A Father's Memoir of His Exceptional Daughter - Uncomplicated Life
A Father's Memoir of His Exceptional Daughter - Uncomplicated Life

Review:I finished An Uncomplicated Life in two days. I couldn't put it down. Jillian's journey parallels my son's journey in so many ways I was able to relate to. And Paul Daugherty's writing is engaging and flows so beautifully. I am thrilled to read of the adventures of adults with Down syndrome. I love the way Paul and his wife Kerry gave Jillian the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. Many parents protect their children/adults with Down syndrome to their detriment.
I love that you didn... Read more

Raising the Next Generation to Win with Money - Smart Money Smart Kids
Raising the Next Generation to Win with Money - Smart Money Smart Kids

Review:If you are familiar with the Ramsey family, this goes right along with the rest of their material. If you are not familiar with them, you need to be.

I'd recommend reading "The Total Money Makeover" first, as many of the concepts refered to in "Smart Money Smart Kids" can be found here.

This should be required reading for every American. Read more

Dealing with the Mother You Had - or Still Contend With
Dealing with the Mother You Had - or Still Contend With

Review:You probably need to read this book anyway. I actually knew I did, but wasn't sure what to do about them. This is what sets this book apart. Not only can you identify the type of Mom you have (or more than one type) and the issues and immaturity you may have, but you learn how to become "reparented" into adulthood. The emphasis is not the typical "parent bashing" you get from other books, but a balanced and sensitive approach to becoming a responsible adult. Read more

The No-BS Guide to Getting What You Want - Stop Saying You're Fine

Review:There are some good points throughout the book, but it has a lot of parts where so much is written without really making any useful point. I was really looking forward to reading this book after watching her motivational talk on youtube. I couldn't recommend this book. Read more

House of Secrets
House of Secrets

Review:This story was exceptional, as I've come to expect from Tracie Peterson. The way she is able to twist several story lines into one major theme keeps the reader fully engaged. It's hard to put her books down, which is the types of stories I like best. Read more

How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad - or Desperate
How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad - or Desperate

Review:If it wasn't for its horribly cheap paper quality, I'd have given a 4 or 5 star review based on its content. It's rough on my fingers every time I turn the page. It not only feels cheap, but also looks cheap. The same review applies for all of her other books, unfortunately - same cheap editor. Read more

The Twelve Gifts of Birth (Twelve Gifts Series)
The Twelve Gifts of Birth (Twelve Gifts Series)

Review:THE TWELVE GIFTS OF BIRTH is a beautiful story for adults and children. My recent experience with buying books from different sellers on Amazon has been a little disconcerting. I bought several books sold as new recently from different buyers. Four books were inscribed by previous owners. When I buy a new book it should not have been a previous gift. I was reimbursed for the books. The current book I bought was also previously inscribed. I am complaining because none of the sellers said the book... Read more
