Roz Van Meter

Sourcebooks, Inc., 2007

What A Find
I finished reading this book over the weekend and it is now marked up, underlined and dog eared. Roz cuts to the heart of the matter without a lot of fluff and fru fru to wade through. It has made me look deep into some things I have avoided and with her insight and way of saying things it is all so much more clear. I have a list of friends I am going to buy copies for. I have never been one to ...

James Conroyd Martin

St. Martin's Griffin, 2004

An Historical Fiction Treasure!
I found this historical fiction text to be absolutely enthralling! It has not only provided me with hours of enjoyable, page-turning reading, but has also given me great insight into my Polish ancestry and heritage. The strength, spirit, and heart of the Polish people--MY people--is wonderfully portrayed within the pages of this book. I'm so looking forward to receiving Mr. Martin's sequel, ... 		  
  







  
  
Understanding Girls With AD/HD32 reviews
Kathleen G. Nadeau

Advantage Books, 2000

Book: Understanding Girls with ADHD
I would highly recommend this book to parents and guardians of girls with ADHD. I saw many of my daughter's behaviors and symptoms very clearly at each stage of her life - how I wish I had had this book when she was younger! We were fortunate to have a pre-school teacher who was experienced enough to point out to us the "red flags" she was observing with our daughter's behavior in the classroom ... 		  
  







  
  
Miss Fannie's Hat (Picture Puffins)34 reviews
Jan Karon

Puffin, 2001

AN AUSTRALIAN REVIEW
My 81 year old mother is an avid fan of all Jan Karon's novels including the Mitford Cookbook & Patches of Godlight (all purchased from Amazon). I purchased "Miss Fannie's Hat" from Amazon to give her even though it is really a children's book. The message the book contains is ageless and worth a read, no matter how young or old you are! It is a beautifully illustrated book and one we intend ...

A Picture of Freedom: The Diary of Clotee, a Slave Girl, Belmont Plantation, Virginia 1859 (Dear America ...60 reviews
Patricia C. McKissack

Scholastic Inc., 1997

Wonderful
This is a wonderful, heartwarming story that is perfect for introducing the plight of slaves to children without frightening the children to death. Clotee, though a slave, retains power from her masters by learning to read and write and keeping a hidden diary of her observations. Though this is admittedly unrealistic (where is she getting all these writing materials), the power she retains in ...

Your Father's Voice: Letters for Emmy About Life with Jeremy--and Without Him After 9/1115 reviews
Lyz Glick, Dan Zegart

St. Martin's Griffin, 2005

This is an amazing book...
This book was so beautifully and eloquently written. I read it over several days, it is almost impossible to put down. This book is a major tear jerker, though. It has been a long time since I have literally sobbed while reading a book. You actually feel sad when it is over, like you just want to read it again. It was heartbreaking to see what an amazing father he was to his baby daughter, ...

Luther's Small Catechism, with Explanation14 reviews
Martin Luther

Concordia Publishing House, 2005

Vital Part Of My Move To Lutheranism
This small catechism, though not a deal clencher on its own, certainly played a vital role in my move from the contemporary American evangelical movement to the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. If you're looking for solid teaching on the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, The Apostles Creed, the Lord's Supper, baptism, and Confession and Absolution, then the writing in this book will aid you ...

The Little Black Apron: A Single Girl's Guide to Cooking with Style and Grace11 reviews
Jodi Citrin, Melissa Gibson, ...

Polka Dot Press, 2007

Wonderful!
So, I'm a bit over 20 something, a mother and wife, but I found this book fantastic! Humorous and educational, this book contains anecdotal information that I will make sure to pass along to my teen age daughter who's so not interested in a domestic career that I'm afraid pop-tarts and easy mac may be her aspiration to cooking! The recipes are not only easy, but tasty and the descriptions ... 		  
  







  
  
Get With It, Girls! Life Is Competition10 reviews
Teri Clemens

Diamond Communications, 2001

Outstanding book!
Let me just start by saying that I've had this book for 2 years and could never get my daughter and husband to read it. So, on our way to yet another tourney, I had 5 hours to read it out loud to them. They loved it! My husband is a coach for our local girls softball team, and we had just won the district championship and were going to "state" a couple of weeks later, and my husband liked the ... 		  
  







  
  
Fabulous Nobodies: A Novel About a Girl Who's in Love With Her Clothes14 reviews
Lee Tulloch

Harpercollins, 1990

Given this book as gift a dozen times
The writing is masterful, the characters are alive, the story has a compelling mythical power, it should've won a pulitzer. It is wonderful and splendid and shall never perish. It has a deep, soulful message. It has an archetypal power, it shall become a classic. It could be the basis of a great Broadway musical, and we know they are not making great musicals nowadays. Just as My Fair Lady is a ...
