Gerda Weissman Klein
Penguin Audio, 1997
Survial of the Human Spirit~A deeply moving story.
This is one of the first Holocaust survival stories that I read. It is by far one that has stayed with me in the most detail.
I'm not going to give the story away I'm just going to say you will cry and rejoyce in this story. It will touch you to core of your very being.
I must read for EVERYONE!

Find Joy In the Most Desparate of Situations
Change Me Into Zeus's Daughter is a powerful and poignant story of impoverished life as experienced by Barbara Moss.

Individual Power: Reclaiming Your Core, Your Truth, and Your Life70 reviews
Barbara Rose
Rose Group, 2003
Teaching You the Simplicity of Achieving Self Empowerment
I knew I would love this book from the moment I started reading it! Barbara Rose puts it simple, but not understated. Some of my favorite lines, "But we do have individual power to create rainbows from the rivers of tears we have shed." and "The truth shall set you free. If you do settle for less, then you are not living your truth. You are, once again, riding your river with each leg in a ...

Wonderful story
This is a great story about giving back something in life. Great gift idea when combined with a real Lupine plant or seeds. Then the story and flower will be remembered forever.

Stop Being the String Along: A Relationship Guide to Being THE ONE123 reviews
Barbara Rose
Rose Group, 2005
Truly a smart woman's guide to healthy relating!
I wished I had found Barbara's book years ago. Being single for 10 years and dating, most of what she writes I've already learned through trial and error. I found a lot of validation through her book and answered many questions on why it couldn't or didn't work the way I had hoped. Save yourself from the dramas of dating and read her book. It's a quick read and highlights the key areas of ...

If God Was Like Man: A Message from God to All of Humanity149 reviews
Barbara Rose
Rose Group, 2003
'If God Was Like Man' is an AMAZING Book!
I read this book from cover to cover two times in a row and am still amazed at the clarity given by God in the messages for 'all of humanity.'
The only part I felt myself entirely change my view was regarding the death penalty, which I used to advocate. Since reading this book I no longer do, and the reasons are so simply put, I can't imagine anyone not changing their views.
The areas ...

Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell, 1847 (Dear America)164 reviews
Kristiana Gregory
Live Oak Media, 2006
Wonderful
I love 'Oregon Trail' stories and this one was no exception. The story is stunningly written, and a careful line is trod between emphasizing the dangers and discomforts of the trail without making the story seem scary or unpleasant to the reader.
My only real gripe about this book (and not even a big enough gripe to drop a star, so take it for the whining that it is) is that the adult ...

I purchased this book simply to replace my original copy, which I loaned out and which was never returned. Reading this book has been a favorite part of my Christmas for many years. While I regret losing my old copy, I am thankful I will now be able to carry on this tradition.

Truthfully...
"The Truth" is a wonderful chance all of us to travel back to simpler times and the dawn of girl power. Dr. Holstein's book shares the joys ,concerns and everyday adventures of a preteen girl who is remarkable in her ordinariness. Holstein cleverly leaves us wanting more and wondering if the writer remains true to herself in adulthood by honoring the heedful promises she lists. A must read ...

A Must Book for Every Child's Library
This was my favorite book to read to my daughter when she was little. It was also just MY FAVORITE BOOK to look at. The illustrations are beautiful. The story has few words, so you are also able to use your imagination while looking at the pictures and thinking about the story.
I highly recommend adding this book to your collection - whether or not you have children or grandchlidren.

When Europa Rode the Bull45 reviews
Barbara Berot
Streetcar Books, 2004
Nicely done!
A friend of mine gave me this book because my fiancee is a member of the St. Andrews' Society in Philadelphia and she thought the setting would be of interest to him. I picked up "When Europa Rode the Bull" walking out the door to take a plane to San Francisco. I'm glad I did.
This is a big book--more than 600 pages but a real "page turner," making its length irrelevant. I became quickly ...

Dorothy Gilman
Recorded Books - Library Edition, 1989
The First Mrs. Pollifax Novel of the Series - Very Enjoyable
If you're new to the Mrs. Pollifax series of mystery books - this is the very first. As such, it's a great place to begin. You'll be completely entertained learning how this grandmother goes to work - undercover - for the United States government. She really is unexpected, as the title declares. She's everything you would wish a grandmother to be - but she's extraordinarily clever, notices ...

Seven Daughters & Seven Sons42 reviews
Barbara Cohen, Bahija Lovejoy
Not Avail, 1995
great!
this story was somewhat reminiscent of the alanna series, what with the cross dressing to fulfill a dream. i'm not all that well versed in arabian culture, but from what i know of it this story seemed to be a valid representation. Buran is one of seven daughters, and of course in a patriarchal society this is not the best of luck as your daughters can't work or (in this case) even go out into ...
