Описание:
Three adventurous teenagers, yearning for manhood.
Two mysterious disappearances.
One Mississippi farm at the center of it all.
When he's not busy trying to win over the girl of his dreams, Case Reynolds fishes, camps, and races three-wheelers on a local farm with his best friends, the carefree Jack Masterson and brilliant Jet Townsend. But Case's life changes forever when he finds the murdered remains of a local drifter in a barn, the beloved farm comes up for sale, and Jack's abusive stepfather Stone disappears without a trace.
The evidence points to all three events being connected. And when the boys discover that not only are they prime suspects in the drifter's death, but the future of the farm depends on exposing the truth, they set out to find Stone and catch the killer on their own.
Their secret quest takes them on a journey of danger and self-discovery that they never could have imagined. Because Stone had dark secrets, killers will kill again, and the truth isn't always what it seems, even between best friends.
Can Case and his friends execute their plan to bring justice to those who deserve it and find a bit of redemption for Stone--and themselves--in the process?

Описание: J'nell and one of her partners, Major Lampton, defend her childhood friend, Qujette Barbarette, against the charge of murder. In the process, another client is freed of a murder charge, and they uncover a murder for hire plot that pits sons against their mother. She sees her old friend, Senator Freddy Breaux retire from the US Senate, and her best friend, George Allen Lange, win that vacated seat. J'nell Montalvo Johnson Rushing, had always believed she was in control of her life. That notion is challenged when she is blindsided by three of her legal partners; the three she trusted above all others; when they reveal to her their affiliation with Felix Petijean', the reputed head of the Louisiana Syndicate. What he reveals to her is almost impossible to accept. The hardest part is the knowledge her parents, several of her partner's and her best friend, have all been a part of the deception. J'nell suffers the loss of many of her older loved ones, and in the process is reunited with an old flame. It is then that she realizes her life had come full circle. J'nell sees all four of her children married and making her a grandmother. She continues to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. In the process, she takes on several large corporations, and to her mother's chagrin, the Catholic Church. Upon her retirement, she surprises her family and the legal world with a best-selling novel that eventually becomes a major mini-series. Her success is soured when the granddaughter of an old nemesis sues her for slander. Through it all, J'nell never loses her faith in God and gives all the glory to HIM. In her golden years, J'nell reflects on her many accomplishments, all the people who floated in and out of her life, the many lifelong friendships she made, and the fact she had few regrets about her life. At the end, she is happy to know she will be reunited with all those loved ones who went before her.

Описание:
The process of making decisions is integral to life. We make decisions every day, from what to have for breakfast to critical issues of life and business. When two or more people are involved in making those decisions, the process often involves "compromise" and can be complicated by the basic give-and-take and trade-offs that are associated with this approach.
Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary of the English Language defines compromise in this way: A settlement in which each side gives up some demands or makes concessions An adjustment of opposing principles, systems, etc., in which part of each is given up The result of such an adjustment or settlement Something midway between different things A laying open to danger, suspicion, or disrepute, as a compromise of one's good name, or; to surrender or give up (one's interest, principles, etc.)
Compromise necessarily, then, leads to a result that has the great risk of being suboptimal because the concessions made can easily preclude consideration of alternatives and important viewpoints. One of the factors that those who promote compromise as a means of making decisions use as justification is that each side gives up something they want, and thus each side can "live with" the result. In reality, neither side will give up something critically important to them while expecting the other to do just that. The end result is often that either no decision or agreement can be reached or one or both of the parties is unhappy with the result. Too frequently, the ultimate result is failure because one or both parties do not fully support the agreement, which becomes more likely if one party feels it gave more than the other or had to give up something related to its principles or best interest.
In an increasingly complex world, compromise is not the best way to reach decisions. An approach that fully and objectively examines all points of view and ideas is needed to arrive at workable solutions to problems and issues as diverse as those we see in the world today.
Anyone who has worked inside any company, large or small, knows that it is often very challenging to make decisions. Different personalities, diverse interactions, company politics, and even social, political, and economic philosophies present barriers to agreement. Add to that the basic competitive nature of human beings and the result can be a bubbling stewpot of rancor, foxhole-digging, foot-dragging, backbiting, criticism, individual conflict, and an attitude of an "I win, you lose" zero-sum game that leads to, at best, nonoptimal decisions and at worst, paralysis and no decisions at all.
This description applies to virtually any type of organization, not just the corporate setting. It can be seen in organizations, nonprofits, politics, families, churches, schools, and any other setting in which a group of people, whether it be two or many, must meet and make decisions on any topic. All of us have seen the results of committee deliberations aimed at making decisions in a number of these seemingly different settings. Quite often, when we watch the process, we understand the saying that "A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled." The three authors have worked in a variety of different companies and noncorporate settings, including small local companies (fewer than 10 employees) to very large multinational corporations; they have been a part of boards of directors and trustees of nonprofits, school and church groups, neighborhood organizations, and others. They have all had the (mis)fortune of serving on committees charged with making decisions ranging from purchasing equipment to basic corporate strategy for international product development.
