My daughter-in-law had read the novel in her reading group and fell in love with it. Set in Afghanistan, THE PEARL THAT BROKE ITS SHELL portrays the difficult life of women and girls…
It’s been a while since THE NOTEBOOK by Nicholas Sparks was published (1996). The movie version came out in 2004. But this is a new year and I’m feeling a little nostalgic, so I thought that we’d give away an “old” book. By now, maybe you’ve misplaced your copy of THE NOTEBOOK or never quite…
