Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand(1/20/2012)
Our lIbrary chose Unbroken for us to read in our Book group. I thought I would not be alble to read this book because my father went to WW2 & to the Korean war & I did not want to re-visit what happened during that war. I was glad that I decided to read it & …more could not wait to finish & see where it went on each page. It showed & taught me & hopefully our group how difficult these great men went through in WW2 & how they suffered & were treated during their captivity. How strong their spirit & hope were that they would be rescued & how they stood up to their captors. Would recomment this book to friends & Family.(less)
Moloka'i

I belong to a book club at a library & the librarian chose this book. I was so taken by the story & it made a lot of things happen to my mind as I read it. This book had so much love, sadness, freedom & to believe in yourself & others & what a family is …more to you.
I am Catholic & knew about Father Damien being in Moloka'i but the book brought Moloka'i more alive to me.
I did visit Oahu & Kaua'i as we lived on Guam for 3 yrs.
