Stella Bankwell is going home for Christmas, leaving behind her quaint cottage on St. Simons Island and heading back to Turner's Corner, the farm where she happily grew up in the North Georgia mountains shadowed by the Appalachian Trail. The snowy Christmas Stella and her friends spend at Turner's Corner is surprising--there will never be another Christmas like it--a sweetly meaningful holiday and celebration of life.

Elizabeth Cox writes about her own experiences, sometimes imprudent, sometimes profound: weeks spent living in a homeless shelter in New York City, a trip to the Mid-East where she visited Yasser Arafat in his compound, an unexpectedly impacting Alaskan adventure, working with abused/neglected children, and the explorations of the mind through reading. Each experience reflected and gave insight into what this author lacked, while deepening a sympathy learned from those around her, always trying to cross that bridge of understanding.

AMERICAN PROTEUS seeks to explain what it means for Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) to have created out of his life-experiences and encompassing cultural milieu a novel kind of fiction for a new kind of country. As a work of biographical criticism, this study charts the emergence of Brown's authorial voice as it developed throughout an amorphous, multifaceted, and conflicted apprenticeship. This eleven-year period of literary experimentation established the foundation for his brief yet momentous career as a publishing novelist that lasted from 1798 through 1801.

Through the open-door hospitality of Maranatha Baptist Church, the Plains congregation where Jimmy Carter maintained a membership for his entire post-presidential life, "Jimmy Carter's Sunday School Class" welcomed crowds of curious folks from a vast variety of faiths, lifestyles, and cultural backgrounds on the search for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to witness a national treasure share his relevant insights from time-tested Scriptures. Always thoughtful, never pretentious, fifteen of Carter's lessons illustrate how Scripture-inspired love can reach the world beginning right at home. Four of the selected lessons were taught at The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C., during President Carter's four years in the Oval Office.

Nearly two hours past midnight on the moonless night of December 14, 1990, a single-engine Cessna airplane landed at the rural Ware County airport near Waycross, Georgia, then proceeded to taxi and park at an isolated and remote end of one runway. A guard at a nearby prison who had observed the landing alerted local sheriff's deputies, who arrived just in time to block the plane from taking off. The officers observed a large box inside the plane's cabin and, suspecting illegal drugs, obtained a search warrant. To the shock of the deputies, the box contained the body of a young white female.

In 1994 Georgia Tech was a good regional technological university, but the outgoing president left under a cloud of problems with financial systems, federal audits, deferred maintenance, threats to accreditation, and the looming commitment to serve as the Olympic Village for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. As the first alumnus of Georgia Tech to serve as president, G. Wayne Clough was determined to find the means to solve these problems and save the reputation of the university. Believing Georgia Tech had enormous untapped potential, Clough set out to use his experience at four comprehensive universities to change the course of the university for the future. It would come down to a set of key decisions, gaining support for them, and executing with persistence. When it was all said and done, Georgia Tech would be ranked among the top ten public universities in the country and among the top thirty in the world.
