Ten Thousand Saints
Ten Thousand Saints: A Novel
by Eleanor Henderson
A Tough Life (5/10/2011)
This book was an informative read of dysfunctional families, drug use, skate boarding, hard rock bands, altered relationships, and attempts at change. Perhaps, this book would interest young adults. As a senior reader, I felt that it was a wasted read.

Daughters of the Witching Hill: A Novel
by Mary Sharratt
Daughters of the Witching Hill (4/13/2010)
Over the years I have had an interest in the persecution of perceived witches, based on their healing abilities, physical and mental illnesses, or their religious beliefs. This historical fiction was very enlightening. The main characters were well defined, some of the …more
