Tears for the Second Chance
It has been a very long time since I cried all the way through a book. With pleasure. I read half of it in one sitting, unwilling to break the spell of the stories and emotions it contains. For the horses and the children portrayed in the book this remarkable woman's life is a testimony to the value of faith and love. For the rest of us, we can take inspiration and do our best to do what we can ...

Be prepared to cry...
This book gives us details on shelter dogs, who the author Traer Scott, has met in her travels. So touching, uplifting and heartbreaking, especially when we learn so much about them and are told at the end which dogs lived and were adopted...and which ones were not (sniffle)...If this book doesn't convince you to adopt from an animal shelter, then I don't know what will! A portion of the proceeds ...

Dog Lover's Treat
In other reviews, some people said they "didn't like the language" or "the way the book was written". I am not sure what they were expecting! I have been a lang. arts teacher for over 30 years, and I thought this was a great story, and it was written the way I would expect a "war story" to be told. It definitely showed me a different side of the war, as well as giving some facts I didn't know ...

An excellent book dedicated to two people stood up for life when others looked the other way. My children and I enjoyed reading this book together. Visitors are coming for seder dinner and Marissa wants to know who they are!

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2004

A book for both Mothers and Teen Daughters
My 14-year-old daughter read this book and insisted that I read it. When I finally agreed, I could not put the book down. The story is so well told that you can can truly understand the experience of a 17-year-old girl in the midst of the horrible events. A compelling book that everyone should read and discuss.

Best Glimpse into Ethiopian Adoption Culture
I'm writing this as the mother of an adopted Ethiopian child- I bought this book after a random search and it has been the most valuable book of our whole adoption journey. It's loaded with helpful background info on the AIDS & Orphan crises in Ethiopia, history of Ethiopia, insight into the cultural perceptions of adoption (especially by affluent, white Westerners!) and the very moving ...

The Horses of Proud Spirit
I really enjoyed reading about the experiences the author had with her horses. Each one had something unique to teach us. This author is an amazing person and this world is a better place because of her. Sad but very refreshing. As a life long horse owner and lover I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a compassionate heart and an interest in reading about people who care enough ...

Help for Your Fearful Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide to Helping Your Dog Conquer His Fears

35 reviews
Nicole Wilde

Phantom Publishing, 2006

I wish I had this book years ago!
I wish I had this book years ago, when I adopted my own fearful dog! While it's a bit more easy to guide someone else through the process of rehabilitating a fear-bound hound, taking one on in your own life is a completely different story. As I read this book for the first time, I frequently stopped to wonder how easy my little journey from 6 years early would have been so much easier had there ...

Wren to the Rescue

25 reviews
Sherwood Smith

Harcourt, 1990

Good Story
Though not on the par of Crown and Court Duet. This book was obviously written for a younger audience, without the same prose, (...) tension, or interesting plot twists that were present in Crown. Still, an absorbing and pleasant read. Recommended- especially for young adults.

Report from Engine Co. 82 (Chivers Sound Library American Collections)

Dennis Smith, Adam Henderson

Sound Library, 2002

not as dated as you'd think: more relevant now than ever
I first read this book 20+ years ago, when I was under 20 years of age myself but streetwise from being the "wheels" (with a driver's license and a car) for various escapades all over Chicago in my raucous, hard-partying and utterly politically incorrect youth. Many aspects of "Report From Engine Co. 82" stuck with me through the years, and I've re-read it several times. Now I'm 40 and an ER RN ...

A Wonderful Book
You will not be disappointed with this book. It is nicely told and quick to read, however, it will linger in your heart for a long time.

ELEVEN DAYS OF HELL: MY TRUE STORY OF KIDNAPPING, TERROR, TORTURE AND HISTORIC FBI & KGB RESCUE

26 reviews
YVONNE BORNSTEIN

AuthorHouse, 2004

Suspenceful and dramatic
This is a true story of "man's inhumanity to man" and a wake up call for those living in the television provided security of their living rooms. One cannot accuse Yvonne of of any zest for growing roots into the sofa, au contraire. However, the dangers she encounters go far beyond anything she ever imagined. Russia's organized crime proves too tough, too well organized, and too cruel, when Yvonne ...

Powerful book about a quaint town
To know Rockaway is to absolutely know what it's like to not be able to live without Rockaway. Kevin Boyle captures Rockaway's darkest moments and shows how a community bonds together and rebuilds. He shows our strength and our unity during these tragic times. Thanks Kevin.

Rescue of Streetcar 304: A Navy Pilot's Forty Hours on the Run in Laos

Kenny Wayne Fields

Natl Maritime Historical Soc, 2007

Excellent Story!
I was also shot down in Laos, very close to the spot the author had his experience. My back-seater and I (flying an Air Force F-4E, in 1970) were luckier and were rescued after just one night in the jungle. This book is an "easy read" and I personally related to much of what he experienced. This is one of the few books I've read that I had to keep reading till I was finished. I'd like to think ...

The Sea Chest

Toni Buzzeo

Dial, 2002

A gorgeous book - a classic and touching story
Whenever we read this book my kids always ask 'Mommy, why are you crying?' It's a beautiful, touching tale about family, love, and adoption. I bought it because my family was formed through adoption, like the little girl's in the book, but I think this book could be appreciated by anyone. The pictures are gorgeous, the themes of the sea, the chest, and love carried throughout, and the writing is ...
