Books I Love/THE READING PROMISE
For Christmas my daughter-in-law gave me a book entitled THE READING PROMISE. By the end of the first chapter, I knew I’d enjoy the read. By the end of the book, I knew THE READING PROMISE had risen into that rare category of “Books I Love.” THE READING PROMISE is a memoir written by Alice…
January 2012 Free Book!
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…

Books I Love/HAVE A LITTLE FAITH
Mitch Albom excels at presenting stories that warm the heart and touch the soul. Have A Little Faith is both a chronicle of his own spiritual journey and the biographies of two incredible men of faith – one Jewish and one Christian. I love the honesty of this book, and I love the insight into the…
Books I Love/The Wet Nurse’s Tale
The Wet Nurse’s Tale, a novel by Erica Eisdorfer, tells us a story through the eyes of Susan Rose, a wet nurse gifted in pluck, punnery and life’s wisdom. I loved the story and the insight into the past, when a woman’s worth might well be equated with the quality of her breast milk. Blessings!…
