The Children's BlizzardThe Children's Blizzard by Melanie Benjamin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Over 133 years ago a devastating blizzard hit the Midwestern prairies. This story is how two sisters made different decisions and how the consequences of their decision affected them and the community for the rest of their lives. This is a compelling story however I did not find myself connecting with any of the characters and therefore the book lost its enjoyment for me.

The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr. My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a deeply moving story of love, power and betrayal set in the deep south pre-civil war. The atrocities of plantation life juxtaposed with the beauty of the love shared by two young enslaved men was stunning. Powerful writing about life in and around a place called Empty.

The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall My rating: 5 of 5 stars Based on conversations between Jane Goodall and author/ publisher Douglas Abrams this book gives sage advise on not only what we have done to our planet but also what her four hopes/actions are for the future. Ms. Goodall's hopes for our future as a species are: human intellect, nature's resilience, the power of young people, and "the indomitable human spirit." Such hope from such an important naturalist and environmental activist. View all my reviews
