Wife 22 by Melanie Gideon

Fun read, got angry with Alice as she used modern day social media to start an "emotional affair" with another man online ~~ however, a fun twist at the end reveals the real truth and a great dialogue on marriage, its ups and downs, and the challenge and tenacity it takes to be faithful and creative.

The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton

This was a book club read, my 3rd by this author. Love her stories, always a historical background and lots of twists. This crazy ending caught me off-guard, but it made perfect sense after the bouncing between 1941 and 2011. Told by Lauren, the daughter who is watching her mom die, the story delves back to her mom's younger years during the London Blitz during World War II --and uncovers the many secrets that Lauren always wondered about. When Lauren has her last conversation with her mom, with full revealing of all the mysteries; the Mom passes away. So Biblical -- the freedom that comes when the Truth is revealed.

South of Superior by Ellen Airgood

Enjoyable, light read! First time author writes about leaving Chicago to settle in a small town in the UP, on the coast of Lake Superior. Interesting characters in this small town, and the heroine "finds" herself as she delves into her history; and forgives her birth family for abandoning her.

A New Start

I am back at it! A little discouraging to not blog while in Israel, as my blog was "stolen"!! It was in Hebrew and I couldn't figure out how to change it. So my daughter reminded me that she hadn't read any of my book reviews, and I realized that I haven't written anything since Israel, by the way --the most incredible trip ever. So -- see you soon.
