Audio Book Review ‘First Frost’ by Sarah Addison Allen
A bit of magic and a lot of family support in a story with an emphasis on the positive. Sometimes it’s a pleasure to read a bit of fiction and appreciate a low-drama situation, even though, it’s obvious that circumstances are going to turn out for the best.
Hence, First Frost is a delightful story about a family of southern women, the Waverleys of Bascom, North Carolina. Raised by their agoraphobic yet, somewhat mystical grandmother, Claire and Sidney grew up in a house with family history pa...

Audio Book Review 'Rogue Lawyer' by John Grisham
The Rogue Lawyer is Sebastian Rudd, a daredevil who struggles with ethics; he is a signature headliner with charisma.

For anyone who wants to question whether John Grisham still has what it takes, Rudd is his best character, yet. Representing the worst of the worst, Rudd redefines justice based on the circumstances he fac...

The author provides raw insight into an impaired society that resides on the gorgeous islands of the Chesapeake Bay.Murder, rape, domestic abuse, poverty, addiction, and birth defects haunt the inhabitants of the marsh and despite the hellacious fear, the indoctrination is so deep that most never leave and those that do, inevitably return.
Often times, fic...

“One often feels exalted, expanded, in his presence. He is not one of those egotists who miniaturize others. He is the opposite kind of egotist, driven by grandiosity rather than greed, and if he insists on a version of you that is funnier, stranger, more eccentric and profound than you suspect yourself to be--capable of doing more good and more harm in the world than you've ever imagined--it is all but impossible not to believe, at least in his presence and for a while after you've left him that he alone sees through to your essence, weighs your true qualities (not all of which are necessarily flattering--a certain clumsy, childish rudeness is part of his style), and appreciates you more fully than anyone else ever has.” — Michael Cunningham
