Aaliyah Anderson is back and ready to end the first semester of her last year in middle school with a bang! But, can she continue her journey and keep her head up through the awkward, troubling circumstances that her life is throwing at her? The Anderson's family situation gets more drama filled as it's revealed that Mr. Anderson indeed didn't abort the baby that he had with his former mistress. Aaliyah's half-sister Faith already looks up to and adores her but how long will her admiration of Aaliyah last as the truth about their father becomes apparent to the world? Does Aaliyah have the strength inside of her to break the news to Faith herself? The Clarkson Student Body Elections rolls on and things get even more tense between Aaliyah and her #1 hater Latasha Smith. Major personal shots are fired Aaliyah's direction. Damon, who hosts a wildly popular morning radio show on Howard-Jones High Schools's student run radio station WHJHS 90.5, suggests that Aaliyah lets him interview her to help clear the air. However, she refuses, wanting to win the election without her big brother's help. As Aaliyah tries to keep things fair, classy and professional, she slowly loses the support of her 8th grade classmates. Will Aaliyah's ego and mature campaign get more support from her peers as Election Day inches closer and closer or will she have to stoop as low as Latasha has gone to get an advantage? Aaliyah's school and personal life is hard enough to bare but Willowsfield becomes increasingly more violent and volatile to round out the year. A Facebook argument over the authenticity of respective hoods and gangs spills over into the streets, Allison once again has a run in with her eighteen-year old stalker and Jakiyah's hunt for the girls that jumped on yields major consequences. Will Aaliyah be able to keep her sanity going into the new year? The Diary Of Aaliyah Anderson: Volume II continues the accurate depiction of teen life that hasn't been seen in the Young Adult Genre to date. Follow Aaliyah as she documents her journey to womanhood and success in a story that's uniquely her own.

"In the Fall of 2010 I gave an assignment in my Appalachian Literature class at Berea College, telling my students to write their own version of "Where I'm From" poem based on the writing prompt and poem by George Ella Lyon, one of the preeminent Appalachian poets. I was so impressed by the results of the assignment that I felt the poems needed to be preserved in a bound document. Thus, this little book. These students completely captured the complexities of this region and their poems contain all the joys and sorrows of living in Appalachia. I am proud that they were my students and I am very proud that together we produced this record of contemporary Appalachian Life" -- Silas House

#1 New York Times bestseller with more than 11 million copies sold! When 4-year-old Colton Burpo emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven, his family doesn’t know what to believe. Heaven is For Real details what Colton saw and his family’s journey towards accepting their young son had visited the afterlife. “Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.” Colton told his parents he left his body during an emergency surgery–and proved that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital during his operation. He talked of visiting heaven and described events that happened before he was born and how he spoke with family members he’d never met. Colton also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, even though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton recounts his visit to heaven, describing: Meeting long-departed family members Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us How Jesus called Todd, Colton’s father, to be a pastor The Battle of Armageddon Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.” Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child. Praise for Heaven is for Real: “A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe.” —Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me
