Enjoyed devil's gate. It kept you hanging onto the last page as usual. Really like this author.

Peppa and Rebecca had an idea to make under-the-sea party. They invited all their friends. Mommy Pig made delicious snacks for the party. Everybody was dresses in the underwater costumes and they had a great time swimming and dancing.

This is book 15 in the Duncan Kinkaid/Gemma James series. In this book Duncan is on parental leave and Gemma has a temporary assignment as head of a murder investigation unit. Two similar murders with no apparent connection give rise to the theory that they may be serial murders. There are many twists and turns in the investigation that brings both James, Kinkaid and their sgts together to solve the case. I recommend this to those that like to follow mystery series of books with the same characters.

We all go through difficult moments in life and we become depressed and sometimes question God as to why he would allow us to go through such tough times. We refer to our difficult moments as suffering. The great good God of heaven allows us to suffer as we term it in order to make us strong in our faith in him, to cause us to trust him more. We prove God in our suffering because when he brings us through our suffering, we gain confidence in him. As one song writer states. If we never had a problem, how would we know that God can solve them.

Thomas Jackson went to West Point. He became a brilliant military leader. He is known in the history books by his nickname, Stonewall Jackson, because he stands like a stone wall.

In Shock: My Journey from Death to Recovery and the Redemptive Power of Hope Book by Rana Awdish It is always an experience when we get the experience of living on the other side of the tracks. The author did an excellent job of expressing what her experience was like when she wore the robe of a patient instead of that of a doctor. She had the experience of lying in a hospital bed and watching and hearing the treatments that patients get from their medical team. She was able to experience the coldness, insensitivity, the mistakes, the delays, nasty attitudes and the attitude of being treated as a subject, as a bed #. She saw and heard, ego, self-satisfaction, received nonchalant attitudse from the medical team caring for her. This was an eye opener for her and made her determine in her heart that she would not display these attitudes in her practice.

Depressing book but well written. Keeps your interest about a family that has suffered a great loss.

The book was okay.It dragged in spots

In this book the focus is on family and the bonds that tie families together. The main character, Webster, is an EMT in Vermont raising his 17 year old daughter on his own after he sent his wife away following a car accident that she caused. While most of the book focuses on the events leading up to the accident the end brings to light the fragile strings that tie family members together, regardless of the distance, time or emotional space between them.
