| River's Edge by Marie Bostwick is one of the best books I have read in a long time. The setting is pre-WWII through the war years in a small New England community, where they grow tobacco, of all things. It is a coming of age story, a building a new...more | |

| I soak up Bradbury's prose and imagination. But this time I had to set the book aside because it was so dark, and my mood needed something lighter. I look forward to returning to this book. Perhaps it is one to read in stages, to take in what Bradbur...more | |

“speak quietly to yourself & promise there will be better days. whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. offer comfort in practical and tangible ways - as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. tomorrow comes more brightly...”

| Bradbury uses his own writing journey to encourage a writer, to encourage anyone actually, to find and be themselves. To truly Live. Each time I read this book, I see something new. | |

I enjoyed this book. D. E. Stevenson takes me to a place I want to be and away from my own world. I find her books worthy of study, too, teaching me about of a graceful way of life gone by, and the construction of a good novel. This, as each of her st...more |

“We carry on. We have ourselves and we carry on- in spite of our losses and mistakes and women, I think, have more than most. We are good secret-keepers.
