To get what she wants, Ruth has a knack for airing other folks' dirty laundry. Inspired by true events, this sinister novella involves a white guidance counselor (Ruth Banner) at Riverside High, and Carlos Jones, a student-athlete, and self-proclaimed bad-boy. With Carlos' assistance, Ruth, orchestrates a half-witted plot to become the embattled school's new principal. But her nefarious plan is cut short after learning that the recently vacated position is being filled by Diana Meeks, a young, energetic, and headstrong African-American female, who, ironically was recruited by the outgoing principal, Dr. Lanier. Ruth is devastated. Her nurturing reputation with the students of Riverside, along with her family's strong social and political ties to the community, and not to mention the sure certainty that she and Carlos have successfully neutralized any competition, all help to fuel Ruth's confidence that she will become the obvious choice to replace Dr. Lanier, who, suspiciously announces that he is retiring after a thirty-year tenure. The sequence of events sets the scene for explosive drama, teetering along the lines of race, class and sex, while threatening to expose some of the school's most sordid secrets.

This is the award-winning biography of the complex, brilliant, and enlightened Buddhist teacher, Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz. Combining the methods of Zen and Tantric Buddhism, Lenz set challenges and led adventures for his students, ranging from one-on-one encounters to groups of 1,000 people. As an American born in 1950 and growing up in the turbulent 60s and early 70s, he brought a fresh and realistic view to teaching Buddhism for the West. He focused on his students learning from experience, whether in still, perfect meditation or ethical software sales--and sought Western ways to bring students to enlightenment. Enlightenment is real, an achievable state of mind, but it requires radical change and letting go of old patterns that stick to the self like glue. Rama was tireless and committed to helping his students. He was honest and funny. This biography details the years from his birth through his life-changing journey to Nepal as a teenager and all the fast-paced years that followed. As the teachings in this book illustrate, with his enlightened awareness he could sense your expectations, fears, and ego-blocks and always confound them. He was always teaching. Over 100 people contributed to the facts in this biography. It was first published in 2013 with the title, "Rama: Gaze in My Direction." "This is definitely a book that changes your perspective on life for the better" --Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Benjamin Franklin Award Review "This fascinating biography captures the wisdom of a genuine, compelling teacher who combined absolute miracles with humor, fun and adventure." --Lynn V. Andrews, author of The Medicine Woman Series"Frederick P. Lenz leaps off the pages of this book, showing that magic and enlightenment are available to everyone right here, right now. -Judith-Simmer Brown, Author and Professor of Religious Studies, Naropa University Rama - Dr. Frederick Lenz quietly and humblu filled large auditoriums with sparkling golden light. He made huge audiences shake with laughter as he filled them with the light of the superconscious. Omens of an "unusual, not special life" (Rama's words) began in 1953 when, as a toddler, he slipped into samadhi--a timeless state of immersion in infinite light--in his mother's garden. His journey continued after high school, when he flew from Connecticut to Kathmandu, Nepal with a homemade snowboard, seeking to snow-surf the highest mountains he could find. On his first downhill run, he plowed into an aged Buddhist monk who told the incredulous teen their meeting was destiny, that his past life enlightenment would return, and he would help millions of people. Upon his return to the U.S., he earned his Ph.D., began to teach on his own, and implemented new American ways of placing Westerners on the path to enlightenment, beginning with higher and happier states of mind. As his own realization grew, the energy he emanated was like a huge, powerful, benevolent force. This biography includes interviews and stories from over 100 students and colleagues, each with a different perspective. Rama did not just speak about enlightenment; he modeled it. Compassionate, funny, boundary-bashing, wise, prescient, reverent, irreverent, he was the ultimate Zen koan.
