The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
couponqueen, September 18, 2008
This moving story of twins who live separate lives due to their father's snap decision was written from a good perspective. VERY glad to have "read" the audio version as I felt a part of this family and the unique story told within those pages.Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson
couponqueen, March 2, 2008
"Three Cups of Tea" written by Greg Mortenson has a central theme which is derived from a proverb and repeatedly it speaks out during this inspirational tale. "The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger," a villager tells Greg Mortenson. "The second time, you are an honored guest. The third time you become family."I found Mortenson's story about his singular efforts to address poverty, educate girls, and overcome cultural divides meaningful and a true learning experience. Three Cups also showed a culture's way to eventually make strangers into "family" in this part of the world.

Peter Jennings: A Reporter's Life by Lynn Sherr

This biography was a true eye opener about one of America's jounalistic icons. Having watched Mr. Jennings for so many years on World News Tonite, comments made by both colleagues, interview subjects, friends and family really brought out the true person.And when statements by Mr. Jennings himself were included it showed Peter as he was in addition to the many journalistic endeavors he pursued.
