The Grass Dancer 27 reviews Susan Power
Berkley Trade, 1997
Practically Lyrical
+ An Inside Look at a Little Known Spiritualism. + Powerful, lyrical, moving
The editorial and other customer reviews do a good job of covering the characters and basic plot, so I won't go into that.
This has to be the best book I've read in months. It's practically lyrical, the sentences are so pretty. The dust jacket is more than a little off on the plot, so don't read ...

Fawcett, 2003
Accurate, Inspiring, Absolutely Lovely Read
+ From one ferriner to another... + above chick lit
Being from the Big Stone Gap area myself, I found this book to be an absolute joy. Like the author, I now live in a large city and this book really took me back home and made me realize all over again that as long as you have happiness (and yes, you can find it at 35) you can live happily in a ...

+ Northern Exposure full series + Great To Watch Again
These discs are great. With all the original episodes, along with deleted scenes and outtakes, it makes this gift just as intimate as it is nostalgic. If you've never seen the series, you're in for a treat.
