Identity Crises: Confessions to a Birth Mother
DAMAGES is a memoir of a brave young poet, artist, performer and writer whose life story holds as many elements of a richly detailed fictional novel as well as moments of eloquent poetry, philosophical views gained from living through the rise and fall of communist Yugoslavia and the subsequent fracture of that country into the parcels we now know, observations of the surface and the core needs ...

Incredible and Heart-warming
I watched the movie Alpha Dog a couple of years ago after hearing the story behind it. Then I was blessed to cross the path of a wonderful and inspiring author. That author happens to be Michael Mehas who wrote this heart warming and compelling story. I throughly enjoyed reading this book so much that I finished it in two days. The way Michael brought to life each character of the book was as if ...

Fantastic Read
This is one of those books that once I started reading, I could not stop. It really was that interesting! It's a mix of gorilla life, human life and the author's exploits in Uganda. The author did a great job of blending all of this together in a book that can make you sad in one paragraph, laugh in another, and amaze you in yet another paragraph.

Eric Rankin

iUniverse Star, 2009

Moving and Profound Story of Transformation, Prophecy and Joy
As the author of a best-selling non-fiction book about the "11:11" phenomenon, I was so excited and curious to read Eric Rankin's novel, which tied in the 11:11 enigma and the coming prophetic year of 2012 with a beautiful storyline about the amazing bonds between humans and dolphins, and humans and humans to boot. How could a novel quite pull off such a big order? But Rankin not only did pull it ...

Spoke to My Soul
I read Moore's book and was very impressed with each of the case studies. In some way, each person's story spoke to my own situation in a controlling relationship. There were many times that I had to put the book aside because it hurt too much to keep reading. As I kept turning the pages, I saw all of the patterns in my own life and then the lightbulb went off and I thought, "That's me!" If you ...

Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic

New yogi's perspective
The author has the ability to provide personal life experiences (that we all have in common) to explain yoga philosopy in a way that allows a lay person or new yogi to understand and grasp immediately and apply it on/off the mat. Prior to my weekly yoga practice my knowledge of "yoga" were the common stereotypes. I had no knowlege of asana, yama, niyama, pranayama, etc. I picked up the book ...

Great book.
My wife wanted this so badly, as she remembers just loving it years ago. So, I got it for her as a present, and she read it in about 2-3 nights time. She's been bugging me to read it, and perhaps I will.

A Page Turner
Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. The author does a wonderful job of creating suspense without adding gore. Although it carries the label of novel, it is based on a true story with extensive research, which shows. I highly recommend it.

Without Grace

Carol Hoenig

iUniverse Star, 2005

Graceful writing. A literary treasure for those seeking a good read....
Carol Hoenig's literary adventure is no less fascinating than her highly polished, beautifully written novel. "Without Grace" has all the markings of an excellent novel: interesting, well-defined characters that rope our emotions, strong dialogue, succinct yet lyrical prose, and a good tale. Yet, Hoenig could not get the attention of the publishing world. Or rather, once her novel had been ...

THE FIRST IN A GREAT TRILOGY
To my fellow hopeless romantics, and I know there are quite a few of you, I want to recommend Ronald L. Donaghe's trilogy, THE CONTINUING JOURNALS OF WILL BARNETT, three books so full of simple honesty and heartfelt sincerity that even a few cynics out there may be swayed. UNCLE SEAN, LANCE and ALL OVER HIM share the unique perspective of a country boy who discovers love and his homosexual nature ...

Mississippi Flyway Soars
Nel Rand's soaring prose transports the reader over time and space like the birds of her Mississippi Flyway. Her richly imagined characters--Ellie Moon, the brave protagonist who needs to confront her past, Tiny Moon, her vile-but-lovable father, and the despicable Sheriff Dover, one of the more evil antagonists in recent memory--crawl up inside you and latch on. With a voice that stirs echoes ...

Warbird Recovery....Buy it!
When Gordon sent me the book, I was excited to dig into it, but life is busy, and I didn't get a chance to read it right away. I am sorry I delayed reading it as it is an excellent story. I couldn't put it down once started. Gordon's undying passion and perseverance in the recovery of these WWII relics is impressive. I thought that I have had some pretty crazy adventures moving aircraft around ...

Attached at the Heart: 8 Proven Parenting Principles for Raising Connected and Compassionate Children

Barbara Nicholson, Lysa Parker

iUniverse Star, 2009

Awesome book! Would recommend it to every parent!
Attached at the Heart is a fantastic read -- a true guide for parents in learning how to raise their children to be confident, yet compassionate, adults without using many of the techniques so common in our society, such as letting a child cry herself to sleep, or using timeouts or spanking. Many people would refer to this approach as Attachment Parenting, but to me, it's just parenting...at ...

An Incredible Journey
Jefferey S. Williams delivers the adventures of Anne Bonney marvellously. He writes with clarity, and does an amazing job with imagery and emotional expression through the eyes of the female pirate. It was a definite page turner--I wanted more and more at the end of every chapter. Williams' characters in the book were quite captivating making me want to somehow jump into the storyline to join on ...

I Cannot Tell A Lie: The True Story of George Washington's African American Descendants

American History 101
The book is a great read, and contains documented evidence of the very strong connection of the Fords to the Washington family. I don't think you will find ANY slaveowners leaving a former slave 160 acres of land in a will without a family connection. That fact alone is proof to me of the relationship. Of course, it is easy to blame it on the ubiquitous "nephew," as happened with the Thomas ...
