Named one of the Top 2023 College Admissions Resources by Forbes Featured on NPR as "Book of the Day" and on Marketplace "Game changer, and long overdue"—Angel B. Pérez, CEO of the National Association for College Admission Counseling Finding the right college is a challenge for all students, but Black families face additional challenges and questions when navigating the admissions process. Veteran admissions experts Timothy L. Fields and Shereem Herndon-Brown demystify this complexity by advising families on when to begin the process, where to apply, and how to be a competitive applicant. Fields and Herndon-Brown address specific concerns that are not often addressed by school counselors or other resources. They highlight how recent social justice movements and legal cases have amplified the necessity of considering both Historically Black Colleges and Universities and predominantly white institutions, while covering everything from athletic recruitment and artistic talents to financial aid and step-by-step instructions for how to search for colleges and then apply to them. The second edition includes new chapters on • prioritizing students' and parents' mental health, • understanding the influence of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT on college essay writing, • reviewing recent Supreme Court decisions about race-conscious admission and their likely impact on Black applicants, and • navigating the admission process as a transfer applicant. A list of the best colleges for Black students, a glossary of terms, a list of notable Black college graduates and their alma maters, a suggested reading list, and an FAQ section round out the guide. Having worked on both sides of the desk—as school counselors and as college admissions gatekeepers—Fields and Herndon-Brown are well equipped to give parents, students, and school counselors the information and inspiration to research a variety of schools, understand their choices, and define success on their own terms.

Second Chance Mates What would you do if your estranged Alpha died, leaving behind an Omega and child with no one to care for them? Wilder Ten years ago, Logan left me. He told me that two Alphas cannot be together, that our mating wasn’t real. Yesterday, my sister called and told me that Logan passed away. That he’s leaving behind an Omega and a young child. Today, I’m at Logan’s funeral. Trying to stay out of sight, I notice how Logan’s family treats his Omega. Why am I the only one willing to help them? Sterling Logan and I had everything we ever wanted. A lovely cottage, a beautiful daughter and lots of big dreams. Then he was ripped away from us in a car crash. Now, Logan’s family is about to leave me to fend for myself after the funeral. Until one of Logan’s old friends steps in. Only, in all the commotion, I didn’t keep an eye on the calendar. And my heat starts at the most inconvenient of times. Why is Logan’s friend reacting to my heat? Only true mates are supposed to react to a mated Omega… What’s going on? Making a Family When your idea of asking a cute Omega to be your pretend-husband for a weekend takes an unexpected turn… Clay I have my pride as an Alpha, and I don’t want to be the only unmated sibling at my youngest sister’s wedding. What’s a successful, but bachelor, Alpha to do? Well, maybe ask the cute Omega frequenting my cafe to be my fake husband for the weekend. Only, I didn’t expect a weekend of fun to go so very differently… Aiden The day after my sister leaves her three-month-old to look after, to be the parent she can’t be, I get an odd request from the handsome Alpha running the cafe I frequent. And who can resist a request from the only man able to make me smile this week? So, I show up, play the role of adoring husband, and that’s when things go a little off-script… Omegas’ Destined Alpha Two Omegas. One kiss. And an Alpha who wasn’t supposed to see it happen… Nathan I’m supposed to be an author, but I haven’t finished a book in years. Not since things got out of control. So, to hopefully get back on my feet, I move to a new city, start teaching at college and suddenly find myself intrigued by two Omegas that pass me by every morning. One day, on a whim, I follow them and see something I shouldn’t have seen. A kiss. A beautiful kiss. And it’s the start of a journey I never expected to make… Zeke I fled from the arranged marriage my parents set up for me and I was ready to give up on love entirely, and then my best friend saved his younger Omega brother, Wes, from a bad situation and suddenly I was falling, head over heels. It’s amazing to be at Wes’ side and to see him flourish, even if our relationship is a little complicated, we’re making it work. Maybe love isn’t so bad after all. What I hadn’t counted on was the Alpha walking into the cafe, and the way my eyes keep getting drawn to him... Wes After my brother saved me from my abusive ex, I’m getting my feet back under me. I’m finally doing the things I was never able to do, like having a job and going to college. It’s not easy to combine it with caring for my four children. But with my Omega boyfriend Zeke and my brother’s family at my side, we make it work, they’re all the people I’ll ever need. Until, one morning, an Alpha walks into the cafe that I work at, and he asks Zeke and me out on a date, together...

Hooked Barrett Beckmeyer lived his whole life knowing what he wanted. He wanted to be outside, on the lake at his family's resort. Fishing was his life. In the summer, in the winter, it didn't matter. He loved it. He didn't know anything was missing. Until Eden. One night with her and nothing was the same. Eden Craig wasn't looking for more than a night of fun. That was all Barrett was supposed to be. One night and then forget him. Only forgetting him was impossible. And when she's asked to be the lead architect on an addition at Maple Ridge Resort, she knows avoiding him will be inevitable. She was hooked from the second he sat down next to her, but did he feel the same? Sparked Nina Beckmeyer had been in love since she'd been sixteen. There was just one problem. The guy had no idea. After spending two summers and countless weekends with her family, Donovan Stewart was gone in the blink of an eye. All these years later, she's doing just fine, even if all her dreams are of a man she knows she can never have. Until he shows back up. Donovan has loved Nina since the moment he saw her thirteen years ago. It happened in a flash and has never gone away. But she's his friend's sister, and there is no way Emmett would be okay with them together. Or would he? When he arrives in town as a favor to Nina's family, the same spark of awareness that had been there so many years ago is even stronger. Donovan knows it's now or never, and he's not willing to settle for never. Is the love they each secretly felt all those years ago a love that is real? Shocked Emmett Beckmeyer had always been what most people would call stable. He came to work every day at his family's resort, did his job, had just the right amount of fun, and gave good advice. That all changed after a small fire in the newly added spa where his sister and the electrician were trapped. Since that moment, nothing has been the same. Maybe it was the fire telling him life was short or maybe it was the gorgeous, sexy electrician, Morgan, who he couldn't stop thinking of. He wanted her badly but knew from past experience that women weren't looking for long-term when it came to him. Something that had held him back long enough. Morgan's life was a mess. She'd moved to the small Wisconsin town of Lyden to meet her real dad, and from there, her life had been twisted every which way but up. After the fire, she was having a hard time sleeping and dealing with all that was on her plate. The very last thing she needed was to be having dreams about Emmett Beckmeyer, the man who saved her from the fire. He despised her, or at least that's what she thought. Until a party at his parent's house, where that all changed. Kneaded Decker Beckmeyer has a great life. He loves his family and his job. But every day, he remembers the past and how he almost gave it up for the wrong woman. He's vowed to never let another woman into his heart again, even though he yearns for love and a family of his own. When he does his sister an innocent favor, that all changes. Natasha can't believe her life has come to this. An ex-boyfriend is harassing her, and her once-perfect life is now in shambles. Enter Decker Beckmeyer. He's gorgeous, sexy, and has hair that any woman would be envious of. And he wants her to come work for Maple Ridge Resort and Spa. The timing couldn't be more perfect. There's just one problem. He spends his days ignoring her, while she spends all of hers obsessing over what it would be like to be with him. That is until she's had enough and confronts him, only to find out that maybe he's not as immune to her as she thought. Take one last ride with the Beckmeyer Family as Decker finally gets his happy ending.
