When Sandra Leigh was seven years old, she fell into the role of protector of her mother and three younger siblings. One winter night, she ushered her mother out of the house during one of her father’s tirades, and then snuck her back into the dark home through a window. Sandra was used to events like these; what she wasn’t used to were the mountains and nature surrounding her new home in West Virginia.

Gripping, tragic, hopeful
Revisado: 08-16-21
An incredible story of human failure, family, and determination against the odds. Although confronting at times, Vaughan relates the story of her growing up with integrity and grit. It draws you in as you read. At times I wanted to put it down when the story was uncomfortable, but I am very glad I didn’t.

The story delicately balances the concerns of the Mellstock parish choir with a romance between Dick Dewy, a member of the choir, and Fancy Day, the village schoolmistress. While the choir battles for its survival against the new vicar's mechanical church organ, personal conflicts arise over the anachronistic customs of tradition.

Quaint and amusing

I did chuckle as I listened. My first approach to Thomas Hardy’s work has revealed a charming, witty tale of English village life. Loved it.

Booker T. Washington fought his way out of slavery to become an educator, statesman, political shaper, and proponent of the "do-it-yourself" idea. In his autobiography, he describes his early life as a slave on a Virginia plantation, his steady rise during the Civil War, his struggle for education, his schooling at the Hampton Institute, and his years as founder and president of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which was devoted to helping minorities learn useful, marketable skills.

So good to finally read Booker T Washington’s account of his life. It’s been a longtime wish to do so. Inspiring story of a man horn into slavery who does truly wonderful work that benefited countless of his people.

Drawing on their own cross cultural experience in global mission, O'Brien and Richards show how better self-awareness and understanding of cultural differences in language, time, and social mores allow us to see the Bible in fresh and unexpected ways. Getting beyond our own cultural assumptions is increasingly important for being Christians in our interconnected and globalized world. Learn to read Scripture as a member of the global body of Christ.

Opens your eyes
Revisado: 06-22-21
Seeking to adopt a “less Western” approach to the biblical writings? Begin with a book such as this. Clear, confronting, not stodgy. The authors take you on a journey through “the things that don’t need to be said” I.e. our assumptions, and how they look vastly different through non-western eyes. Well narrated - a useful, eye-opening read.

She knows a thing or two
Revisado: 05-26-21
I was looking for a book that would help me explore the inevitability of my own parents’ passing, and I found it here. Although of course the author’s own journey is just that – her own – she has a way of broadening the application to many different sets of circumstances. The author’s mother died before the age of 60. My own parents are in their mid to late 80s. So, my story will be very different. I found myself questioning a few things, but often nodding and agreeing. If this is a topic you are exploring, or would be wise to explore, then this is not a bad place to start.

Set in these three places, this novel follows the life of Sarah as trauma forces her to leave home and begin again in California. A good read, even though it devolves into formulaic romance in the final chapters.
