REVIEW: JOY COMES IN THE MORNING by Jonathan Rosen

This novel is a window into the personal life and self-reflection of reform rabbi Deborah Green. Her complex personality does create a compelling story for those interested in psychology, sociology, spirituality, and religion. Deborah's inner-battles are at times neurotic as she tries to build the necessary bridge's between her personal and spiritual life. She is somewhat haunted by conflict and compassion. The author's intellect is obvious as this is an a...

REVIEW: THE STRANGER by Harlan Coben, narrated by George Newbern
Fathom an act of deceit committed by an insecure wife, a lie so personal it should matter to no one except the woman and her husband. Nevertheless, two years after the incident it shatters the cozy life they've created and it doesn't stop with them.
Despite an often annoying amount of petty details, THE STRANGER is engrossing and engaging. The premise exposes another possible concern about individual privacy on the web when a quasi group of self-professed naive vigilantes set a chain of seemin...

REVIEW: ALWAYS RETURNING THE WISDOM OF PLACE by D. A. Hickman
A beautifully written spiritual guide for self-exploration.
The author conveys a simple calm as she paints a gorgeous picturesque parallel between earth from her physical point on the map and the makings of our individuality. The prairie of South Dakota represents the macrocosm for the spiritual self. The images and lessons are brilliantly simple yet, complex.
It is not a book to be read cover to cover, but one to rest on your nightstand to be read and contemplated one chapter...
REVIEW: SIX YEARS by Harlan Coben
Two years ago I believed living off the grid was next to impossible. About a year ago I learned that was not true. I watched in the background as authorities searched for a relative of mine that was living outside of the watchful eye of modern society. It was riveting to say the least. Remarkably, the authorities never located my relative. He eventually came forward.SIX YEARS is a fascinating mosaic of interesting components by a well-versed veteran author, Harlan Coben. Read by five people,...
