Adrienne prides herself for being smart, prim and proper. She doesn't go against the rules of society and refuse to even take a shot of Tequila. In other words: Conservative. Boring.Instead of having fun and letting her spirit run free, she spent almost all her life trying to gain her mother's approval, measuring up to her sister's greatness, and proving herself worthy of her boyfriend's love and attention. She's been lying to everybody, including herself, about who she really was.But no matter what she does, she just can't seem to live up to their expectations. And then she got fed up and decided to let loose. For just one night. She left her eyeglasses, flat shoes, long skirt and knitted sweater behind. In high heels and a dress that accented her long legs and curves, she went to a club by herself and decided to find out what it was like to have a good time.Her night couldn't even be more perfect when Justin Adams, the city's most sought after bachelor, a.k.a. most notorious playboy fell prey to the charms she didn't even know she possessed. Justin was every girl's dream boat, but he never committed to a woman. He didn't date and didn't do relationships. So, Adrienne thought after that night, she didn't have to deal with him again. He would forget about her and her secret night of fun was safe with him.But what she did not expect was that Justin wasn't about to let her go that easily. And what was supposed to be just a one-night stand with the City's most wanted playboy, became a full-blown secret affair. In the eyes of her friends and family, she had a boyfriend named Troy. But within the walls of her bedroom, she belonged to Justin.However, her new-found bliss would be threatened by the secrets that Justin keeps and the past that her parents kept from her.Soon, she will find out that she's been living her life with all the right intentions... but for all the wrong reasons.

Great discussion book for book clubs, homeless and abuse centers, psychology classes, and religious studies. Meggin, Annie, Janet, Clyde, Sherrie, Gloria, Gerrie, Duane, Zach and even THE MAN.such intense characters! Peggy Fisher-Lorenzs book, takes the reader inside the lives and deeply inside the minds and hearts of these very real characters as they are involved in their very real struggle to find love, acceptance, and purpose in their lives. Each character finds their own way to take control of their life and fight the panic of being out of control. For someone who has only experienced Meggins world from the outside looking in, this story can be a real eye-openera guide to catch clues to behaviors which might otherwise be overlooked completely. Ms. Fisher-Lorenz has written a story which will keep her readers involved to the very end. What profound mysteries lie buried in the hearts of people! Theresa McGahan Business owner/editor Following the various characters through their mental and emotional machinations was entertaining and enlightening, and at the same time, appropriately saddening. There is nothing worse to me than abuse, and this book highlights many of its heinous effects, especially the insecurities, uncertainties, pathos, and anger that accompany this dastardly blow to all too many peoples lives. All the characters in this book are cogently described. The defense mechanisms, such a denial, rationalization, projection, and intellectualization were all present and clear. Impulsivity was particularly of note. Yet, at the same time, the book resonated with people being resilient and adaptable. These were notable case studies without therapeutic involvement. I would recommend the book to anyone interested in the psychology of abuse described in real-life terms. I obviously endorse the book as a basic description of lifes complications. I am not doing so in my role as a psychology professor. But as a person who cares about abuse and its consequences. Thus, I would recommend the book to any individual who wants to become more aware of abuse, and its effects, especially in terms of those who address and sometimes overcome it. R. Peter Johnson, PhD

After a brief biography of Rousseau and his influence on educational methods, chapters explore the progressive education movement in the 19th century, effects of the Romantic movement, and concepts of citizenship that led to the American and French revolutions.

George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
