The Color of Emily's Eyes
When is a love story not a romance? When it involves Emily Kincannon, the geekiest viola prodigy of all time, and Ray Altieri, her high school science lab partner, who spends most of his free time keeping her from getting beaten up by bullies. After graduation they go their separate ways, until Emily returns to her hometown to reconnect with Ray. Unfortunately, he's gotten married, so Emily devotes herself to music. Years later, again threatened, she once more turns to Ray. This could be the chance they've been waiting for, but with the addition of a police officer with movie-star good looks, an egotistical cellist, a reclusive old lady, and an unexpected inheritance, can the nerdy girl who plays an instrument everyone confuses with a violin and the cynical Chicago cop find true happiness?
Don't Be A Dick
The single book therapists everywhere will recommend to all of their patients, because at some point or another, we all behave like dicks. Why this book? Because you might be a dick: a mean-spirited, self-focused individual who thinks and acts as though everyone else in the world can only be understood—and whose only importance is defined—in terms of their relationship to you. Being a dick might feel powerful in the short term, but it is not helping you in the long term because this flawed character trait is exactly what’s keeping you from attaining what you may want most: personal fulfillment, satisfying work, a loving committed relationship, and lifelong friendships. Anyone, at any t...
Fifty-Nine Days
Joseph Taylor feels as though he needs to escape from his life. He is heartbroken over his failing relationships, distraught over his current complacency, and overly disillusioned with his life's direction. In an effort to leave his problems behind, he abandons his home state of Indiana to visit his friend, Ray Wallace, in Florida. Ray has his own issues he’s working through. Ray is married with two children and finds the pressures of parenthood becoming increasingly overwhelming. Their trip will serve as a means to leave their worries behind as they travel to the southern tip of the state to enjoy the Fourth of July weekend on the beach. It has been fifty-seven days since Ray has had a drink of alcohol, and it is his hope that he can maintain his sobriety during the journey. This hope proves impossible as Joseph and Ray are sucked into the bar scene. The two friends focus on their present experiences to find some meaning in their otherwise unfulfilled lives but problems arise as a result of their penchant for immediate gratification. They decide that focusing on the present, while working hard to forget their past failures, might just be their ultimate salvation.
Hot Spring Patriots
On the high plains, the truth is harder to bury. When a spring rises from sacred ground, so do the people willing to defend it. Grey Wolf, a tribal elder, knows the land speaks — if you listen. Axel, a weary musician, knows some debts can only be paid in sweat and sacrifice. Together, they awaken a new resistance: one born of blood, water, and memory. The land remembers. So do we
Quality of Internal Auditing in the Public Sector
This book examines key methodological and organizational questions with regard to assessing the quality of internal audits. By studying the status quo of these audits in the public sector, including municipalities, it identifies relevant weaknesses, loopholes and issues. In addition, the book assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the approved control system to explain the reasons why, and conditions under which, internal audits are ineffective, and proposes new metric and non-metric indicators to improve the quality of internal auditing. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable guide for anyone responsible for financial controls and internal audits, and will appeal to students and financial practitioners alike.
