Love this book...
I want to crochet specific words to hang as Christmas tree ornaments and couldn't find a stand alone type alphabet; I even tried to design one. I got nowhere fast with that idea. This book has a wonderful alphabet crochet pattern. It has many original motifs of various sizes, shapes and designs, for example: stars, triangles paisley, squares, hearts, a leaf, ladybug, flowers and circles. And, it ...

Finding Alice
I read this book my Freshman year in High School. I ordered it and read it again now that I'm in my Freshman year of College and I loved it just as much as I did the first time I read it. I'm a fan of Melody Carlson's work and I consider this book to be among my favorites.

VERY AWESOME AND COOL BOOK, THE BEST!!!
This is an awesome book. It is full of amazing suspense and drama, yet so realistic at the same time. Its not like those books that are too great to be true, and just aren't possible. When I read this book I was dying to get my hands on book No.2, and it leaves you with a melancholy feeling in your heart, because good things and bad things both happen at the same time and you end up not knowing ...

Bad Connection = Good Read
It's hard to find the perfect balance in teen fiction, where there is the right amount of realism, a strong dose of God that isn't cheesy or over the top, and suspense / action to keep things going. Melody Carlson is nobody new to the world of teen books, having already put out three other wildly successful series (TrueColors, Notes From A Spinning Planet, and Diary of a Teenage Girl), and with ...

Share this book with your kids!
This book is a tradition for our family -- our kids eagerly anticipate getting it out of the "Easter" box every spring. The illustrations are very beautiful yet very kid-friendly -- I *loved* the fact that they show children who (despite their era-appropriate clothing) look like any child you'll see today riding down the street on a skateboard. Also, Jesus has dark hair -- the illustrator ...

Restoration Resource - Can't Recommend this Enough
I was walking through my local bookstore when my eyes caught sight of this book. The title drew me in, as I am grieving the death of my brother. I saw the author and thought, "Oh, no - not that Codependency woman..." Melody Beattie - who was the first author I ever knew to use the term "Co-Dependent" a term that had come for many to mean "whiney person who thinks of himself/herself as a ...

Melody Platt

Rainbow Books, 1992

If You've Been There..
I know, and work with Melody Platt. When I heard that she had authored a book, I couldn't wait to read it. I am a book lover, and was impressed with the notion that I knew someone who was published. I too am a survior of incest, and while it's effects on me as an adult seemed long gone, I quickly realized, in reading Mel's book, that those feelings of shame, of guilt, and of fear, were right ...
