Best Selling Books by Anne Hill

Annie Hill has finally escaped her ex-husband, Jason, a paranoid sociopath, but she and her two young ones have no money and no place to stay. She finds enough help to afford an apartment, but it is infested with roaches-and it''s right above a domestic abuser. Annie hates hearing what the man does to Alice, his girlfriend. Annie wants to move but can''t afford it, and her attorney has advised her to stay put in order to demonstrate mental stability to the courts. But Annie calls the police on the abuser, whose attentions are now turned toward her. As she copes with the family''s new living arrangements, Annie tackles the problems of divorce court. Jason wants to retain all of their property and have full custody of their young children, something Annie cannot allow. But this is the 1970s and 1980s, and an antifeminist backlash is underway, destroying Annie''s credibility in the eyes of the law. As the proceedings stretch from months into years, it seems no claim that Jason levels against Annie is too absurd to be taken seriously-and Annie has no idea how much danger her abusive neighbor poses to her and her daughter.

This qualitative study aimed to explore whether and how faculty were empowered by a participatory experience in the design, development, and implementation of a new faculty-driven academic advising model. This study focused on a core team of full-time faculty volunteers with an assigned advising load within the Arts and Sciences division of a rural community college. Using Donnan''s (2005) 5-D Cycles of Appreciative Inquiry, the goal of this process was to build capacity among faculty to assist in future problem-solving tasks. The theory of actionguiding this study was that if faculty members were fully engaged in all aspects of the design and implementation of a community college advising program, then there would be measurable gains in faculty satisfaction and an enlargement of the capacity of faculty to address problems of practice in their institutional contexts.The results suggest that core team faculty overwhelmingly support the participatory process used. They appreciated the thorough, yet positive, tone and felt relieved by the opportunity to be heard in a safe environment. Some expressed the tone as therapeutic and reported having a sense of procedural justice. Most acknowledged feeling empowered to make decisions, and they described the importance of having a process to follow and knowing how the process would unfold. This empowerment to make decisions created a sense of ownership of the advising process.
