The previous year, Therese learned the trick to keeping her unexpected guests out of mischief. She casts around and discovers that the new organist, who plays superbly, has a strange failing. He requires the written music in front of him before he can play a piece, and the church's book of Christmas carols has gone missing.

Sweet little g rated story
Reviewed: 12-26-22
this is a sweet little g-rated story that takes place and the early 1800s. in a small town in England. it's the 2nd in a four book series. it's a nice break from reality. it's relaxed and kind and a little village where everybody helps each other. and then this book they had to find a missing book of Christmas carols or else the Christmas extravagance I couldn't go on.

Fifteen-year-old Gustine is a "dress lodger", a young prostitute who rents a beautiful blue dress from her landlord to attract a higher class of clientele. To make sure she earns her fees and to keep her from running off with his fantastical gown, her pimp has set a malevolent old woman, known only as "the Eye", to follow her through the back alleys of Sunderland.

Very timely. About cholera but could be now
Reviewed: 03-16-22
This is a gritty look at the life of a lowborn young lady. Doing her very best just to make it through life. The doctor that may or may not be able to help her. And life during the Cholera epidemic in Britain. Through struggle and pain, the very poor fight for survival on many levels

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,395
Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 456
Most relationship problems are essentially trust issues, explains psychotherapist David Richo. Whether it's fear of commitment, insecurity, jealousy, or a tendency to be controlling, the real obstacle is a fundamental lack of trust - both in ourselves and in our partner. Daring to Trust offers key insights and practical exercises for exploring and addressing our trust issues in relationships.

I'm a history lover and this book what is pretty good about matching up with historical facts of the day and then making its own story on the side. it has a good pace with enough of a mix of intrigue and surrounding storyline to keep you interested all the way through. This is the third book of red from this author and I'll be coming back for more

Loved the story. Male characters were loud
Reviewed: 12-13-20
I love Anne Easter Smith and her stories. This one was in her fully researched and explained style. You really know her characters.
The narrator was very good. The only bump in the performance was that she portrays the male characters a bit loud, compared to the females. Everything else was beautiful.

"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

James is so open & trusting to share this with us
Reviewed: 03-11-20
I don't know how the people that had negative comments misssed the beauty in this. He had a hard life of course it was very mellow. I'm sorry if they didn't know that before coming into this. It's very brave and trusting of James to open up and let everyone see what happened to him and how his music was born.
I thought the musical segues we're good punctuation marks to bring together what he had just said. Plus for me his music is so emotional that it made the story hit home even deeper.
So, James, thank you so much!
