A Memoir of Twins Separated and Reunited - Identical Strangers
A Memoir of Twins Separated and Reunited - Identical Strangers

Review:This book, written as a first person narrative, seems like a stretched out version of an article in Redbook! The point is made early on that they find one another. I was wondering at that point what else would come. It had interesting bits of information then... interspersed throughout are random research on twins. It was as though they needed to fill pages. This book was not particularly well written and the style was tedious. Revelations was not outstanding and ending predictable. I felt it ... Read more

The White House Boys: An American Tragedy

Review:Reading The White House Boys was painful. I hate to think that treatment like this happened in America, but I know that sick people gravitate toward the weak and helpless. This was a testament to the memories of this young boy. Read more

The Middle Place
The Middle Place

Review:An excellent read for anyone who has just received bad news and has started to feel sorry for themselves. Yes, we need to be concerned but we also need to know that there is hope. We also need to know in our hearts that God would never wish these sicknesses on us. I think Kelly did a a good job writing thses story. Read more

Surprise Me: A Novel
Surprise Me: A Novel

Review:Sophie Kinsella is a reliable author, in a good way. One could say her books are formulaic and always have a happy ending, but sometimes that is just what you want, and while tou can see several plot points a mile away, Kinsella still makes the journey enjoyable, primarily through her believable characters and zany, funny situations.

Another great thing about Kinsella is that she writes about women at all stages of life. Some women are older and alone, others are single and clueless. With... Read more

Your Life Story in Your Own Words - A Mother's Legacy
Your Life Story in Your Own Words - A Mother's Legacy

Review:Not very personal. Like answering questions in a lame interview for a stranger who doesn't really want to know you. After I saw the father version featured on TV, I was expecting something more in depth where I could really express my hopes and lessons I had learned to my child when she got older. I think this is boring, and I have no interest in writing in it. I'm sure she would have little interest in reading it when the time came. Read more

And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook--What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss
And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook--What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss

Review:My wonderful caring school principal recommended this book to the staff as we have a population that is rather heavily burdened with poverty and other stresses. The book details the lives of several children, their histories and what Dr. Perry did to treat each child. What is incredible is the effect of poverty, neglect and abuse on the brain development. You need to read this if you work with children or parent them.... Read more
