Story4.5 out of 5 stars 252
In her midforties and settled into the responsibilities and routines of adulthood, Dani Shapiro found herself with more questions than answers. Was this all life was - a hodgepodge of errands, dinner dates, e-mails, meetings, to-do lists? What did it all mean? Having grown up in a deeply religious and traditional family, Shapiro had no personal sense of faith, despite repeated attempts to create a connection to something greater.

Deep and insightful
Reviewed: 01-25-25
Another winner by Dani Shapiro. Devotion is the memoir of a seeker and a keen observer of the emotional landscape inhabited by deep feelers and overthinkers. I don’t know the author but feel such an affinity. Her writing is exquisite. Her vulnerability is inspiring.

Exquisitely written
Reviewed: 10-14-24
A gorgeously rendered memoir of the dissolution of a marriage. I read it directly after finishing Fuller’s earlier memoir, Don’t Let’s Go to the Dog’s Tonight. Her voice and journey are that compelling.

Story5 out of 5 stars 66,048
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

So much respect

A riveting, eye-opening, and brave memoir. Insightful and beautifully written. The English press is a revolting institution with blood on its hands.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 199
In her 40s, with two children, a spouse, a dog, a mortgage, and a full-time job as a tenured law professor at Georgetown University, Rosa Brooks decided to become a cop. A liberal academic and journalist with an enduring interest in law's troubled relationship with violence, Brooks wanted the kind of insider experience that would help her understand how police officers make sense of their world — and whether that world can be changed.

A liberal law professor becomes a police officer
- By William on 03-14-21
- Tangled Up in Blue
- Policing the American City
- By: Rosa Brooks
- Narrated by: Hillary Huber
Reviewed: 03-31-21
Rosa Brooks, law professor by day, police reserve officer by night, gives readers an unvarnished, apolitical account of the real world of policing. She depicts the complexities of policing high crime neighborhoods; by the end of the book she has founded a police development academy with Georgetown University. Personal, witty, and beautifully written, this is the perfect book to assign in students thinking about policing as a career.

Wonderful! Couldn’t stop listening
Reviewed: 06-05-19
So much to love in this book! Lori Gottlieb’s wrenching tale is both funny and wise, and filled to the brim with gems about the human condition, our struggles to be understood, and the powerful bond between therapists and their patience. Gottlieb is a brave narrator who pulls you into her life and keeps you there for HOURS. You emerge wiser and more calm.
