 Blood, Ash and Bone by Tina Whittle, Poisoned Pen Press: Whittle,
a Cochran native, has written her third novel mystery in the Tai
Randolph series, and what a great effort it is. Full of suspense and
intricate weaving of personality and character. Well worth reading.

 Zondervan
Publishing/ISBN 0310314690 (ISBN13: 9780310314691), Joni & Ken The
Untold Story, Joni Eareckson Tada and Ken Tada: When
I was a youth in church, I first head of Joni Eareckson Tada. I
remember carrying around her story and reading it everywhere – to a
point where it became tattered. Her story was more than just
inspirational and real, it was God’s way of telling us He loves us all
even our differences.

In Daughter of Jerusalem, Joan Wolf writes a piece of a fictionalized

 St. Martin's/ISBN ISBN-10: 0312643330
(ISBN-13: 978-0312643331), Market Street by Anita Hughes
Anita Hughes’ Market Street is truly a sweet breath of fresh air for
those who are just looking for something to read that is not
complicated, but is pretty good, and an easy read. The characters are
charming and personable and very real – which in fiction novels that is
not always the case. There is humor, sadness and love.

 Stories We Tell Ourselves by Michelle Herman, University of Iowa Press, ISBN-10: 160938153X, ISBN-13 978-1609381530: Life
is messy. But telling stories about life makes messy bearable, and
sometimes, livable. And in Stories We Tell Ourselves, Michelle Herman
has penned two essays that can serve that purpose. Somewhat
light-hearted while at the same time thought-provoking and a little bit
of eccentric, Herman has this endearing and charming way of presenting
two subjects.
