A charming penpal correspondence between a grandmother and her eight-year old granddaughter. 
Eight-year old Hope's summer project for school was to become the pen pal of a senior citizen. When her assigned pen pal failed to write back, Hope's mother suggested she write to her grandmother. The result was a two-year correspondence. 
This book is a collection of the letters in which Hope's grandmother reveals the stories of her childhood, including the difficulties growing up in turn-of-the century St. Louis. Ultimately, the correspondence teaches readers of all ages some wonderful and joyous insights about human hearts.

How can faculty not on the tenure track develop their career, avoid being overlooked, and contribute to academic departments? How can the pitfalls of conventional mentoring systems be addressed and resolved? These questions are inter-connected, and in this book, the authors reveal solutions to both of them, applying their innovative mentoring method to the case of on-tenure track faculty. This group represents an increasing portion of higher-education faculty, yet their professional development is often neglected or under-served and their potential contributions are missed. Providing for their mentoring needs is critical and essential. The authors enumerate the shortcomings of conventional models of mentoring, exploring their pitfalls for the growing non-tenure track faculty population. They advocate for a more cooperative, group-based approach they call the Strategic Collaboration Method.
