Review:*Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*

“That’s life in the Heartland.”

What’s life in the Heartland like? Monster corn that isn’t even safe to eat is the only crop that isn’t outlawed, floating cities above that treat the Heartlanders like slaves, and having your spouse chosen by the Empyrean government even if you’re in love with another. Life in the Heartland seems to be a s***ty existence. Of course you can always hope you w... Read more

Review:This is an unusual story of a psychically gifted woman who is drifting through life encountering numerous bumps in the road. If you want a slightly off-beat story...this one is it! Highly recommend! Read more

Review:A literacy volunteer brought this book to my attention. It is a great way to introduce poetry, a writing journal, and learning new words in a manner that readers and beginners of any age can appreciate. I can see how Jack's story would lend itself to discussion. The idea that sentences and poetry can take many forms...varied .spaces between words or thoughts, different size fonts, written in circles or other recognizable shapes, and that not all poems involve rhyming couplets is liberating. It a... Read more

Review:I remember when I was a kid absolutely loving this book! As a child, I loved the heroic tale of Balto and enjoyed the detailed pictures. Now, almost 20 years later as an artist, I still enjoy the illustrations and simple plot. Great for kids! Read more

Review:I was pleasantly surprised. The story was like a picture book. The clarity of a Hollywood in the past is remarkable. I'm a native of Los Angeles and have heard and seen some of the old pictures of that time. A Big fan of the early films. My parents went to some of the clubs mentioned. The author brought all those people to life for me. Even William Randolf Hearst. Thank you! Martin Turnbull. Read more

Review:It is also interesting from an adult perspective because Mark Kelly explains the background of his idea for the book and relates it to his own experence. Also the book has interesting facts about NASA and the space program. Read more

Review:This came highly recommended by an English teacher friend of mine. Though it is a large book, much of it is taken up with an inventive use of illustration and historical photography. It is a treasure and I have purchased several copies as gifts for friends with children. Read more

Review:Three of the Clayborne brothers' unusual courtships are described in this book. The storylines include a woman being escorted to meet her mail-order husband, a pregnant widow in need of protection, and a gospel singer on the run after a thief tries to steal the church money.
I can't believe these books were once published on their own. All of the plots were rushed and thinly developed. The characters were barely distinguishable from each other. There was scarcely any romantic interaction... Read more

Review:The story is all about realizing that family isn't about blood or skin color. Family is about love. If we all remember that without skin we are the same, we could be happier and safer in this world of ours.

The characters seem real, each one in the story you have met at some point in your life. How you have dealt with them may determine how you would have responded to Adam, Douglas, Cole, Travis and of course Mary Rose. I believe I married a man much like Cole which is probably why he wa... Read more
