The Fault at the Center is a candid, lyrical coming-of-age novel that tells the story of Sandy Fischer, an American girl growing up in the beautiful yet violence-ridden Guatemala of the 1960s and ‘70s. Sandy, a resilient and very observant girl, must face the many dilemmas emerging from the disintegration of her Jewish-Catholic home. Suddenly abandoned by their father and left to fend for themselves, the four Fischer girls and their mother no longer have a safe and clear place in their adopted homeland. While still perceived as expatriates, as gringas, the Fischers must do their best to find their way in local society. Little by little, Sandy finds herself adapting to the prim, Catholic, seemingly safe world of señoritas. But what is the price, particularly for a girl growing into womanhood, of belonging in such a rigid and fearful world--of forcing oneself not to fully register the violence that is steadily intensifying in the country? And given a choice, will Sandy leave her adopted homeland or stay? The Fault at the Center is, at the same time, an invention and a memoir, a reflection upon the narrator’s own distant/near relationship with her Guatemalan past.
This book is about personal transformation caused by undesirable changes in our health, employment, finances, relationships or other personal areas. We will show how personal transformations can occur through magic, miracles and quantum mechanics. Magic is real if you believe in it and through magic miracles are caused to happen and through miracles we can understand the workings of quantum mechanics. Follow us as we journey through the magic found in the Native American pathway that is called the Red Road. Explore the magic of pagan witchcraft and how it connects to early Christianity. The Dead Sea Scrolls reveals the ancient Language of Prayer and how it is interwoven into magical rituals and parallel dimensions.

Mississippi Middle School Anthology is a collection of students’ writings completed during the 2001-2002 school year at Horn Lake Middle School, Horn Lake, Mississippi. Eighty-three eighth grade English students, a number from Hispanic and African-American backgrounds, were given the opportunity to submit poems, short stories, and personal essays for publication. The teacher and editor, Mrs. Sharon Hall, M. S. Ed, selected the best of these and, after, proofreading and editing and arranging them by genre, sent them to a publisher. The project turned out to be a unique learning experience for both the students and their teacher. Obviously, the finished book will be of great interest to school libraries, teachers, college students enrolled in teacher education programs, middle schoolers the world over, and child psychologists. And because Sharon Hall is convinced that MMS Anthology is a creative teaching device for all levels, she has this to say to other educators: "It is very important for students to see their work displayed in some attractive way, and those teachers who require their students to turn in written work would do well to consider this quite inexpensive motivational device. For specific information on how to publish student anthologies, send an email to me at [email protected]."
