Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation by Sheila Weller

The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney
Jean MacDonald, February 10, 2008
Beautifully written AND a page turner. The descriptions of the landscape will take your breath away. Impressive array of well-developed characters.Blonde Faith by Walter Mosley

This tenth outing for Easy Rawlins will certainly please fans of the series. It's one of the best. The great supporting characters are all there (Mouse, Jackson Blue, Jesus, Bonnie, Feather) and interesting new ones are woven in to this tale of longing and redemption. Walter Mosley is a genius.(2 of 2 readers found this comment helpful)
