About this author

Author, Speaker, Humorist. Sixteen books under her belt (including the Dearest Dorothy series and the Snowglobe Connections series), Charlene is still going strong, finding writing more enjoyable than ever. Visit her website at www.charleneannbaumbich.com for more information."

What she is most excited about for 2012 is the release of FINDING OUR WAY HOME. She says she learned more from her characters in this book than any other she's written. "It's awesome when my characters bless me." Like Evelyn is fond of saying, "Grace, Amen."

I listened to the Audio Version, which is read by the author. It's my first encounter with Mr. Gantos. The story was FUN, warm and educational. I kept thinking: what a terrific story for BOYS, too--an audience sometimes hard to capture and grip.

This was a thought provoking, accessible book on racism.

Part of Barkley's intention was to ignite more dialogue on the topic, get people past their fear of discussion. He interviewed, and talked about, prominent figures throughout sports, politics a...more

Sisters. (I don't have one.) Heartache. Tragedy. Separation. Finding their way back to each other again. I finished this book several days ago, and I continue to think about it. It was a pretty gripping/thoughtful read, in a good way.
