Download or read book When Loyalty Becomes Betrayal written by Shelly Gisele and published by ShellyGiselePublishingLLC. This book was released on 2020-01-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KADEN is a retired drug dealer and former kingpin of the streets of Miami, Florida. He had created a legacy based on power, respect, wealth, and branding his name. Today, he’s the owner of a strip club, having left the world of drugs behind. Before stepping down from his throne, Kaden taught his younger cousin, Jordan, the game before ultimately allowing him to take over his kingdom. The two men, however, were polar opposites. Jordan was younger and more reckless, a treacherous guy with a ruthless streak. Kaden was much calmer, wiser and level-headed in the way he went around his business. Jordan‘s greatest flaw was failing to change his mentality and adapt to the role of being a boss. Instead, he remained rooted in the same hood mentality of a small-time player. Rather than being respected on the streets, he made enemies of some serious players. Kaden’s future, and that of his marriage, had become threatened both by Jordan’s out-of-control behavior and his own infidelities. Could he really start over and build a new life, leaving his past behind, or is the life he had lived destined to catch up with him and destroy everything? So much hangs in the balance as a brutal turf war heats up on the mean streets, where the one certainty is that only the strong and street-smart will survive.

Download or read book Teaching Young Adult Literature Today written by Judith A. Hayn and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Young Adult Literature Today introduces the reader to what is current and relevant in the plethora of good books available for adolescents. More importantly, literary experts illustrate how teachers everywhere can help their students become lifelong readers by simply introducing them to great reads—smart, insightful, and engaging books that are specifically written for adolescents. Hayn, Kaplan, and their contributors address a wide range of topics: how to avoid common obstacles to using YAL; selecting quality YAL for classrooms while balancing these with curriculum requirements; engaging disenfranchised readers; pairing YAL with technology as an innovative way to teach curriculum standards across all content areas. Contributors also discuss more theoretical subjects, such as the absence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young adult literature in secondary classrooms; and contemporary YAL that responds to the changing expectations of digital generation readers who want to blur the boundaries between page and screen. This book has been updated to reflect the wealth of new YA literature that has been published since the first edition appeared in March 2012, and to reflect new trends in technology that influences how adolescents are reading and responding to literature.

Book excerpt: A big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now. As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay -- with officer Nestor Camacho on board -- Tom Wolfe is off and running. Into the feverous landscape of the city, he introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his Latina nurse by day, loin lock by night-until lately, the love of Nestor's life; a refined, and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting, black-gang-banger-stylin' little brother; a billionaire porn addict, crack dealers in the 'hoods, "de-skilled" conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair, "spectators" at the annual Biscayne Bay regatta looking only for that night's orgy, yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an "Active Adult" condo, and a nest of shady Russians. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous bestselling novels, Back to Blood is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times.
