An upper class family in the summer of 1969. On Massachusett's Nantucket Island area. I enjoyed reading the story and reminiscing about my life at that age (20/21). Well written. I now want to read my stories by this author. She has written twenty-three more novels. Great summer reading.

'Tis the week before Christmas, and antiques dealer Weezie Foley is in a frenzy to do up her shop right for the Savannah historical district decorating contest, which she fully intends to win. Her motif is Graceland Blue Christmas, with lots of tinsel, an aluminum tree, and enough tacky retro doodads to fill the Grand Ole Opry. But no sooner is she certain she's one-upped the trendy shop around the corner when Weezie notices things going strangely missing from her display.

This is a biography of George Washington that takes a closer look at myths and stories surrounding him that we have always thought true and debunks them. This book makes you realize though Washington was a great man, he wasn't perfect. I recommend it as the author brings up many interesting facts about him that makes you see him more clearly, faults and all.

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.

The book, set in the early 1940's is the story of a young black woman in Harlem trying to raise her son and better their lives amid violence and racial inequalities. It is extremely well written and I was riveted to the story to see the outcome. It is very sad story of the difficulties faced this young woman that prevented her from achieving her goals. It was published in 1946, won a literary grant for the author and has a million copies in print. I highly recommend it.
