniques that has proven to be efficacious in the treatment of chronic depression. This book describes ways in which it can be extended in the treatment of patients with a wide variety of psychological disorders and difficulties, in a wide variety of settings. Vivid case illustrations and session transcripts illuminate the authors' presentation of appropriate modifications and implementations of the basic approach for personality and anxiety disorders, behavior problems in children, couples distress, and anger. The approach is flexible, efficient, and simple to train. One chapter focuses on methods for helping parents to help their own children more effectively. CBASP has been shown to work both for patients with severe psychological symptoms and for those with more common everyday problems; both for those who are psychologically sophisticated and for those who are not. Simple Treatments for Complex Problems offers powerful new tools for the clinical armamentarium of mental health professionals who do psychotherapy, and the conceptual armamentarium of those who train them and study treatment effectiveness.

Video-Based Action Research

A Guide to Incorporating Video Analysis Into Reflective Practice for Teacher Development

By: Kimberly Lebak

This book introduces the use of video analysis into the popular educational research model of action research. Video analysis has become increasingly common in teacher development for reflective practice, as well as within the teacher certification process as an assessment tool. Kimberly Lebak builds on this use of video with a model that integrates the opportunities afforded by action research and video analysis for meaningful teacher development. Her "how-to" guide brings the theoretical and practical together to show teachers how video can be a concrete artifact for unpacking and reflecting on the complexities inherent in educational contexts. Chapter content helps readers bridge the gap between research and practice. Examples of tools that can be used for getting started with video-based action research are embedded in the chapters, including planning tools to help pinpoint opportunities for using video to identify a meaningful research topic and develop a data collection plan and action plan; and reflective tools for viewing the videos from multiple perspectives. Teacher vignettes further cement the applicability of the video-based action research model. This book is ideal for use by teachers at all stages of their careers, including pre-service teachers just embarking on their careers and in-service teachers looking to examine and improve their practices along with the learning of their students. It will have an additional benefit in teacher education programs as well as in undergraduate- or graduate-level action research courses by academic researchers and teacher educators.

Performing Democracy in Iraq and South Africa

Gender, Media, and Resistance

By: Kimberly Wedeven Segall

Reflecting twenty years of research and experience—after working with guerrilla fighters in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, with Iranian refugees in Istanbul, with interreligious reconciliation groups in Morocco, and with former political prisoners in South Africa—Segall offers a groundbreaking study of globalization, gender, and resistance in public spaces. With timely correctives to the media lens of the Arab and African Spring, the author views protest not just as an economic and political act but also as a potential space of healing and creativity amidst contentious and gendered territories. Analyzing blogs, graphic novels, performances, and public testimonials, this book is unique in its attention to local expressions and creative use of technology to speak of political identities. With its impressive range of generational and gendered voices, Performing Democracy suggests hybrid protests that are voicing trauma, seeking change.

Studio Thinking 3

The Real Benefits of Visual Arts Education

By: Kimberly M. Sheridan,Shirley Veenema,Ellen Winner,Lois Hetland

Studio Thinking 3 is a new edition of a now-classic text, a research-based account of teaching and learning in high school studio arts classes. It poses a framework that identifies eight habits of mind taught in visual arts and four studio structures by which they are taught. This edition includes new material about how the framework has been used since the original study, with new perspectives from artist-teachers who currently apply the Studio Thinking Framework in their own practice. It also reviews how contemporary organizations, educators, and researchers outside the arts have utilized the framework, highlighting its flexibility to inform teaching and learning. The authors have added a new chapter on assessment to introduce the practical and thoughtful ways that teachers are using Studio Thinking to assess and evaluate students’ work, working processes, and thinking in the arts. Praise for Previous Editions of Studio Thinking― “Winner and Hetland have set out to show what it means to take education in the arts seriously, in its own right.” —The New York Times “This book is very educational and would be helpful to art teachers in promoting quality teaching in their classrooms.” —School Arts Magazine “Studio Thinking is a major contribution to the field.” —Arts & Learning Review “The research in Studio Thinking is groundbreaking and important because it is anchored in the actual practice of teaching artists …The ideas in Studio Thinking continue to provide a vehicle with which to navigate and understand the complex work in which we are all engaged.” —Teaching Artists Journal

Shenandoah Valley and Amador Wine Country

By: Kimberly Wooten,R. Scott Baxter

The grape has been grown and fermented into wine in the foothills of Amador County since the first days of the Gold Rush. While many dreamed of overnight riches in the gold fields, others saw wealth in the regions red soils and Mediterranean climate, patiently planting gardens and orchards, wheat, and vine. These vines, some of the oldest zinfandel in California, have produced distinctive wines in a viticultural tradition that has survived the ravages of mining, disease, and Prohibition. After Prohibition, the region slipped into quiet jug production until its rediscovery in the 1960s. While the Shenandoah Valley is undeniably the heart of Amadors winemaking region today, vineyards flourished historically from Sutter Creek to Fiddletown, from Jackson to Ione, and tasting rooms are open countywide.

Courting Change

Queer Parents, Judges, and the Transformation of American Family Law

By: Kimberly D. Richman

Winner of the 2010 Pacific Sociological Association Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Award A lesbian couple rears a child together and, after the biological mother dies, the surviving partner loses custody to the child’s estranged biological father. Four days later, in a different court, judges rule on the side of the partner, because they feel the child relied on the woman as a “psychological parent.” What accounts for this inconsistency regarding gay and lesbian adoption and custody cases, and why has family law failed to address them in a comprehensive manner? In Courting Change, Kimberly D. Richman zeros in on the nebulous realm of family law, one of the most indeterminate and discretionary areas of American law. She focuses on judicial decisions—both the outcomes and the rationales—and what they say about family, rights, sexual orientation, and who qualifies as a parent. Richman challenges prevailing notions that gay and lesbian parents and families are hurt by laws’ indeterminacy, arguing that, because family law is so loosely defined, it allows for the flexibility needed to respond to—and even facilitate — changes in how we conceive of family, parenting, and the role of sexual orientation in family law. Drawing on every recorded judicial decision in gay and lesbian adoption and custody cases over the last fifty years, and on interviews with parents, lawyers, and judges, Richman demonstrates how parental and sexual identities are formed and interpreted in law, and how gay and lesbian parents can harness indeterminacy to transform family law.

Trapped Off

By: Kimberly Thompson

It was a typical fresh crisp Monday morning on February 5, 1998, after doing my routinely five-mile run, as I rushed into Starbucks, for my favorite cappuccino, topped with whip cream is a reward to myself, besides I just ran five miles, working off the calories before they are put on. Approaching the exit of Starbucks, glancing over to my right, from my peripheral view, noticing a black Bugatti emerging the store parking lot, watching his suicide doors opening, getting out is a tall, handsome, smooth chocolate, entrepreneur. Shockingly stuck in my path, eyeballing him as he enters the shop, swiftly walking by me, reeking the scent of My Burberry black cologne, as it dances into my nostril, straight to my sinus cavities, puts me in a trance, snapping back into reality with the ringing of my phone, noticing it was my girl, my A1 since day 1, Meme. Beginning to walk out the door, Excitedly, she screams, GIRLFRIEND! we got an invitation to a Ballers Valentine Day party in New York City, therefore we got some shopping to do! Ok, I agree, but girl its 6 o’clock in the am, it’s too early for you to be making plans for us to get into something. She says that’s why I’m telling you ahead of time, that’s why it’s called pre-plan hunni! Alright, bet we need a vacation anyway.
