Tenna Merchent
Joyous Messenger, Inc, 2007
Read this book
Tenna Merchent's honest account of her efforts to recover her little boy "on the brink" of autism addresses the many elements necessary for recovery when a family is confronted with the trainwreck of metabolic causes and issues that underlie this disorder which the medical community still overlooks in diagnosing autism as a whole-body disorder (as opposed to simply a "behavioral problem").

But No Elephants24 reviews
Jerry Smath
Parents Magazine Press, 1980
Still a hit after all these years!
This was one of my very favorite books as a child and all these years later (I'm 25 now), my mother will still occasionally call and ask if I'd like to buy an elephant! :)
A great book that I can't wait to share with my children one day. I had several of these "Parents Magazine Press" books as a child and they were all wonderful.

Dancing Barefoot: five short but true stories about life in the so-called space age119 reviews
Wil Wheaton, Ben Claassen III
Monolith Pr, 2003
I laughed, I gushed...
...I got a little teary-eyed. This is an excellent book. It's funny and compelling and Wil shows what a great writer he is. I wanted more and I'm upset that I didn't buy "Just A Geek" first. I'll be remedying that as soon as I'm finished writing this review. If you just like a good story whether it be about Star Trek or just being a regualar everyday person, or if you want a good laugh, I ...

Michael Dubruiel
Our Sunday Visitor, 2002
A concise and well-written overview of the Mass
I converted to Catholicism 4 years ago and still found many things clarified and/or pointed out in this book. It is well done and I highly recommend. In fact, I've shared with our Deacon and RCIA director for their use.

Gerda Weissmann Klein
Farrar Straus Giroux, 1985
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.
What a strong girl Gerda is. she was told to never give up her boots and in the end it is one thing that saved her life after marching in a blizzard half frozen to death. How she survived is nothing short of a miracle.
Reading this when you are in a hard time reminds ...

Great motivator written by a great motivator!
A. L. Williams was a football coach... a man who loved his guys and pushed them to excel in life. And he lived what he preached! You want to be inspired to just DO IT? Get this book.
Williams emphasizes that you have to work hard and be PERSISTENT. Just NEVER, EVER quit. And that's the key. Know what you want, DESIRE it and go for it. Don't let anybody steal your dream. Just do it and hang in ...

Nothing But the Truth (and a Few White Lies)20 reviews
Justina Chen Headley
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
One Girl's Summer of Change
A great strength of Nothing But the Truth is the interaction of its female characters. Patty, our protagonist, is at the heart of the story, but we see how the other girls and women in her life help her grow and change. When we discover why Patty's mother is the way she is, for us as much as for Patty, life takes on new levels. When Jasmine pushes Patty outside her comfort zone, we wonder what ...

#1 BOOK FOR FILM & TV WRITERS
There are a lot of books out there on writing for the entertainment industry, but this was the one book that got me started.

This is the one book that anyone writing for film or ...

Jack Simon
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2002
This Book Is For All Kids, But Especially My Sister, Libby.
This book is wonderful. We are sharing them with all of the children at our grief and loss camp and we hope it gives them comfort during such a difficult time. It is important for children to know that they are not alone in their grief and we will use this book to open up dialog so they can begin to understand. We will keep copies of the books at our hospice for all of our families to read.

5 stars isn't enough!!!
Not only is this book the bargain of the year, but it is literally the best diet book ever written. This lady tells her story from the beginning to what is going on today. It is like reading her diary. There are no gaps to the story-which I really appreciated. She tells you every step she took to lose the weight including what exercise she did along the way. She also tells you how your family and ...

My Name's Friday : The Unauthorized but True Story of Dragnet and the Films of Jack Webb18 reviews
Michael Hayde
Cumberland House Publishing, 2001
The facts...and much more
This is a must if you are collecting the radio shows, original TV series, or the '67-'70 version. A lot of the 50's series is on DVD, but they are scattered on all sorts of compilations. This book helps keep track of what you've got. I particularly enjoyed hearing from the extras that Webb used religiously.
But beyond Dragnet, there's a lot of interesting stuff here, how Webb was a jazz nut, ...

The story is about Jess, a budding comedienne who has been trying without success to gain the affection of her long-time crush, Ben. Unfortunately, she is constantly being overshadowed by her "perfect" friend Flora. As a result, she'll go to any lengths to ...

I have 2 adult stubborn Bichons that I adopted as adults. They were never obedience trained as pups. This book addresses all of the issues I have with them.

They are a work in progress but I see light at the end of the tunnel. **Citywulf - Dogs don't think like humans. Joy only recommended grabbing the ...
