"Mother Superior's Secret is a page turner from the first page to the last. It is a shocking story set in the dangerous countryside of ravaged, Nazi-occupied France during World War II, yet is extremely contemporary, a story that might be read in today's headlines. The main character, a young girl, faces unspeakable and horrific evils and her journey through terror holds the reader entirely captive from the very first word. The novel is exceptionally well written, the characters jump from the pages and the last page comes all too soon. Eric Marsh has created a thought-provoking, spellbinding novel with larger-than-life characters and a story the reader will remember for a long time afterward."--Carole Burg, author "Inside the Nightmare" -- Back cover.
It was an oil-rich, wheeler-dealer, easy-money, quick-profits, greed-driven oil-dependent economy. It was Texas in the1980's. And it all suddenly crashed in a whirlwind slide of events. Inside the Nightmare is the suspenseful, action-packed story focusing on Karen, the secretary to the evil president of one corruption-ruled bank. Her knowledge of the Grady Files, which chronicle the dangerous and illegal acts committed by the bankers, targets her for murder. Karen's lover, a pilot working undercover for the DEA, and dealing drugs with dangerous, loathsome drug lords, is aware of her precarious situation. Because of his association with the bank's president, who is funding the drug deals, and with vicious underworld drug criminals, he unknowingly places her in greater danger. Suspense builds as the bank teeters on the brink of collapse and Karen cannot escape the inevitable.

Here, Carol Mullen uncovers vital information about the needs of the nation's schools that can be reflected in program content and policy reform. She contends that in today's education climate there exists an urgent call for university faculty to take responsibility for reforming university preparation programs. Otherwise, the least effective of these programs could be eliminated, as has already occurred in North Carolina. This book should help principal preparation programs that are behind the times to move forward. Such programs can thus be expected to be aligned not only with the expectations of universities, policymaking bodies, and the public, but also with school districts and practicing school leaders.
