Jennifer Chambers and her dog Patch move from her perfect apartment in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, to a seven-room two-story white frame farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. Jenny is a city girl, and Whippoorwill Farm is not the place where she wants to spend the rest of her life alone, but she has no choice. Her fianc talked into buying her grandparent's farm. They were going to live there as newlyweds, but it didn't happen. She bought the farm, literally, because she was in love. Bad decision.
Trying to make the old farm feel like home, when Jenny cleans the stonewalled cellar beneath the farmhouse her dog finds a small wooden box hidden under her grandfather's workbench. The box has an ivory dragon with red ruby eyes on top. It looks like a treasure from another time, another place. Such an exotic looking antique should be filled with diamonds, emeralds, and pearls, instead it's filled with old keys. Among the derelicts, Jenny finds three keys on a gold ring and an invitation to play a game with the ghost of a man, John Burkhead, a former owner who has been dead for over sixty years.
Jenny learns that Burkhead was an eccentric, a collector of antiques and rare treasures, who kept a white wolf as a pet. Locals say he was murdered by vandals searching for Egyptian artifacts. Jenny has been living in a purple funk for four long months having been betrayed by her fianc and her best friend and she decides to play Burkhead's game of Locks and Keys because she feels she has nothing more to lose. She doesn't realize she is beginning an adventure, accepting a challenge, with unexpected consequences.
When Jenny is attacked by a burglar looking for Burkhead's rumored treasures she buys a gun to protect herself. She is armed, but she isn't sure she could pull the trigger knowing a bullet can maim or kill. When the game turns deadly, Jenny realizes that if she doesn't have the guts to defend herself and her property, she should move to a gated community.
To further complicate her life, Jenny worries about opening a lock and finding something of great value. Ethically, if she did find one of Burkhead's treasures would it belong to her, or to Burkhead's relatives, his heirs? Trying to make a decision about ownership, she locates Burkhead's cousin and forms an immediate connection with Ms. Gracie and her son Sean. Jenny trusts Sean and asks him to join her as she plays John's game. When the attraction between Jenny and Sean deepens, Jenny dreads telling him she is a 26-year-old virgin. It's the age of promiscuity. He will think she's . . . actually she doesn't know what he will think.
As Jenny plays Burkhead's ghostly game, she faces challenges that test her ingenuity, her integrity, and her courage in ways she could never have imagined. Will she win the game? Will she find all the locks that match the keys? The most important question of all . . . is she the only one playing John Burkhead's ghostly game?

Описание: We think of M?tis as having Prairie roots. Quebec doesn’t recognize a historical M?tis community, and the M?tis National Council contests the existence of any M?tis east of Ontario. Quebec residents who seek recognition as M?tis under the Canadian Constitution therefore face an uphill legal and political battle. Who is right? Bois-Br?l?s examines archival and ethnographic evidence to challenge two powerful nationalisms – M?tis and Qu?b?cois – that interpret M?tis identity in the province as “race-shifting.” This controversial work, previously available only in French, conclusively demonstrates that a M?tis community emerged in early-nineteenth-century Quebec and can be traced all the way to today.

Описание: In light of a marked increase in symptoms of anxiety and depression among students, it has become imperative to possess practical evidence-based tools that allow for effective, targeted and customized intervention. While the transition to postsecondary education is positive for many, an increasing number of students are experiencing mental health problems that hinder their academic success. The Zenstudies healthy transitions to college prevention program is designed for students who are making the transition to postsecondary education and aims to make this transition easier. The objective of this program is to improve the retention rate by teaching protection skills to help prevent anxiety and depression. The program consists of three components. The first, universal prevention, is delivered in the classroom by professors and helps students develop awareness around mental health and the postsecondary transition. The second, selective targeted prevention, consists of two workshops on anxiety management and depression prevention for subgroups of self-referred students. The third component is indicated targeted prevention. It consists of 10 group sessions of 6 to 10 participants with clinical symptoms of anxiety and/or depression, facilitated by two mental health professionals. The program consists of 15 components.
