Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Author Dr. Gloria Bonilla-Santiago, a Puerto Rican child of migrant farm workers, defied family, tradition, and expectations to reach the highest ranks of academia and overcome monumental obstacles to create LEAP Academy, one of the nation's best charter schools. In this book, she shares the challenges and obstacles, potential resources, and support of fellow professionals that moved LEAP Academy from a small charter school in 1997 to its top position today. She describes and analyzes the establishment and accomplishments of LEAP Academy in one of America's poorest and most violent cities, Camden, New Jersey. [She] also shares the story of her personal and professional struggles as a Latina from an impoverished and working-class background, surviving and fighting for respect in an academic world that many times did not value racial or ethnic diversity. Those experiences forged a dream of transforming a poor urban community through education. [This book] presents a working model for charter schools, while at the same time admitting that LEAP is a work in progress. Most of all, it describes an inspiring institution that has seen many young people break the cycle of poverty, graduate from high school, succeed in college, and go on to live productive lives."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Miracle of Christmas By: Jean C. Cooper Five-year-old Emily, an only child, is quite spoiled. Her parents give her everything she needs—and more – but she always wants more. Christmas is coming soon, and Emily, like all children, cannot wait! Her list to Santa is so long that her parents pray for a miracle—a miracle that someday their child won’t be as spoiled. One night Emily’s mother peeped through the blinds in her room and saw the biggest, brightest, most beautiful star she has ever seen. She doesn’t know why, but she suddenly drops to her knees and feels an overwhelming need to pray. Somehow, for some reason or another, she knows this strange experience is not to be shared. It is only meant for her. Could it be a wonderful Christmas miracle? The Miracle of Christmas reminds us that Christmas is a time of deep gratitude, appreciation, and joy – it’s not about the presents.

Book excerpt: It is 1919 and Elizabeth Hughes, the eleven-year-old daughter of America's most-distinguished jurist and politician, Charles Evans Hughes, has been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. It is essentially a death sentence. The only accepted form of treatment – starvation – whittles her down to forty-five pounds skin and bones. Miles away, Canadian researchers Frederick Banting and Charles Best manage to identify and purify insulin from animal pancreases – a miracle soon marred by scientific jealousy, intense business competition and fistfights. In a race against time and a ravaging disease, Elizabeth becomes one of the first diabetics to receive insulin injections – all while its discoverers and a little known pharmaceutical company struggle to make it available to the rest of the world. Relive the heartwarming true story of the discovery of insulin as it's never been told before. Written with authentic detail and suspense, and featuring walk-ons by William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, and Eli Lilly himself, among many others.

Book excerpt: Adam Taliaferro had it all: smarts, an easy-going personality, and incomparable athletic ability. None of that seemed to matter, however, on that fateful September day when his father was given startling news: Do not expect your son to walk. Ever. Since that numbing day, Taliaferro, the Penn State freshman cornerback who was paralyzed after he tackled an Ohio State running back, has defied the odds. Before he had spinal-fusion surgery, he made a vow to his mother: "Mom, I'm not going out like this." Three months later, he walked out of a Philadelphia hospital on crutches, determined to complete his amazing recovery, making the name "Adam Taliaferro" synonymous with courage and perseverance.
