Murders on Elderberry Road: A Queen Bees Quilt Mystery1 review
Sally Goldenbaum
Kansas City Star Books, 2003
Sewing mystery and murder into a good story
I loved this book. It reminded me of the crisp falls in the college town I'd just moved from, just with more intrigue. And I love the ladies in the quilting group; they're caring, quirky, and on a mission. I can't wait for the next in the series to come out!

Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats 301 reviews
Sally Fallon
NewTrends Publishing, Inc., 1999
Something worth considering
I have to admit I was shocked by this book. But when you read it, it just starts to make sense. Too much sense really. This book is the exact opposite of everything we are told about healthly nutrition! Drink raw whole milk for example. But when she tells you why she feels this way, you think there must be something to this. It just makes too much sense. We put out a raw milk petition to ...

Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy32 reviews
Annette Gordon-Reed
University of Virginia Press, 1998
Very Skillful Lawyerly Presentation of History
This is a very solid and well researched book. The author makes a very thorough and logical presentation to prove her case. Much in the manner of a courtroom argument. It is effective. I came away from reading the book convinced that Jefferson, in all reasonable liklihood, did father Sally Hemings five mixed race children.
Sally Hemings was 1/4 African in descent, 3/4's European. By all ...

Sally Hughes Smith
Medical University of South Carolina Foundation, 2006
Soothing to the Soul
Sally Smith's personal account provides much needed validation for the myriad of emotions we experience when someone we have loved so deeply and for so long begins to slip away into the hands of this horrible disease. The humor and warmth with which she writes is a valuable gift to anyone struggling with this issue, and with all proceeds going to aid research efforts, it is not only a must read, ...

Sally Md Shaywitz
Vintage, 2005
amazing book, very comphrensive, a must read for parents and friends
I really needed a good explanation of dyslexia after my daughter was diagnosed with it. I was told of this book by the school reading specialist. Every chapter of the book was eye-opening and helped bring my child's plight into better focus. I now feel so much more informed and better prepared to help my little girl.
I feel empowered to help her and have the insight to know why she reads ...

Sage Advice for Novice Equestrian
Being a novice rider who has been interested in zen methods and meditations for years, I would have bought this book even if it contained only this one piece of advice that I've seen in no other publication. The advice: Ask someone to check your posture while you're sitting on the horse, looking at you from behind because one side is usually stronger than the other and the stronger side tends to ...

great learning tool
I am a beginner triathlete in every sense of the word. Although I have swam biked and ran before I had never done any competitively until my first Danskin triathlon. I bought this book after that and have gotten some really great tips and realized a lot of the things I was doing wrong. Great How to's on all three sports as well as nutrition, training and gear.

Sally Mann
Bulfinch, 2005
Transcendent Images
Mann is one of the very most gifted photographers of our time. In her landscape work, she finds the perfect marriage of technique and subject matter--marrying the processes of 19th-century photography and historic lenses to the subject matter of great sites of the South, the profound and mysterious ways in which site carries memory. In doing so she has created images that seem to derive from our ...

Sally John
Harvest House Publishers, 2006
Profound, inspiring
Reviewed by Shaley Melchior for Reader Views (1/07)
Once in a very long time, a book comes along that has the ability of touching hearts, changing lives, and inspiring hope. "Castles in the Sand" is one such book. It is not just another beach read, as one would guess by looking at the cover, but a profound, inspiring read of a family torn apart, and the long road home.
Kenzie Starr is a ...

Ethereal Meditations on Mortality
WHAT REMAINS is an apt title to this extraordinary photographic portfolio by the sensitive, ever inquisitive, gentle spirit of Sally Mann. Though often criticized for her 'audacity' of material she elects to photograph, Mann is never less than creative and challenging.
This well designed book is divided into sections that explore life and especially death in its many guises - accidental, ...

A great Knitting Experience
I got this book for one pattern, the knitted coat, however I was pleased to find so many patterns that I know I can use. The patterns are not so difficult you would not start them, however they do keep your interest...I started the coat the day I received the book...strongly recommend.

We love Silly Sally!
I first bought this book about 2 yrs ago for my little granddaughter and she loved it. When her teacher asked the kids to bring a favorite book from home to have read aloud in class, she chose her Silly Sally book. I especially like it 'cause its not such a long story. The pictures are funny and appealing. I recently bought the lap-sized board book for my other granddaughter that is 3 1/2 yrs old ...

Sally Hemings: A Novel23 reviews
Barbara Chase-Riboud
St. Martin's Griffin, 2000
Great Book and I could feel some of the parts
This was a wonderful book although it was fiction. It was extremely interesting to see how the interest in Sally Hemmings was and also how the relationship developed which seemed to be a co-dependent one. Also how she kept their relationship private and how she was in love with him but at the same time she realized that she was loving a man that could not and would not duplicate the affection. ...
