    <about><![CDATA[From the time I was a little girl, I've been in love with books.  I love to learn, I love to write, and I love to research and study.  There is literally a stack of books beside my nightstand (all of which I'm reading simultaneously)...<br/><br/>I have a hard time reading novels and fiction, just because I have such a strong passion for acquiring knowledge and absorbing motivation to shift into living &quot;higher.&quot;<br/><br/>Love to read to my kids, too! :O)  ]]></about>

Still interesting, if you're into historical detail (which unfortunately I don't have the patience for).  ]]></body>

I've always admired Jane Clayson and knew she was LDS, just didn't understand what she &quot;gave up&quot; to be home with her children.  It's a great story and I will definitely value the reference...]]></body>

Graphic but not offensive, in that the subject matter is intense.  Vivid portrayal of life in Afghanistan as seen through the eyes of a boy emerging into an adolescent.]]></body>
