Maureen
by Rachel Joyce
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Although this book stands alone, it is a moving finale to the author's trilogy that begins with The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Maureen's husband. The book is interesting in how she is different from her husband, but relearns to love him, now in their later years, and struggles to deal with the suicide of their only son 30 years ago. I really enjoyed the author's style and may still read the other books out of order!!!

View in Library Catalog
book cover


Recipes and so much more! Cultural traditions, lessons learned, songs toward freedom, quotes from famous freedom fighters, and vignettes/quotes from people having experienced slavery as well as a variety of recipes. Regional recipes are shared from PA, the South, and other areas. This cookbook celebrated The Underground Railroad and all those living near it and participating in it. It reads like a history book as well as a cookbook. Highly recommended if you like cookbooks that share stories and anecdotes along with favorite recipes.

In the Time of Five Pumpkins
by Alexander McCall Smith

book cover


This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.

It's amazing to me how someone went from the top comedian to off the air a decade later. Overall, well written.

The Calamity Club
by Kathryn Stockett

book cover


I vary rarely write reviews, so it's uncharacteristic for me to attempt one now. But, away I go. I absolutely loved The Calamity Club. Ms. Stockett does an excellent job of transporting this reader smack dab into the lives of southern women during the Great Depression in Mississippi. These southern women--and one astutely bright young girl--must be resourceful during a time where their men, including fathers, have passed, or shirked their parental duties, or left them bereft of financial opportunities to be able to survive and thrive. It's a must read tale of resilience, survival, hope, and love. And the power of women to overcome odds stacked against them.

It’s a favorite contemporary romance. Sarah and Isaac’s story is raw, messy, and filled with real emotion. The chemistry between these two is hot while also having such a beautiful emotional depth. I will be reading more novels by Jewel E.Ann
