Book Description
Although an upbeat and positive novel, this book has a timeless message: during part of the nineteenth century and throughout the entire twentieth century, a perceptible shift of values occurred in the West, particularly in the United States. This shift has created a present-day tragic intellectual and moral crisis for all of us, especially our children. This book takes us on a journey to recover research-based, time-tested, and powerful teaching and learning principles. While on the journey, our hero teachers, Jack Edwards and Emily Lopez, explore why our schools have lost these proven principles of teaching and learning. And in the process, they find those principles that must be restored in order for children to thrive intellectually and morally in our educational systems.

Evil Paradise
Author: Jane Schwalger-Wyatt
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1681810336
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Evil Paradise is based on the author’s unique and moving life story. Jane Schwalger-Wyatt was born the illegitimate child of a wealthy plantation owner’s nephew and a traditional village girl on the exotic Polynesian island of Samoa. Born between two cultures and classes in the turbulent post-colonial years, and unwanted by either parent, her future looked bleak. After Jane’s birth, a pact was made between her grandmother and her wealthy great aunt. Jane spent her first ten years as a village girl raised by her grandmother, with her identity kept secret. Although adored by her grandmother, she endured hardship, brutality, and sexual abuse. Upon her grandmother’s death, Jane escaped to what she thought would be paradise on earth: her rich aunt’s estate, but she discovered that it held terrible secrets. In time, Jane learned about the savage history that blighted the plantation and the bizarre secret kept hidden upstairs in the mansion. After a failed reunion with her father, she was sent to her mother in New Zealand, where she was rejected yet again. Whilst battling overwhelming obstacles to make a life for herself, Jane’s second child was diagnosed with profound disabilities. How she managed to endure proves an unparalleled feat of human endurance and faith. She clung to the few that truly loved her, striving to make a life for herself with fierce and inspirational determination.
