Behind the Ivy Walls by Hal English Pdf

"Behind the Ivy Walls" is based on the true story of a young boy seemingly born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. It is written in the time-honored tradition of a feel-bad/feel-good story in which someone else's tragedy teaches us life lessons about positive thinking and seizing each day as a gift. This book details the quest for a true identity, the love of a family and a safe place to call home. After years of mental and physical abuse the boy discovers that he was secretly adopted and begins an unlikely journey to search for his family. In this wonderful Huck Finn type story one surprising deception after another surfaces, culminating in a secret so powerful it had to be buried for more than fifty years. Peppered full of twists, life determining challenges, positive role models, and many surprising skeletons in the closet, it ends with the unraveling of a father's ultimate vengeance and a mother's final retaliation.

Over the Ivy Walls by Patricia Gándara Pdf

Unique among literature on minority and Chicano academic achievement, Over the Ivy Walls focuses on factors that create academic successes rather than examining school failure. It weaves existing research on academic achievement into an analysis of the lives of 50 low-income Chicanos for whom schooling "worked" and became an important vehicle for social mobility. Gándara examines their early home lives, school experiences, and peer relations in search of clues to what "went right."

Beyond Ivy Walls by Rachel Fordham Pdf

Beauty and the Beast meets A Light Between Oceans in historic small-town America where a wealthy reclusive bachelor and an unlikely ally join forces to solve a family secret and inadvertently find belonging along the way. Early 1900s. When an accident leaves Sadie West's family in dire financial need, she nervously leaves the land she loves to work in the Hoag duster factory. But sending all her money home means that she has nowhere to board, and she's forced to take up residence in an abandoned building--a choice that throws her in the path of the town's mysterious bachelor. Recently returned from exile, and determined to keep his arrival a secret, Otis Taylor makes the impulsive decision to hire the woman he finds hiding on his family's property with the strict instructions she tell no one he has returned. The dark halls of his boyhood flood him with memories he's long tried to forget. The only bright light is the woman he has hired. Can the optimistic Sadie teach the wounded Otis to trust again? To love? Can the pair unravel the family secrets that have long cast a shadow over the mansion and those who reside within? With the same heart as Rachel Fordham's fan-loved previous historical novels, Beyond Ivy Walls takes readers on an emotional journey full of character development, historical nuance, and a deeply satisfying happily ever after.

Pruning The Ivy by Milton Leontiades Pdf

Higher education in America is the best in the world, but it is also desperately in need of reform. Lacking effective competition and insulated from market forces, universities have created a model fundamentally at odds with free market principles. In a system few outsiders comprehend, universities uniquely are run for the benefit of faculty. Increasingly, top universities have come to resemble closed academic societies. Admission is by way of a Ph.D. degree. Mastery of abstract research for its own sake is the route to promotion and advancement. Teaching is of incidental importance for tenure – the goal of every academic. Achieving tenure assures long-term employment without mandatory retirement plus freedom from inhibitions on speech or actions. Faculty share governance with an administration although faculty lack managerial skills or responsibility for their recommendations. Politically conformist, faculty think one way and recruit newcomers who think alike. Given time, institutions that do not attract strong leaders or demand accountability from faculty are destined to underperform. Cracks in the seams of the current system are emerging in out-of-control costs and greater competition. Lacking normal measures of efficiency or productivity, universities’ costs tend to spiral higher – with future escalation a given. The trends are clear but not yet ominous. Without reform, America’s universities are coasting. Can reforms take hold before a crisis is reached? Only if strong voices demand it. Reform from universities that are characterized by intellectual inbreeding and self-regulation cannot be expected. Assuring future generations of a quality education is the collective responsibility and duty of the citizenry. Based on an inside-out view of universities, this book provides the ammunition for such a campaign. It provides the information and stimulus for reform for legislators, community leaders, academics and average citizens.

The Ivy Labyrinth: Volume 1 by Cady Hammer Pdf

Kristy Fitzpatrick just can’t catch a break. As a mortal in a magical world, she often feels disconnected from the rest of her mystical, more exciting classmates. The only thing that she has to compete with in the classroom is her mind. But even for a magical being like her impulsive naiad best friend, Brianna, life is far from stable. Centuries ago, when a fully formed labyrinth sprang from the ocean, the magic emanating from its ivy walls caused all kinds of devastating magical consequences that affect the planet every year from magical instability in beings all over the world to chaotic natural disasters. Every year, four high school students are chosen to enter the labyrinth and try to break its hold on the world by solving a series of complex riddles and challenges. Most never come out. But when Kristy’s school is selected as the home of the next four students, despite her lack of choice in the matter, she sees an opportunity to do something that no other student has managed to do so far: survive the labyrinth. In Volume 1 of this Hunger Games-meets-Maze Runner high fantasy story from Kindle Vella and Radish, Kristy is about to learn whether her mind and body are up to the task. Because somehow, as she tests her own limitations, the Labyrinth is learning how to best her and her companions. There is no telling what kind of obstacles could come next.

White Ivy by Susie Yang Pdf

“A truly addictive read” (Glamour) about how a young woman’s crush on a privileged former classmate becomes a story of love, lies, and dark obsession, offering stark insights into the immigrant experience, as it hurtles to its electrifying ending in this “twisty, unputdownable, psychological thriller” (People). Ivy Lin is a thief and a liar—but you’d never know it by looking at her. Raised outside of Boston, Ivy’s immigrant grandmother relies on Ivy’s mild appearance for cover as she teaches her granddaughter how to pilfer items from yard sales and second-hand shops. Thieving allows Ivy to accumulate the trappings of a suburban teen—and, most importantly, to attract the attention of Gideon Speyer, the golden boy of a wealthy political family. But when Ivy’s mother discovers her trespasses, punishment is swift and Ivy is sent to China, and her dream instantly evaporates. Years later, Ivy has grown into a poised yet restless young woman, haunted by her conflicting feelings about her upbringing and her family. Back in Boston, when Ivy bumps into Sylvia Speyer, Gideon’s sister, a reconnection with Gideon seems not only inevitable—it feels like fate. Slowly, Ivy sinks her claws into Gideon and the entire Speyer clan by attending fancy dinners, and weekend getaways to the cape. But just as Ivy is about to have everything she’s ever wanted, a ghost from her past resurfaces, threatening the nearly perfect life she’s worked so hard to build. Filled with surprising twists and a nuanced exploration of class and race, White Ivy is a “highly entertaining,” (The Washington Post) “propulsive debut” (San Francisco Chronicle) that offers a glimpse into the dark side of a woman who yearns for success at any cost.
