I could not put this book down. This is a true story about a woman, who is a mother of two and a hairdresser that realizes she want and needs more in her life. She goes to Kabul to volunteer and feels she has “come home.” She comes up with the idea to open a Beauty School to help the women of Afghanistan change their lives. This is no easy feat and with lots of help she realizes this dream. On the way she meets wonderful women and gets married to an Afghan man. Her journey is fascinating and getting a glimpse into the daily life of an American dealing with the cultural differences, the customs, and living in a war torn community makes for interesting reading.

Loved this book. IT is a story about two sisters in their 20’s and their best friend Paul. They spent their childhood years at their summer beach homes on Fire Island and it is about this triangular relationship between the 3 of them. Their final summer at the beach brings tremendous change when a long standing attraction, serious illness and secrets all collide and change their lives forever.

A little about me and my site. I was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago. I spent some time at the University of Madison in Wisconsin and then graduated from Northeastern University in Chicago with a degree in Human Resources. I have lived in Florida, Milwaukee and currently I live in St. Louis Mo.( for almost 20 years). I worked for Jenny Craig for 13 years and it was a wonderful experience where I met a lot of great people and got to travel around the country for 6 of those years. s. I have been married for 13 years and have two wonderful children. I love to read and find there is just never enough time to get to all the great books out there. About 5 years ago I got the idea that I should start keeping track of all the great books I was reading and I started giving them a small review and then at the end of the year I would send out the list to all my friends. Over the years I have gotten great feedback about my list and nothing makes me happier then when someone chooses to read a book I have recommended and has enjoyed it, or has passed the list on to their friends or even their own book clubs. So now you won’t have to wait all year to see what I have been reading. My friends also know that I am ALWAYS looking for good books and asking them what they are currently reading. I hope this site will help my reading friends find some good books to read but to also share what they have enjoyed with me.
