My new favorite book series. The TV series Tracker is based off of these novels and if you like the show, you will love the books. This one was very exciting with some thrills, twists and turns in the plot. Thre characters have a lot of depth to them and I highly recommend you start at the beginning of the series as their is a continuous undelying story that takes place throughout each of them.

I really enjoyed this novel. I was inspired to read it after hearing the author speak and read excerpts from her book at EMPL. It is a fast read about why Grace left her family years ago.

An emotional read, with insights into the meaning of friendships, the bonds we make with others, and the process of grieving. A shout out to Art Therapy.

A new senior citizens group is formed, but no one expects it to have the effect that it has on each person involved in the group and on the children in the day care that is housed in the same building. This book has many different characters with unusual backgrounds and personalities. The last ¼ of the book was very fast-paced, but the earlier part of the book was just OK.

This book follows the life of Susan LaFlesche, the first Native American Doctor in U.S. History. In 1889 she became the doctor f her people. She used her knowledge to assist her people move forward by encouraging them to attend church, avoid alcohol and manage the rush west. This book held my interest throughout as I learned about her family, her tribe, and the fate of Native Americans. Susan worked with government officials to insure her patients /tribe were treated fairly.

This Audiobook wove an interesting story about the lives of the Post Cereal Heiress. She was born in Texas but lived in many places. Her life mirrors our country’s history. Alison wove a beautiful story about the accomplishments of Marjorie Post. I am in awe of the challenges Alison faced, her generosity, and life challenges. This book held my interest and I listened to it while driving the car, preparing meals, and cleaning up. The narrator added a real life voice to the story.

This was a wonderful book. Una Kelly is a young woman in 1883 New York who is a grifter and thief. She is arrested for murder which she has not committed. Somehow she manages to escape the jail, and decides to enter a nursing program begun by Florence Nightingale at Bellevue. She doesn't want to be a nurse, just needs to hide from the police.

The book is about a movie star who is black listed in Hollywood because of her costar in her latest movie. The story was interesting although of the story seemed forced to fit the narrative

The best part of Johnny Careless by Kevin Wade were the acknowledgements. There was very little I liked about this novel. I didn't care about any of the characters - they were one dimensional - there was no character growth - they just moved along at a snails pace just like the plot.
