Love in the Driest Season: A Family Memoir
by Neely Tucker
Great read (7/4/2005)
This is a fantastic book! Not only does Tucker write about the grueling adoption process he and his wife endured, but he also informs the reader about the growing AIDS crisis, political corruption, war and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. I highly recommend this book!
Sophie and The Rising Sun
by Augusta Trobaugh
Great, quick read (6/29/2005)
What a wonderful little novel! I loved this charming story. Trobaugh captures small-town life perfectly. I grew up in a town of 1,300 people, and as I read this book, I found myself thinking of actual women from my past who were similar to Ruth and Anne. I'm going to lookmore
The Boy Who Loved Windows: Opening the Heart and Mind of a Child Threatened With Autism
by Patricia Stacey
Wonderful book (6/15/2005)
This is a great book about a topic that many more people should become familiar with - autism and Asperger's. If you want to read more, check out Temple Grandin's books. She is a high-functioning autistic and has authored books on the subject.
The Sociopath Next Door: The Ruthless Versus the Rest of Us
by Martha Stout
Fascinating read (6/13/2005)
Outstanding book, especially if you enjoy reading about human behavior. The author states that 4% of the population (1 in 25) is sociopathic and then describes their behavioral characteristics and how to protect yourself from them. This is an eye-opening book which I highly recommend.
