The Lion in the Lei Shop
by Kaye Starbird
The Women Left Behind at Pearl Harbor (5/30/2013)
One of the fantastic Nancy Pearl Rediscoveries, this book is an unusual view of December 7, 1941 and the weeks and months after the attack. The women and children who were stationed on Pearl Harbor with their husbands and fathers are suddenly confronted with black-outs, food shortages and a world with no men. Surprisingly funny at times, the book is a page-turner that illustrates the frightening, monotonous, and challenging years of the home front. Don't miss it if you enjoy women's fiction
A Simple Act of Gratitude: How Learning to Say Thank You Changed My Life
by John Kralik
Simple Acts (4/17/2011)
Author Kralik is fifty-three, forty pounds overweight, and his professional and personal relationships are bordering on disaster. He turns his life around by focusing on what is good in his life instead of wallowing in the negative. Kralik’s writing is choppy and unorganized but his sincerity is clearly visible and he reveals a certain sweetness that makes the reader happy for his emerging success. If you are looking for motivation to send those thank you notes you’ve been avoiding, read this for inspiration. They might change your life.
