Story
Whiskey Tender traces how a mixed tribe native girl—born on the California Yuma reservation and raised in Navajo territory in New Mexico—comes to her own interpretation of identity, despite her parent’s desires for her to transcend the class and “Indian” status of her birth through education, and despite the Quechan tribe’s particular traditions and beliefs regarding oral and recorded histories.

What a wonderful book! I couldn’t put it down! Even though I am not indigenous, I could relate to so many things she talked about. Wanting to feel close to her ancestors and her culture and her language of origin. Deborah wrote this book with such tenderness and love and honesty. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

The small farms that surround the centuries-old Lear House are managed by her father, agent to the wealthy, reckless Sir Thomas Blakely. Tenant farmers sell the oats and rye they grow to pay rent to Sir Thomas, surviving on the potatoes that flourish in the remaining scraps of land. But when the potato crop falls prey to a devastating blight, families Briana has known all her life are left with no food, no resources, and no mercy from the English landowner.

Story of Irish life during potato famine
Reviewed: 05-25-24
The book was fascinating because it made every day Irish lives real. I wanted to know more about my ancestors and what they went through coming to America. This book gave me an idea of how desperate and terrible the potato famine was for the Irish under British rule.

Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status...and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader.

Story
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

I’m a Malcolm Gladwell fan. Everything he writes is so thought-provoking. This is an intriguing expose on how we judge strangers incorrectly. I found parts of it shocking and sad. Society needs to do better.

This dating advice for women gives you the blueprint to the male mind so you can get what you want from a man...and not the other way around. Guys get away with tons of stuff and you allow them to. This book will strip men of their power and render them helpless until you have gained what you desire through his actions. And then and only then will we "power him up" again.

I’ve been perplexed by several men I’ve dated. Reading this book showed me that I picked guys that didn’t deserve me - and I let them pick me. Now I’m in the drivers seat and the next relationship will be the one I choose! Thank you, Gregg, for unlocking the puzzle for me! I feel excited to get back on line and date.

Our "30-is-the-new-20" culture tells us that the twentysomething years don't matter. Some say they are an extended adolescence. Others call them an emerging adulthood. But 30 is not the new 20. In this enlightening book, Dr. Meg Jay reveals how many twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation that has trivialized what are actually the most defining years of adulthood.
