This book would be an excellent to prove to students that prejudice does not exist everywhere and human kindness and character has prevailed throughout the years.

Especially good book to listen to since it is the 50th anniversary of Motown Records. Good music and biography of Stevie Wonder, his family, and the record industry.

Book that takes you back to the innocence of the 50's or at least we thought they were innocent. Sometimes our memories are not a reflection of the true happenings.

I am always amazed at her writing. She does not lean on other novels to produce the next story. This one will take a little bit of reading to really get into it, but the message is clear and simple, there is only one sin-eater. Rivers takes a folk-tale from the smoky mountains and weaves it into a biblical lesson of redemption. Since I am familiar with the geographical area and the ownership the people pride themselves on, I can tell you that this story could take place in a heartbeat.

This book deals with the problems a family faces when the truth is covered-up for generations. It also gives insight to the issues a family faces when old-age catches up with the members who have been estranged for year. Once you begin reading, you can't put it down.

An old friend with lots of psychological problems, shows back up in Alex's life long enough to stir up feelings before she then commits suicide. Alex then proceeds to follow a trail of information to unravel what really happened. Easy to read and you can read and follow the book without reading the other three Alex Delaware books.

Very interesting outlook concerning John Kennedy, Jr., his wife, cousin, and friends. Written by his cousin's wife, you see a different side of the famous family. Just like everyone else, they ate at Wendy's, went to the beach, and dealt with diseases that money can't heal.
