Book Description
In 1991, twenty-one-year-old Sarah, recently divorced mother to two-year-old Hayley, moved from the small dusty town of Farmington, New Mexico to the bustling city of Houston, Texas with dreams of a better life. A year later she was swept off her feet by Greg Swindell, a millionaire Major League Baseball player who just had signed a lucrative contract with the Houston Astros and was becoming the talk of the city. Sarah was a young mother who never dreamed a guy like Greg would ever want a girl like her, but she could never have been more wrong. Greg loved Sarah the moment he saw her, and she felt the very same way. Six weeks after their first date, Greg asked Sarah to quit her job as a hairdresser and marry him during Spring Training in Florida, taking in Hayley as his very own. Throughout the next several years, Sarah's Cinderella story continued with the addition of three more children, a lifestyle only a few ever dreamed of living, and a love story even fewer ever experienced. The major league lifestyle afforded the Swindell's multimillion-dollar homes, fancy cars, and all the material things Sarah could ever want. The couple shared an unbreakable love, even in the fast-paced, flashy world of professional sports. That is until 2002 when this picture-perfect story came to a gut-wrenching halt, and Sarah was forced to deal with more pain than she ever thought possible. Dawson, their only son, was diagnosed with severe autism when he was just eighteen-months-old. As Sarah's world slowly crumbled beneath her, she was faced with choices that often resulted in devastating consequences. Sarah never dreamed how much her world would change so suddenly and without warning, leaving her feeling broken and ashamed almost to the point of no return.

Book Description
After identifying early conflicts between churches and baseball in the late-nineteenth century, Price examines the appropriation of baseball by the House of David, an early twentieth-century millennial Protestant community in southern Michigan. Turning then from historic intersections between baseball and religion, two chapters focus on the ways that baseball reelects religious myths. First, the omphalos myth about the origin and ordering of the world is reflected in the rituals and rules of the game. Then the myth of curses is explored in the culture of superstition that underlies the game. At the heart of the book is a sustained argument about how baseball functions as an American civil religion, affirming and sanctifying American identity, especially during periods of national crises such as wars and terrorist attacks. Building on this analysis of baseball as an America's civil religion, two chapters draw upon novels by W. P. Kinsella and David James Duncan to explore the sacramental potential of baseball and to align baseball with apocalyptic possibilities. The final chapter serves as a full confession, interpreting baseball affiliation stories as conversion narratives. In various ways

Sarah Blue has one dream—to open her own pet boarding business. When she receives an offer to spend three months in a penthouse looking after two dogs, she intends to do the best dog-sitting job possible, and focus on her business plan. What she didn't expect was to run into a stranger so handsome that she could barely put two words together at the sight of him. And she certainly didn't expect him to live across the hall and befriend her. Brigham Monaghan's reputation is on the line.

With the odds stacking up against Brigham, Sarah can't help questioning his motives. Did he fall hard for her, like she did him, or is it just a PR ploy? Either way, he's going to break her heart...

Book Description
It is difficult to overstate the everyday importance of home in law. Home provides the backdrop for our lives, and is often the scene or the subject of legal disputes. In addition, in recent decades there has been growing academic interest in the meaning of home, which has prompted empirical studies and theoretical exploration in a wide range of disciplines. Yet, while the authenticity of home as a social, psychological, cultural and emotional phenomenon has been recognised in other disciplines, it has not penetrated the legal domain, where the proposition that home can encapsulate meanings beyond the physical structure of the house, or the capital value it represents, continues to present conceptual difficulties. This book focuses on the competing interests of creditors who lend money against the security of the property and the occupiers who dwell in the property, in the context of possession actions. By mapping the concept of home as it has evolved in other disciplines against existing legal frameworks, Conceptualising Home examines the possibilities for developing a coherent concept of home in law.
