Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

, September 03, 2014
This is an inspiring true story about a family. Because of a devastating illness Jessica becomes the focus of the family. Jessica is hit with a very rare cancer. A tumor settles in her brain stem where there are million of nerves. Therefore, the tumor can not be cut out. It is inoperable. Erik Rees, Jessica's father, writes this story and allows us to follow a strong little girl as the diseases progresses. Jessica is eleven years old. She always thinks of others and not herself even during her illness. This is the message of the book, Jessica's message is to "Never Ever Give Up" no matter what battle you face here on earth. Keep hope before you.http://negu.org/

American Primitive
by
Mary Oliver

, August 31, 2014
I misplaced my book for a while. So glad I found it again. This time I refused to put it down again because Mary Oliver in American Primitive took me on a Nature walk. American Primitive by Mary Oliver brims over like the white waters of a waterfall with goodness. It is so easy to see whatever she sees on this walk or to feel whatever she feels. One poem is about a little girl who gets lost. The poet gives the child's name. This made me feel the loss in a deeper way. Her name is Lydia Osburn. There is a poem about Tecumseh whom I want to know more about. I like this part of the poem most of all. "Where are the Shawnee now? Do you know? Or would you have to write to Washington, and even then, whatever they said, would you believe it?
