Turn of Mind


A heart breaking story about dementia. How a life is stolen and another is taken.

Not a fan of the format but it was a captivating story.

Gemini Summer

Being a Gemini I had to read this book. Of course it had NOTHING to do with that at all but I can be simple minded.


Two brothers, friends and enemies. One devastating afternoon changes it all. A dog. A dream. The Gemini mission.

A must read for summer.

Queen of Water


Imagine being a young girl, only 7 years old and you are forced to leave your family. Forced by wealthy people to be their maid, nanny, cook...their slave. Your are beaten, tormented, verbally abused, belittled.
Then one day you find the courage to go home. But what is home?

A beautiful story of finding your family, your place and changing the way you look at yourself.
