Hager and Soderman, both in their 80s, aren't afraid to laugh at themselves. Questioning whether 80 is the new 60, they've literally gone around the bend in this hilarious compilation of 42 stories about neighbors, relatives, and lots of people who didn't know they were being observed. In baring it all, the authors share both funny and embarrassing experiences such as buying a new swimsuit, staying in shape, finding a man, and needing those adult incontinence products. Their predominately 50+ neighborhood that could be anywhere in the United States is complete with an over-active rumor mill, genuine friendships, and people just as silly as they are. All wrapped up, this is a fun, snarky, and in-your-face read.

The title suggests a willingness to reveal my innermost thoughts, emotions, and or vulnerabilities without reservation or hesitation. It reflects an openness and perhaps a challenge to societal norms or personal inhibitions about sharing deep and personal aspects of myself. It implies questioning any hesitations or reservations and being completely open and honest about who I am, and how I feel. My soul laid bare encompasses a sense of boldness or fearlessness in sharing things that are deeply personal and intimate.

The Teacher said, "My Child Can't Read... What Now?"You just got a call or email from your child's school stating that he/she is reading below grade level and in danger of failing. All of this was a mystery to you because every time you see your child, their cell phone is an extra appendage. They have to be able to read text, read instructions to play video games and use search engines. Something must be wrong with the teacher and school! You decide to schedule a meeting and when you sit down to talk with the teacher, they show you a reading evaluation that basically says, "My child can't read!" So now what?Don't worry. I am here to help! Let's talk about my passion for helping wrestling readers become successful readers. I am going to use the term "wrestling readers" because when watching the children who have difficulty with reading they wrestle with the words. It looks just like a real wrestling match. {In a wrestling match, one of the wrestlers tries to take control of the opponent by getting behind or on top of him for a "takedown." It is as if the words on the page are the opponent. When watching a child who is having difficulty reading, you can see and hear them trying to take down the words. They huff and puff trying to sound the words out. Hoping that the words they say will sound right, make sense, and help them know what they are reading. They move around in their seats, rock back and forth, or are unable to sit. They twirl their hair or wiggle their fingers. They crumple the pages of the book or paper, then flip their tablets or technology devices.} How do I know? I have taught students for over forty years from Kindergarten to Adults and have seen these behaviors firsthand. Reading is one of the most essential skills in our society. A child's ability to read and comprehend is a key to success in school and in life. It is literally a Daily Life Skill. Reading is a life skill for every occupation. From the brain surgeon to the truck driver, reading is essential. Let's look at a few examples: The cook needs to read the recipe and the orders to fill. The grocery worker needs to read the boxes to place the correct merchandise on the shelf in the correct area. The mom needs to read the medication to administer to her sick child. The athlete needs to read the playbook. The rapper needs to read the lyrics that he writes. For many children this task is simple; however, for an ever-increasing number of children, this is quite difficult. It's not just about looking at the pictures and guessing what's on the page. It's not about pronouncing a word softly so no one really hears what was said or skipping a word or even hoping what was said was correct. It's not even about listening to a recording and thinking you know what it is saying. It is really about the letters, and sounds, then putting them together; pronouncing the word, and knowing what it means(comprehension). It is really about the alphabet, their sounds, and connections. Reading starts with words in pictures such as McDonald's, Walmart, Target, Coke, Sprite, and Cheetos. Early readers are known to have a wider vocabulary earlier on in life than non-early readers. This is partly because they are more conscious of the words.

It's safe to assume that a mid-tier homecoming dance isn't something you'd expect to see when you turn on your television. However, for Reese, Jenna, Nick, Diana, Jesse, and Joey, this became their reality when their sophomore homecoming ended with the six of them becoming murder suspects. At this point, the trashy decor wasn't the only crime at large. Now, they have finally graduated, and after a rough four years, the six of them head off to their long-awaited trip to Hawaii before going off to college. The group does everything they can to keep this trip as relaxing as possible, but unfortunately, life has other plans for them. Secrets and long-held confessions are uncovered in the strangest of ways, and the six of them start to find themselves unraveling like a ball of string. Amidst the quiet chaos, one thing seems to be screaming at them: "Were they naive to think that they'd moved on from what had happened to them just two years ago? The answer to this is yes. When the six of them go their separate ways after the trip, it is a complete shock to everybody and nobody. So, what happens when they have a not-so-by-chance reunion six years later? Will they be able to solve both the mystery that's been looming over their heads for years and the problems they created along the way? And most importantly: has time healed anything, or made everything worse?

Never breaking eye contact, she stood with her hand over the grave, releasing her clump of dirt, slowly, scornfully, a little bit at a time, until it was gone. Only then did she turn and leave the cemetery without a word. Meet 22 year-old Abigail Gerre, fiercely outspoken, gritty and resourceful. As the narrative opens, Abigail must preside over the burial of her stepmother, Margaret, with whom she had a fractious relationship. It's January, 1867, and an outbreak of Scarlet Fever has caused Abigail to close the town's school. On the fringe of the circle of mourners is an unexpected, yet familiar figure from her past, Dr. David Caldwell, scion of a wealthy New England family, at one time her protector and friend. The reason for his sudden reappearance is unclear, but one thing is certain. His presence will change many lives, including her own. "The Healing Year" is the story of two families, once close, who are now torn apart by a secret that should have gone to Margaret's grave. But, for David, treating those afflicted by the Scarlet Fever epidemic, will show him the life path he would choose, rather than that which his family would choose for him.
