to: Dead Man Walking (Paperback)byHelen Prejean bookshelves: read-2009
I still don't know if I believe in the death penalty or not. How can killing someone for killing someone else be legal? Yet what other way can we discourage these crimes from taking place.
This is a true story about a nun who was asked to write to a death row inmate and how they developed a friendship. She helped him and witnessed his execution. This led to being the spiritual advisor for other death row inmates and her leading the fight to end the death penalty. Very good book.

to: Thanksgiving: The Pilgrims' First Year in America (Paperback)byGlenn Alan Cheney bookshelves: goodreads-wins,
read-2009
I received this book as a Goodreads win directly from the author. I thought it was fascinating. It was well researched and easy to follow.
The book described the history of religious persecution that drove the pilgrims to leave for America. It described the journey and how dangerous it was and what kind of conditions were on board. And then what it was like for them when they landed in the new world in the middle of winter with no housing, food, warmth and lots of disease. By spring half of the passengers on board had died. And most families were left without at least a mother or a father and several children.
These people were brave and if they didn't do this we wouldn't be here today.
