This deals with a woman who befriends a single mom that dies and names her as guardian to her 5 year old. It gave me a better perspective of why people on the Gulf Coast and other hurricane ravaged areas decide to rebuild.
At the age of 12, Julie Holt's younger sister disappeared-never to be found. It was a loss that slowly eroded the family bonds she once relied on. As an adult with a prestigious job in the arts, Julie meets a struggling artist who reminds her so much of her sister, she can't help feeling protective. It is a friendship that begins a long and painful process of healing for Julie, leading her to a house on the Gulf Coast, ravaged by hurricane Katrina, and to stories of family that take her deep into the past.
Definitely a book for those who enjoy Maeve Binchy's titles. Nice to find someone else who writes of this far away and beautiful country's everyday people.
Ready to book a flight over there to search out this very special bunch.

This son's loving memior of life with his hearing impaired parents is a straight forward and loving tale. Myron writes in such a way that you feel as if you've been transported back to the depression era and are part of Mr. Uhlberg's life.
His description of what is was like to be the mouthpiece for his father and sometimes his mother pulls at your heart strings.
You will so much more appreciate the sense of hearing after you read this.

Dodger history as described by a member of their infamous infield consisting of Cey, Lopez, Russell and Garvey is something every Dodger fan would love. Steve Garvey, the first baseman of this quartet writes of some very special Dodgers and their feelings about baseball, life and of course, Dem Bums.
