Book Description
This book was made in honor of Jaxon Liam Boomsma. In 2017, Jaxon was tragically killed in a farming accident when he was just seven years old. He loved nothing more than being on the farm. His bubbly personality and toothless smile will never be forgotten. To honor Jaxon, our family and the JLB Mission 23 Committee set up a memorial fund called the Jaxon Boomsma Memorial Fund. The JLB Mission 23 Committee was formed to help keep Jaxon’s smile alive, and consists of family and friends in the Yankton community. The Jaxon Boomsma Memorial Fund has helped enhance community parks and farm safety programs. We have also set up an annual scholarship for a Yankton High School senior who will study in an agricultural related field. Our main goal is to promote farm safety and keep kids safe. As a family we wanted to be able to keep Jaxon’s smile alive by helping make the places he loved safer and more beautiful for other kids. We also want to prevent more accidents from taking young lives too soon. To help donate or follow our journey, you can follow our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/jaxonboomsma23/

Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
The flame that burns the brightest burns the quickest, they say, and Ana Reed planned to burn brightly for eternity. She had no plans to grow complacent and cold in her pursuit of justice for the children she served through her position as a social service worker. Ana held the sands of time in the palm of her hand, and she planned to clear the path for the broken children she swore to protect. Her gift would be their salvation. However, mankind had a different plan. Greed, cruelty, and lust for power led them to their own destruction. The once-free people were now confined by the immortals, who had to step in to save them from themselves. The immortals constructed great farms to house the elite few, handpicked to carry on the human race. Time erased all memories of freedom for the humans. All that remained was a sense of duty to the immortals. This unnatural environment was the last place Ana thought she would find her soul mate, yet she did. Marked with a number and a sense of obligation, James did as he was told and provided sustenance for the immortals. He knew nothing of the world outside the boundaries of the farm. His Ana was the only link to the outside world, and he loved the freedom her stories brought him. Many adventures filled the long life of Ana and her family and friends, but nothing could have prepared her for the future fate had in store for her. She had never dreamed anything like this was even possible. Her original goal in life was to be realized with the help of the love of her life.

Composing Science
Author: Leslie Atkins Elliott
Publisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807775142
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Offering expertise in the teaching of writing (Kim Jaxon) and the teaching of science (Leslie Atkins Elliott and Irene Salter), this book will help instructors create classrooms in which students use writing to learn and think scientifically. The authors provide concrete approaches for engaging students in practices that mirror the work that writing plays in the development and dissemination of scientific ideas, as opposed to replicating the polished academic writing of research scientists. Addressing a range of genres that can help students deepen their scientific reasoning and inquiry, this text includes activities, guidelines, resources, and assessment suggestions. Composing Science is a valuable resource for university-level science faculty, science methods course instructors in teacher preparation programs, and secondary science teachers who have been asked to address the Common Core ELA Standards. Book Features: Provides models for integrating writing into science courses and lesson plans. Focuses on the work that science writing does, both in the development and dissemination of ideas. Addresses the Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core ELA Standards. Includes samples of student work, classroom transcripts, and photographs that capture the visual elements of science writing. “The pedagogy described in Composing Science doesn’t only recapture the sense of the uncertainty of discovery, it also articulates and examines the social and collaborative writing practices that science uses to produce knowledge and reduce uncertainty. Without question, teachers of science will find this book inspirational and useful, college teachers for sure, but also teachers up and down the curriculum.” —Tom Fox, director, Site Development, National Writing Project “This book will be invaluable, not only for the genuinely new and wonderful ideas for teaching, but also and maybe more for the rich examples from the authors’ classes. Through the lens of writing we see students doing science—and it is truly science—in surprising and delightful ways.” —David Hammer, professor, Tufts University

Odessa is a Barn Owl with an attitude, who befriended Jaxon (a magical Jackalope).

