Book excerpt: One night changed them both forever. … As Zoe and Matt tussle over the best use of a billionaire’s bequest, a deeper question looms: Will one night stand in the way of their spending the rest of their days together? Six years ago, rodeo cowboy Matt Halderman looked at himself and didn’t like what he saw. Especially not after he ran out on that spunky, wide-eyed student he’d just met. He didn’t run far, falling into conversation with a stranger in the pre-dawn stillness of a Wyoming truck stop. That conversation – along with seed money that mysteriously arrived just when he needed it – turned the course of Matt’s life. Now he’s received a letter announcing that the stranger he’d met in that diner had been billionaire Harold Hopewell. Hopewell had traveled the world, encountering people and letting their stories touch him. In death, he is giving back, leaving an unusual will filled with life-altering bequests to the people he met along the way. It turns out the recently departed billionaire isn’t done changing Matt’s life. This time with an inheritance that will allow Matt to go home to do something he’s long dreamed of – caring for rodeo horses at the end of their lives. Zoe Parisi hasn’t forgotten Matt or the night he walked out on her. Couldn’t even be called a one-night stand, since the man hadn’t stuck around for the whole night. She lost her head that night, but it’s been squarely back on her shoulders ever since. She’s a doctor now and is on track to take over an established practice in Knighton, Wyoming, the much-loved hometown of her grandparents. She’d been sure when she decided to settle in Knighton that Matt would never return to the ranch where he grew up. But now, here he comes, waltzing back into town … looking just as good as ever and with a bunch of money. Zoe wants nothing to do with Matt or his good looks … but his money’s a whole different matter. What does he need with this inheritance when he already has so much? She, on the other hand, knows exactly how to use those funds to make desperately needed improvements to medical care for all the people around Knighton.

Download or read book Confessions of a Professor written by Dr. Thom Gilliam Ph.D. and published by Dr. Thom Gilliam, Ph.D. This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has our higher education system become so corrupt and unsustainable while undermining our freedom behind closed doors? Imagine sending your conservative daughter off to your state’s flagship university. After six long years, not the four years you expected, she returns home with a bachelor’s degree in one of the “studies.” She returns home to live because she can’t find employment sufficient to support herself. As heartbreaking as that is, you soon discover she is now a socialist, hates America, and blames men for a patriarchal society she believes ruined her life. She left home full of love but returned filled with hate. Unfortunately, that is not imaginary, and there is no place to turn. Our 4,000 independent universities act as one, and their 1.5 million professors hold homogenous views. This single-mindedness has eliminated free speech and critical thinking by students and faculty alike. Confessions of a Professor provides an insider’s in-depth analysis of our universities’ destructive actions in three broad areas. First, it details their failure to educate students to contribute to society. Second, it exposes academia’s politicized research that helps form government policy. Finally, it documents academia’s actions to undermine us at home and betray us abroad. Beyond those issues, it explains academic research in an easily understood manner. It shows how academic studies align with the new Socialist-Democrat party and drive regulations that control our lives. As bad as their politicized science is and their students’ experiences can be, this book also exposes the extent of racism in the name of diversity. Similarly, it reveals how the war on men has led to 50% more women attending universities and much worse. But even if all these issues were rectified, academia’s traitorous relationship with China is enough alone to condemn the institution. As this book shows, we cannot maintain an advanced society without a higher education system, but ours is failing America and actively undermining us internationally. The author provides over 500 references to support these findings.
