Draper pieces together the shards of family circumstances and critical life events, so often swept under the rug of family shame or neglect. The Witness explores this unfamiliar dimension of the justice system, taking the audience on a journey to discover: What creates a killer?
Your Child Is Smarter Than You Think! bridges the gap between how children think and learn and how they feel and behave. Dr. Wanda Draper discusses a whole-child approach to articulate the child’s development and its relationship to behavior and learning from infancy through adolescence. Based on thirty years of experience with thousands of children of all ages, and their parents and teachers, she suggests simple yet powerful ways to help children achieve success in school and life. She says, “You can’t send the head to school and leave the body at home—the whole child goes to school, the whole child lives at home, and the whole child participates in the world.” Through a down-to-earth approach, Dr. Draper offers insights about how to tell the difference between natural behavior and a real problem—and what to do about it. She gives a lively explanation of how children think and act in relation to how they feel. Your Child Is Smarter Than You Think! focuses, at each stage and pathway of development, on suggestions for how to successfully: live and work with a smart child help without interfering activate the learning loop communicate to get results “Parents and professionals are often confronted by the challenges of children because they are smarter than we think.”-Dr. Wanda Draper Wanda Draper, PhD, professor emeritus of the College of Medicine, University of Oklahoma, testifies about the relationship between childhood development and adulthood consequences as an expert witness in capital death-penalty trials.

The Witness brings a new dimension to true crime literature. CSI has rolled-up the tape but the investigation isn't over. Detectives cool their heels from pounding the pavement, but the interviews have just started. The crime is solved. The suspects - charged and booked - are left to contemplate their fate. However, one question remains: What is justice?In the second stage of the trial, the jury is charged with the task of deciding a just and adequate penalty. Instructed to put aside their own experiences and put on the defendant's shoes, they must arrive at an impartial decision based on the facts. Draper, piecing together shards of personal circumstances and life often swept under the rug of family shame or neglect, leads them through the defendant's LifePath, from his birth to this murderous act. She reveals how the past casts a grave shadow over one's future.

The country is under attack by a new kind of terrorist group with technology that makes them nearly impervious to conventional weapons. In desperation, the United States government must explore unconventional and perhaps even crazy avenues to defeat these terrorists. Four individuals with actual magical abilities that they themselves didn't even know about soon find themselves recruited for a secret and last-ditch effort to save everything. Thirteen-year-old Chester Thomas is one of these individuals and although the situation seems like that of a dream come true, he quickly realizes he is way over his head.Boundaries will be pushed, limits will be tested, lines will be crossed, and worlds will collide just as the magic of the modern world comes to life. Could Chester's discovery of magic wands found in his father's sock drawer hold the keys to make this foursome a fantastic military secret? Or is their magic meant for a Las Vegas stage show?