Joshua Pebblestone bought his dream farm. His life was now going to be spent immersed in the peace and quiet of rural life, but then he found that he had three lodgers! Jaxon worked his magic which allowed them all to communicate with each other and, by some cunning feline manipulation, Joshua was soon known as the man-servant! The man-servant had no idea how full of adventures and humor his life was to become, with the antics of his three lodgers. He also had no idea that they would quickly steal his heart and be his best friends!

Fire in the Smokies
Author: Becca Jameson
Publisher: Becca Jameson Publishing
ISBN: 1946911135
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
His commands ignite flames in her that rival any forest fire… When Jaxon Durham isn’t raising thoroughbreds with his brothers, he’s using his heightened senses to search for missing hikers in the Smokies. This time the call is for a firefighter gone missing on the front lines. In his wolf form, he’s the first to track the firefighter to a cave, but he’s stopped cold by a stunning realization—the firefighter is his mate. To his relief, the body covered in fireproof gear is female. Brianna White can’t decide if she’s died and gone to heaven, or unconscious and having a delicious dream, when the wolf standing before her shifts into a naked man. Either way, she can’t resist the urge to go along for the ride. She never expected to fall so instantly, and so hard, for the sexy hunk. But an old enemy is lurking beyond the walls of their refuge. The clock is ticking while Jaxon races to evade the deadly threat, avoid the even deadlier flames, and overcome the stubborn will of a woman who’s not sure she’s ready to give up life as she knew it. Fire in the Smokies is a rerelease of the second book in the Durham Wolves series. It has been reedited, but the story remains the same. Welcome to the Durham Wolves series by best-selling author Becca Jameson. The Durham brothers own a farm in the Smoky Mountains where they raise Thoroughbred horses. After ten years of coexisting in the mountains with the local vampire, relations between the brothers and the bloodsucker begin to go south. The vampire wants the shifters off “his” mountain, and he will stop at nothing to convince them to leave. As the three brothers meet their mates, fear for their safety increases. Each book in the series follows one brother’s mating and subsequent encounters with the increasingly powerful vampire.

Pages : 203
Book Description
Her domineering mate knows how to push all her hot buttons. With a vampire still threatening the family, Micah Durham has no plans to follow his brothers into matehood. In fact, he’d prefer not to expose anyone else—human or shifter—to the dangers they face. Yet when he returns from visiting a horse buyer, he’s beyond pissed to find his family has hired a new thoroughbred trainer. A female, human trainer whose scent steals his power of speech. Kaitlyn Winston couldn’t wait to get out of California, and out from under her grandmother’s thumb, to find her dream job in her beloved Smoky Mountains. Except when she attempts to make nice with her new boss, their attraction lands them in his bedroom. The haze of passion doesn’t make their problems disappear, though. The life Kaitlyn left behind throws a left hook that could pull them apart. And the Durhams’ old enemy is back, stronger than ever, and threatening to pick off the Durhams and their mates…one at a time. Freedom in the Smokies is a rerelease of the third book in the Durham Wolves series. It has been reedited, but the story remains the same.

“A funny and satisfying love story [that] challenges simplistic preconceptions.” —Publishers Weekly Beckett Gaines, a gay teen living in South Carolina, has his world turned upside-down by a jock in this laugh-out-loud novel that’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets The Parent Trap. Beck: The Golden Girls-loving, out-and-proud choir nerd growing up in the “ass-crack of the Bible belt.” Jax: The Golden Boy, star quarterback with a slick veneer facing uncomfortable truths about himself and his past. When Beck’s emotionally fragile dad starts dating the recently single (and supposedly lesbian) mom of former bully Jaxon Parker, Beck is not having it. Jax isn’t happy about the situation either, holding out hope that his moms will reunite and restore the only stable home he’s ever known. Putting aside past differences, the boys plot to derail the budding romance between their parents at their conservative hometown’s first-ever Rainbow Prom. Hearts will be broken, new romance will bloom, but nothing will go down the way Beck and Jax have planned. In his hilarious and provocative debut, Greg Howard examines the challenges of growing up different in a small southern town through the lens of colorful and unforgettable characters who stay with you long after the last drop of sweet tea.
