This could be a charming little story of Peter and Katy growing up out in the country with their children, Emilia, Addison (Addy), and various animals. It could be that, but it isn’t for several reasons. Emilia is actually a fairy princess that has been given to Peter and Katy to raise for her first twenty-five years by the fairy queen and fairy king. They want her to learn all about humans because, in reality, fairies do live among us and need to understand all things human. Peter and Katy are sworn to secrecy and asked not to reveal Emilia’s true nature to her until later. Emilia discovers her powers and abilities somewhat haphazardly as she needs them. Her parents tell her that her abilities must remain a secret. Alas, not everyone has wings. She must be cautious because there are those who hunt fairies for sinister purposes. She is provided with a massive enchanted elk named Hercules for protection. Hercules’s only weakness is Baby Ruth candy bars! He is later joined by a Belgian Malinois named Max as Emilia goes to college and discovers her destiny and a legendary secret. This book has kindness, love, friendship, adversity, faith, danger, perseverance, and excitement woven through it. I hope you enjoy Emilia and her family’s story!

The Other Side of the Meadow is a sweeping epic saga of betrayal and twists of fate, overlaid with subtle undertones of paranormal intervention. Spanning four generations of women, two world wars and the communist takeover of Poland, this stunning novel ultimately proves one undeniable fact of life: True love never dies. Emilia, Daisy, Bella and Fleur are distinctive women living in different eras. Their family line crosses a period of unsurpassed change in the world. Even as social customs, an evolving political landscape, and sweeping advances in technology forever rewrite history, the most important change for these four women is the coming of freedom for the fairer sex. Each woman is willful, visionary, and exudes a passion for life and for love. They are risk takers, determined to live with dignity and "to thine own self be true." The story begins in the early 1900s, when Emilia defies her father's wishes to marry the wealthy but disgusting old Baron Dalnoff, and relinquishing her true love in a desperate bid to flee her homeland. The novel ends with her great-granddaughter, Fleur. Each woman wears the same family cross that binds their fates together. Far from passively submitting to destiny, an unbroken chain of love follows the generations as they come to discover that through tragedy and triumph the link between them is stronger than their bloodline. It is in their soul. Born in Poland, Mira Stanislawska now lives in Melbourne, Australia. She founded Our Earth Foundation in Poland to run the ecological Clean up the World Campaign that originated in Australia. This book was inspired by stories told by elderly relatives.

This book examines how critical literacy pedagogy has been implemented in a classroom through a year-long collaboration between the author (a researcher) and an EAP teacher. It details the teacher's introduction to functional grammar and accompanying critical literacy approaches to EAP, and her growing critical language and discourse awareness of power and meaning making in the classroom. The book traces her evolving classroom practices and addresses how powerful discourses in social circulation found their way into the classroom via the curriculum materials the students encountered. The main themes of the book are threefold: narrowing the divide between critically-oriented researchers and practitioners; how critical literacy is actually implemented in a teacher's classroom; and how people (students and the teacher) engage in and with the representations and discourses of the everyday world that include neoliberal globalization, racial and cultural identities, and consumerism. It will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners for the ethnographic and pedagogical issues it raises as well as its accessible theoretical frameworks illustrated by relevant classroom interactional data, mediated, multimodal and critical discourse analysis.
