It teaches you to not say bad stuff to other kids. You should be a friendly friend.

A memoir of a young woman who grew up with parents who were "preppers"/survivalists. The things she endured from home schooling (that never really occurred) to a father who did not believe in medical treatments, even when his children were severely injured, was at times extremely frustrating to read and at other times made you realize the resiliency of the human spirit. You have to read this book to see how she preserved to make something of herself in the "real" world that she was kept sheltered from her whole childhood!

Another excellent book by Mary Kay Andrews! 2 thumbs up ????. Couldn't put it done.

Wonderfully woven story about WWII heroine. I was turning pages all night trying to guess which sister was The Nightingale. The perfect amount of drama and intrigue to make great historical fiction.

This is book 6 in the Armand Gamache series and I recommend that you read them in order, as some events carry over from previous books. This is an excellent police procedural series and I thank my s-i-l Julia for recommending this series to my wife and I. We both enjoy it. This book is one of the author's best that I have read so far and I rate it 4.5 stars rounded down. This book opens with Armand recovering both physically and mentally from events in the previous book. Armand is on medical eave from his position as Chief of the Homicide Surete(Quebec Provincial Police) team. He is drawn into investigating a murder that has taken place in Quebec City. At the same time he suspects that he may have made a mistake in his role in convicting a murderer from the previous book. He asks his #2 in the Homicide team, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, to re-investigate the crime unofficially. Jean-Guy is also on medical leave and agrees to do so. Both cases are solved with a satisfactory ending. Both men are starting to heal, both physically and mentally. I grew up in Buffalo, NY and I can remember occasional cold spells where the temperature dipped to below zero, once to -20F. M y parents and friends would always comment that "you know it's cold because you can feel the snow crunching underneath your feet when you walk." This book takes place in February in Quebec City, where crunchy snow is an every day occurrence and daytime temps go to -30(book doesn't say Celsius or Fahrenheit, but both are bitter cold). Some quotes: Describing the Literary and Historical Society: "It takes a lot of effort to halt time, and for the most part they've done it." Conversation between members of the Champlain Society: Rene: "I sometimes thinks that we are in a rowboat society." Jean: "A what?" Rene: "A rowboat. It's why we do things like that." He jerked his head toward the window and the dot on the river. "It's why Quebec is so perfectly preserved. It's why we're all so fascinated with history. We're in a rowboat. We move forward, but we're always looking back." I raced through this library book in 3 days.

Liked the book- It is true with some of the things that are described-- Kind of of the Jetsons!! Surprise ending. I didn't think I would like it, I read for SCI Fi challenge

Not what I was expecting. The book was a tragic story of a dysfunctional family, with a very happy ending. I would recommend this book to friends.

This book makes you think and is one everyone should read. I did feel it was slow at times which is why I gave 4 ?? instead of 5

I like the Train in the book that moves along the pages. I like that the book shows different kinds of places around the country. It has some of my favorite colors! There is yellow inside the book which is my favorite.

This is the fastest I read a book. 4 days and I couldn't put it done. Excellent writing by Debbie Macomber. A 5 star review and would highly recommend.
