Class Act
Connie Weaver: Teacher, divorced single parent and lone caregiver to an elderly and difficult mother. She doesn't have time for anything else -- like romance. Years ago, she thought she and Jim Campbell could have a life together, but that was before she knew that the one thing he wanted was the only thing she couldn't give. Jim Campbell: Successful businessman who's left the business. He's back at school -- as the headmaster this time. He's a great teacher. He can handle the mostly wonderful, sometimes difficult students, the demanding faculty and the interfering parents. What he can't figure out is what to do about Connie. Even after all these years, Jim Campbell still has a lot to learn!
The Offenders
"Colonel Jefferson Karnes rode into Gallatin, Missouri, to find out what was going on between the Gentiles and Mormons there. Feelings were strong on both sides, and his hopes for a peaceful solution are crushed with violence"--
In Living Color!
The humorous struggles of Pauline Porter, as she struggles to run the family bookstore. But that's the easy part. The hard part is trying to raise her two teenage sons, Tyrell and Yusuf. She loves to read-- they'd rather play video games. She likes to eat healthy -- they'd rather eat junk food. She loves ol' school music -- they listen to hip hop. But it would all be worth it if they ever came to realize that all she wants to do is to keep them happy and safe. Based on the popular Mama's Boyz syndicated comic strip.
