Book excerpt: Twenty-two students of Winston Elementary School are being held hostage. The gunmen are demanding the release of ISIS leaders held in Iraq. A rescue attempt by the FBI could get the children killed. Altaf Khan, a 48-year-old Pakistani American, may be able to help them infiltrate the terrorists’ network. However, one of the captors is his son, Zain. Azalea Heights is a clash-of-cultures story of a diverse cast of characters wanting to make a fresh start. Naina is recently divorced and is learning to live alone. Rohan is a small-time restaurateur with big dreams. Altaf, a proud American citizen, is struggling with the radicalization of his teenage son. Gerard is a retired Iraq veteran fighting with his inner demons and legacy of the war. When they move to a new development called Azalea Heights, their paths inevitably cross and result in a chain of events that upend their lives. Azalea Heights captures the escalating tensions within the neighborhood, but also recognizes the American spirit, when people with disparate ideologies, beliefs, and politics come together in a moment of crisis. Azalea Heights deals with multiple layers of racism in American society. It delves into the protagonists’ psyches, their hopes, fears, and biases, the shocking secrets they keep, and the terrible choices they make. In the end, it boils down to a single principle: doing the right thing, regardless of consequences. Fans of Little Fires Everywhere, An American Marriage, and There There will enjoy this riveting tale of intercultural conflict in these unsettling times when prejudices have come to be accepted as normal.

Students in Dr. Leider's historic preservation course at Oklahoma State University (OSU) conducted an inventory and analysis of these sites and, over a 25-year period, selected and completed 18 case studies as measured and interpreted drawings, including Villa Philbrook, 101 Ranch, Oklahoma Civic Center, and Utica Square in Tulsa. All of the case studies have been recorded with the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) of the US National Park Service and placed in the US Library of Congress as well as being presented in this book.

Book excerpt: In 1670, the English ship Carolina brought colonists to the west bank of the Ashley River. These settlers and their descendants built a flourishing plantation life in what became St. Andrew's Parish. The Civil War devastated the plantation society, and the glory years of St. Andrew's Parish waned until 1889, when construction of a new toll bridge improved access to West Ashley. A suburban boom that began in the 1920s expanded and revitalized the community. Many of the original families who built homes, churches, schools, and businesses still live in the community today--a testament to the continued vitality and livability of St. Andrew's Parish, West Ashley.

Download or read book Out of the Chute in Azalea Heights written by Jan Doke and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In language reminiscent of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and COLD SASSY TREE, ten-year old Jen Crocker chronicles such wild escapades as shoot-outs and lock-ups at the Shelby County Courthouse, a brief foray into fountain-pen thievery at Green's Drugstore, and the execution of an Olympic-quality swan-dive...in her Easter dress. Lurking as a backdrop to her adventures are such antagonistic forces as her sister's Eddie Haskel-type boyfriend and Mrs. Gravitts, her teacher, whose daunting paddle frenzies and ever-chomping false teeth extract from Jen both her worst and her best. By the beginning of sixth grade it looks as if she might just manage to stay out of jail, thanks to the Great Whisperer's employment of an unlikely new best friend, a merciful county judge, a wise old aunt, and her aggravatingly saintly but unswervingly faithful big sister, Julie.
