Stan's Cousin Speaks
My mother, (Stan's aunt), insisted that I read A Single Star. Knowing Stan as a lover of all things South Carolinian, I presumed " A Single Star" would be a history of the state, and/or a re-visiting of it's 19th century efforts to rethink the US Constitution. I do remember any number of conversations on the subject of "northern aggression" with the author when we were a bit younger. What a ...

Broadway, 2008

Absolutely Delightful
You don't have to be a sailor or chef to enjoy this book. David Shalleck firmly placed me in the galley and on the deck of this sailing yacht. I could taste the salt air and the wonderful meals he prepared. A wonderful summer read!

Florence Chatzigianis

AzurAlive Press, 2008

Makes Me Want to Hike in France!
I've hiked in France, but I had no idea what a beautiful and interesting region Cote d'Azur was until I read Florence Chatzigianis's, "26 Gorgeous Hikes on the Western Cote d'Azur." Now I want to go there, her guidebook in hand, and try out the trails she describes so vividly! Chatzigianis's book is not only informative, but also easy to use. She's organized the 26 hikes by region, which ...

Mary's World : Love, War, and Family Ties in Nineteenth-century Charleston

27 reviews
Richard N. Cote

Corinthian Books, 2000

A MUST READ
FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN ANTEBELLUM CULTURE AND THE CIVIL WAR, THIS IS A MUST READ. EVEN FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T A STUDENT OF THE ERA, "MARY'S WORLD" IS STILL A FASCINATING GLIMPSE OF THE LIFE OF AN ELITE SOUTHERN PLANTER FAMILY. TAKEN FROM FAMILY PAPERS, THE STORY OF THE PRINGLES IS A FIRST HAND ACCOUNT OF THEIR INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. THE READER GETS TO WATCH WILLIAM BULL AND MARY ...

Clippings from Orene's Garden: A Sourthern Gardener's Year

Orene Horton

Cote Literary Group, 2003

Walking with Orene through her winter garden
This afternoon is gray and cold, but I've really been unaware of it, as I've had the companionship of Orene as she "walked me through" her winter garden. With her today, I have seen things I have never dreamed existed outside in winter. Having lived all my life in North Carolina, I have always taken for granted the flowers and trees that are indigenous to this area. My mother had a "green ...

Now I Sea!: Spiritual Life Lessons from the Sea

5 reviews
Jenny L. Cote

1st Books Library, 2003

Charting a Course with God
Through her book, Now I Sea! , Jenny has taken us to some spiritual ideas and insights we may not have looked at and some we may have seen and forgotten in time. The earlier chapters have an almost playful tone, with the genuine enthusiasm of a wide-eyed youngster pulling the reader by the hand to look at newly discovered wonders. We take sailing trips, encounter rough seas, swim with dolphins, ...

Death by HMO: The Jennifer Gigliello Story

10 reviews
Dorothy Rose Cancilla, Richard N. Cote

Robert D. Reed Publishers, 2000

A Daughter's Death, a Mother's Grief
This is a very disturbing indictment of modern health care. Dorothy Cancilla exhibits an extraordinary amount of restraint in recalling the preventable death of her daughter at the hands of inept doctors and an unforgiving system. It's ironic that a organization whose charter is to maintain people's health can actually compromise their lives when the bottom line might be in jeopardy. Kudos to ...

The Redneck Riviera

23 reviews
Richard N. Cote

Corinthian Books, 2001

The Truth Hurts
These are scary times. "Make love not war" may have been the mantra of the 1960's and 70's, but gone are the days of mild marijuana and Boone's Farm Apple wine, Deadheads and Woodstock. Now teens attend "Raves", and the drugs of choice are ecstasy and meth. Ignorance really is the mother of all prejudice, not bliss. This is what a divorced mother named Dolly discovers in The Redneck Riviera. Not ...

Patriot Dreams : The Murder of Colonel Rich Higgins

16 reviews
Robin Higgins, Richard N. Cote

Marine Corps Association, 1999

a new chapter in the history of guts and loyalty
Let me be clear: by guts and loyalty, I mean Robin Higgins. I do *not* mean the leaders who, incredibly, abandoned her husband in his captivity. _Patriot Dreams_ is LTC Robin Higgins' story of the way she kept two oaths that she never imagined would be brought into conflict: her duty to her husband and her oath as an officer. What stands out about the book is the composure with which she ...

Retribution

John Copeland

Cote Literary Group, 2000

A Must Read
After reading John Copeland's action novel Retribution I feel I must recommend his novel to every American. It is time we all recognize the real threat to our way of life. Before starting Retribution I read the reviews and noted words like, action filled novel, magnificently written, uncomfortably plausible, and could and probably will happen. After reading John Copeland's novel I can say without ...

Women in the Days of Cathedrals

Regine Pernoud, Pernoud Regine, ...

Ignatius Press, 1998

True Feminism existed in the Middle Ages, not Today!
I think all women, particularly Catholic women, should read this. Studying primary sources, Ms. Pernoud shows that during the feudal era in the Middle Ages, around 1100-1300 AD, women were intelligent, capable, and highly influential citizens, involved in all areas of life, including medical, professional, education, political and administration. Never again have women had such influential roles ...

Provence Interiors/Interieurs De Provence (in English)

4 reviews
Lisa Lovatt-Smith

Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 1996

The Real Provence (of the rich)
This book is a gorgeously photographed journey into the homes of wealthy and/or very stylish residents of Provence. Not a book of typical 'French Country Interiors', it covers a wide range of styles from super modern to 17th century grandeur, from 'to the manor born', to gypsy caravans (stunning). As with all things French I adore the way they so gracefully combine the old and the new. These ...

Albert Whitman & Company, 2003

Great book
I looked for a while trying to find a 4th of July to read to younger kids that was interesting, had good illustrations and is short enough to keep thier interest. Believe it or not most 4th of July storybooks are somewhat wordy. Then I found this book and my quest had ended. The story follows a young girl through the day and shows different activities that people in her town do for the holiday. ...

Albert Whitman & Company, 1998

Lessons Learned
This is a delightful summer story about friendship and imagination at the beach. This book can open a day of play with children coming up with their own uses for a small rubber shoe. A lesson learned is although things may not begin the way you think they should, they can turn out wonderful. Beautifully illustrated.

In the Shadow of the Sacred Grove

4 reviews
Carol Spindel

Vintage, 1989

Africa made beautiful
Spindel's book humanizes and softens our often bleak view of Africa. The adventures of the American student of West African language and culture remind us that people are not so different as they seem. Furthermore, she reminds us that before European interference, there was gentility and natural wealth in African society. Highly recommended for those readers who desire another perspective on the ...
