With all of the pluck and charm of its eponymous young hero, Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Spotlight, Midnight in Paris) delivers a spectacular reading of Montgomery's beloved bildungsroman. In moments both funny and bittersweet, McAdams' voice is imbued with the spark that has made Anne a much-loved symbol of individualism and cheer for over a century.

This book stuck to a realistic life for Anne Shirley prior to Green Gables. It showed in depth how hard her life was.

To everyone else, John F. Kennedy Jr. may have been American royalty, but to RoseMarie Terenzio, he was an entitled nuisance—and she wasn’t afraid to let him know it. RoseMarie was his personal assistant, his publicist, and one of his closest confidantes during the last five years of his life. In this, her first memoir, she bravely recounts her own fairy tale interrupted, describing the unlikely friendship between a blue-collar girl from the Bronx and John F. Kennedy Jr.

Honest, Loving, and yet Real JFK and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy
Reviewed: 08-12-24
RoseMarie shares her story about John Kennedy and his beloved Carolyn. It is honest, loving, gripping, real of the man we thought we knew and the woman who won his heart. RoseMarie had intimate contact with both of them and often was their in between person. She loved both of them and they loved her. Great book!

Just as Pops had promised, once the campers had learned to let go of fear and truly connect with each other, time began passing much faster. Ruby’s offer to Genevieve proves to be heavy as she considers all she would have to give up, but discovering the secret ingredients of the joy on Harmony Hill leaves her uncharacteristically open to possibilities.

This book is the fourth of a series that helps a person grow into a better person. It is supposedly fictional but the people and situations are so believable that I like to think that the people of Harmony Hill are real in my heart!

The story of the Civil War that you didn’t know you needed to learn
Reviewed: 02-12-23
This fictional story is told from the prospective of a Jewish New York couple and a slave couple of Louisiana. The authors used real stories of their family history to create this beautiful story. It weaves the couples lives together and gives some of the feeling what it was like to be these two minorities fighting in and living in the Civil War time. It is an amazing book.

Princess Louise’s life is upended after her father’s untimely death. Captive to the queen’s overwhelming mourning, Louise is forbidden to leave her mother’s tight circle of control and is eventually relegated to the position of personal secretary to her mother―the same position each of her sisters held until they were married. Already an accomplished painter, Louise risks the queen’s wrath by exploring the art of sculpting, an activity viewed as unbefitting a woman.

Louise was such a remarkable person let alone a remarkable princess. I learned much about the life of Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria of England as well as Queen Victoria herself. Princess Louise was definitely born ahead of her time! Great reading!

Such a beautifully written book with such a difficult subject. Heather takes a horrific subject and horrible time (but important to examine since it repeats disguised as a different subject.)

At eleven years of age, Rosalind Ainsworth was convinced that Sebastian Lumley, the future Duke of Kelbrook, was the most odious young man she’d ever met. And ten years later, after having had no contact with the nobleman in the intervening time, her opinion of him has not changed. Unfortunately, neither has their marriage contract. As Rosalind’s appointed wedding day approaches, Sebastian makes a rare appearance in London. His first meeting with Rosalind since childhood goes less than perfectly, but Sebastian has a compelling reason for honoring their marriage contract.
