Welcome2010 -- NEW BOOK ----- THE SCHOOL FACTORY
By symbolically making all kids "products" tracked on different conveyor belts - in the factory, the author rips open the heart and soul of Heritage High. Throughout the parable, the conflict between the human needs of the teens and the rules of the factory builds. Some kids drop off the conveyor belt; one, Jim Bartlett, chooses suicide as his way out. In the last thread of the novel, the dying teacher meets Jim Bartlett. With Jim, now as her teacher, she experiences a true "TIMELESSNESS". She sees her students in their future lives. By expanding time, the author is able to help the teacher and the reader make sense of the incongruity and emptiness of a typical year in the school factory.
The School Factory by Christine A Adams
2009 CHILDREN'S BOOK - ABBEY PRESS ELF HELP SERIES
God Made Us One By One helps children define and recognize prejudice. It explains how prejudice can poison a person's mind and close it before the person really gets to know someone. We were created in God's image --each one of us, with all our differences. If we are to live in a world of harmony, our children must be shown how to live, learn,and work with others who are different.
