Harry Chapman, a troubled "tween," is swept up in the swirl of her parents' nasty divorce, her dad's recovery from alcoholism, and the mounting pressure of her new life in near poverty. She seeks solace in her dream of owning a magnificent dog. She finds a dog suffering from hideous abuse by a criminal lunatic. Her pleas for help are ignored by her parents, her teachers and even her teammates on her diverse and superb soccer team, the Redhawks. Harry, struggling with her own deep fears, is pushed beyond her limits. She piles mistake on top of mistake, lie on top of lie, as she stumbles toward her dream. She is punished by her Mom for her serious mistakes and shocked when her dire predictions are so wrong. Severely depressed and confused by her torturous thoughts, Harry makes the "best worst mistake of her life." Does it lead to justice and joy or to deadly peril? Is pursuing her dream along the not-so-lonesome highway the right thing, or is it just illegal and selfish? In a wild adventure, Harry learns the hard way to be careful what she wishes for. Harry, her best friend Glenda, and her teammates-Rory, Magda, Peter, Jorge, Keysha and Bu-must call on all of their athletic skills and dig deep to find new strength to try to save Booper from a horrible death. Can these intrepid Redhawks drive the evildoer to his knees? Can they prevail despite the rude surprise that their best intentions have paved a road of painful consequences? Can true justice prevail despite the baffling laws that seem to reward evil and punish good?

In this thrilling new adventure series, Booper and Harry, a mighty duo, must rely on their own daring and the courage of the Redhawks, her relentless soccer team, if they are to triumph over evil. Or the wickedness will overwhelm their town in a relentless tide of destruction.These tides sweeping through their hometown? Animal abuse. Child abuse. Drug epidemics. Gangs. Addiction. Bigotry. Suicide. Mental illness. Corruption. Terrorism. Intolerance and injustice. Why do these these global perils plague Harry and Booper, her gentle warrior dog, in a small town far from any major city? Can Harry overcome her own family's dysfunctions and triumph over the evil infesting her hometown? This series explores the damage and the danger these modern epidemics inflict on the Redhawks and their friends and families.

Since 2007, security has improved dramatically in Iraq. The U.S. and Iraqi governments - and most Iraqis - want to see both the U.S. presence there reduced and the Iraqi government and security forces assuming a greater role in providing for public security. The challenge is to effect this drawdown while preserving security and stability in the country and in the region. In response to tasking from the U.S. Congress, RAND researchers conducted an independent study to examine drawdown schedules, risks, and mitigating strategies. They identified logistical constraints on moving equipment out of the country, assessed trends in insurgent activity and the ability of Iraqi security forces to counter it, and examined the implications for the size of the residual U.S. force and for security in Iraq and the region. This book presents alternative drawdown schedules - one consistent with the Obama administration's stated intentions and two others, one somewhat slower and another faster - that are responsive to these factors.It also recommends steps that the United States can take to alleviate anticipated constraints, overcome likely resistance, and reduce the potential risks associated with a drawdown. For more than 60 years, decisionmakers in the public and private sectors have turned to the RAND Corporation for objective analysis and effective solutions that address the challenges facing the nation and the world.

Broadway Goes to War

Broadway Goes to War

The American theater was not ignorant of the developments brought on by World War II, and actively addressed and debated timely, controversial topics for the duration of the war, including neutrality and isolationism, racism and genocide, and heroism and battle fatigue. Productions such as Watch on the Rhine (1941), The Moon is Down (1942), Tomorrow the World (1943), and A Bell for Adano (1944) encouraged public discussion of the war's impact on daily life and raised critical questions about the conflict well before other forms of popular media. American drama of the 1940s is frequently overlooked, but the plays performed during this eventful decade provide a picture of the rich and complex experience of living in the United States during the war years. McLaughlin and Parry's work fills a significant gap in the history of theater and popular culture, showing that American society was more divided and less idealistic than the received histories of the WWII home front and the entertainment industry recognize.

We'll Always Have the Movies

During the highly charged years of World War II, movies perhaps best communicated to Americans who they were and why they were fighting. These films were more than just an explanation of historical events: they asked audiences to consider the Nazi threat, they put a face on both our enemies and allies, and they explored changing wartime gender roles. We'll Always Have the Movies shows how film after film repeated the narratives, character types, and rhetoric that made the war and each American's role in it comprehensible. Robert L. McLaughlin and Sally E. Parry have watched more than six-hundred films made between 1937 and 1946 -- including many never before discussed in this context -- and have analyzed the cultural and historical importance of these films in explaining the war to moviegoers. This extensive study shows how filmmakers made the chaotic elements of wartime familiar, while actual events became film history, and film history became myth.

In his book, FOOTPRINTS: Raising Godly Children, Robert L. Hoover Jr. exposes a lack of godly parenting in America today. His straight forward approach to expressing timeless truths taught in the Bible about parental involvement, discipline and making children accountable are unparalleled in today's society. In today's world and unfortunately, even in the church world, common sense and Biblical correctness is woefully absent in far too many homes. Mr. Hoover has taken his many years of experience in the ministry, combined with his experiences in the business world and now in the public school system to weave what will be to many, a provocative and head scratching account of what it means to be a good dad by Biblical standards. Frankly, the words of this book are against the grain and counter-cultural to all that seems normal by todays standards of parenting and raising godly children. Mr. Hoover digs into the Scripture to look at good dads of the Bible and bad dads. Some will surprise the reader. As the contemporary measuring stick Mr. Hoover uses his own dad, Robert L. Hoover Sr. as the example; and what a measuring stick it is indeed All three of Mr. Hoover Sr.'s children not only are Spirit filled Christians, but they are all in ministry. All twelve of the grandchildren are also Spirit filled Christians with several feeling the call into full time ministry. Mr. Hoover also spins humor and light comedy in his writing as he describes what it was like living in his dads home as a child. Some of the stories will amuse, and entertain you while others will bring a tear or two to your eye. But the bottom line is, that there has never been a time in American History where dads are so badly needed and sadly are too often missing or are not fulfilling their duties. The male reader, if he takes the words of these pages as a standard, will become a better dad. The ladies who read will obviously become better moms and wives and the children who read here will learn to strive to be better mom's and dad's as they approach their adult years.
