As the rich, spoiled princess of Parrish, Mississippi, Sugar Beth Carey had broken hearts, ruined friendships, and destroyed reputations. But fifteen years have passed, now she's come home -- broke, desperate, and too proud to show it. The people of Parrish don't believe in forgive and forget. When the Seawillows, Sugar Beth's former girlfriends, get the chance to turn the tables on her, they don't hesitate. And Winnie Davis, Sugar Beth's most bitter enemy, intends to humiliate her in the worst possible way. Then there's Colin Byrne...Fifteen years earlier, Sugar Beth had tried to ruin his career. Now he's rich, powerful, and the owner of her old home. Even worse, this modern-day dark prince is planning exactly the sort of revenge best designed to bring a beautiful princess to her knees. But none of them have reckoned on the unexpected strength of a woman who's learned survival the hard way. Ain't She Sweet? is a story of courage and redemption...of friendship and laughter...of love and the possibility of happily-ever-after.

The Rebirth of Education
Despite great progress around the world in getting more kids into schools, too many leave without even the most basic skills. In India’s rural Andhra Pradesh, for instance, only about one in twenty children in fifth grade can perform basic arithmetic. The problem is that schooling is not the same as learning. In The Rebirth of Education, Lant Pritchett uses two metaphors from nature to explain why. The first draws on Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom’s book about the difference between centralized and decentralized organizations, The Starfish and the Spider. Schools systems tend be centralized and suffer from the limitations inherent in top-down designs. The second metaphor is the concept of...
Beth Woodburn
Beth Woodburn is a romantic novel by Maud Petitt. In the narrative, Beth—the doctor's only child—enjoys the Y.W.C.A.'s welcome to the "freshettes" despite being a newcomer to the world. The town of Briarsfield, which is near the Lake Erie shore, serves as the setting for the book. The doctor's only daughter, Beth, was relaxing beneath a birch tree one beautiful June afternoon with a less-than-elegant attitude. The entire home consisted of her, her father, and Mrs. Margin, the housekeeper, also referred to as Aunt Prudence. Beth had a slight height advantage, a girlish build, and a hint of the clumsiness that occasionally characterises an immature eighteen-year-old; her face, while not particularly attractive, yet had some attractiveness. Her features could have been a bit too defined, but the brow was as fair as a lily, and the large volume of dark hair was nicely drawn back from it.
Freedom Is, Freedom Ain't
In the long decade between the mid-fifties and the late sixties, jazz was changing more than its sound. The age of Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme, and Charles Mingus's The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady was a time when jazz became both newly militant and newly seductive, its example powerfully shaping the social dramas of the Civil Rights movement, the Black Power movement, and the counterculture. Freedom Is, Freedom Ain't is the first book to tell the broader story of this period in jazz--and American--history.
