A Place For Us (4/24/2018)
This story is a fictional account of a Muslim Indian family and how they deal with many issues between each other, living in America, and being from a different ethnic background. The events of 911 are part of the rich history which this book encompasses, with reactionsmore
Happiness: The Crooked Little Road to Semi-Ever After
by Heather Harpham
Happiness: The Crooked Little Road to Semi-Ever After..... (6/13/2017)
I am not normally a fan of memoirs but this gem was hard to put down! Both comedy and tragedy are combined in a fast-paced read. This book would appeal to parents during their child bearing years, especially those with special needs or fragmented relationships.

by Ari L. Goldman
The Late Starters Orchestra (7/4/2014)
What a sweet yet powerful book; a testament to purpose towards fulfilling our dreams as we age. This was such a positive and absolutely charming book which would appeal most to older adults who are questioning what they want to do in their later years. Its message is one ofmore
