Gina Angelo was neither suave nor sophisticated, but she was the epitome of the American way of life that has produced so many originals. When she rode her brother's Harley for the first time, she found her calling and never looked back. Gina then became a pacesetter by organizing the "Witches on Wheels," the first women's Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Club in 1950s Detroit. From truck stop waitress to carnival stripper, to Hollywood star, Gina lived life on her own terms. It is unlikely that America will ever witness an equal to the 1950s biker queen who became a legend in her own time. Note: THIS IS NOT a romance novel and was never meant to be included in that category.

Jackie has used these strategies successfully with all her students she taught, kids in grades four through seven, for the lowest scoring kids in her school, and for gifted students. She even used the Paideia Seminar at the community college where she taught.
