What if the Confederates won the Battle of Gettysburg and successfully seceded, leaving the North intact with 11 fewer states? What might have been the progression of the country in the next 130 years? This is a creative effort to answer those questions. Much would be the same, but much would be potentially different. This is an exploration.

"Now within sobriety, I felt I had created such a mess with my life that any love others held for me must surely be gone. Looking for love from someone, from anyone, I became convinced it no longer existed. How do you get over that?" Although Sheila Raye Charles was surrounded by people, she was overwhelmed with loneliness. Those she should have been able to trust had failed her; life itself seemed to mock her attempts to overcome not only her own past but also the choices of those who had lived before her. Sometimes it seemed there was no hope beyond these shadows she could never seem to escape...

Vox Dei

What is a Dean of Students? What does he do when he is "on duty?" What do teenagers do when the adults are not looking? How important are education and parenting? This book offers some insights and perhaps even some answers. The Dean: On Duty explores a number of important issues that students, parents and schools confront on a regular basis. The anecdotes reflect real people and real issues, and though each person or incident is unique the broader implications for society in general bubble to the surface throughout the book. This is not an in depth study of homophobia, ethnicity, politics or philosophy, but those are among the broad issues that emerge throughout the book, often with their own chapter headings but not exclusive to those chapters. This is a personal story, not the result of research or planning. "I live on campus at a boarding/day school of teenagers in grades 9-12, with an additional day population in the 7thand 8th grades that has a separate administrator. Even though only a small portion of the American population has contact with or knowledge of these institutions, what I have to say has broad enough implications that there will be useful nuggets for many people: parents, students, school personnel, former students. Much of what I do say is anecdotal, personal. I am not a social scientist. I do not have the broad data to make solid conclusions about education or parenting.
