This was a great book from Mary Cooney-Glazer. The characters were well developed and the story was perfectly set in a small town, with some events also in Boston and Cambridge, so the reader wasn't bored with just one setting. While some romance novels can be formulaic, this was not. The characters were unique and not the same old stock issue of "best friend" and "helpful neighbor" I for one want to hear more about Jake and Eileen! Hopefully the author will continue her storytelling, she's gifted at it!

This is a work of fiction that could be taking place right now in one of the many corporations out there. The author did a great job giving voice to the many participants of a business merger or acquisition. As I was involved in two of them with very similar results to those described in this book, it made for some very interesting reading.

If you follow the current business climate and read with incredulity about the million dollar bonus to yahoo's CEO for a "stellar" six months of work you'll really enjoy this book, more so if you are a mid-level manager struggling to make ends meet.

The book comes across very warmly and the work is easy to keep up with. I couldn't put this down.

Thoroughly recommended.
Enjoy

I've enjoyed Sue Monk Kidd's other writing but this book is spectacular.  It is well researched, informative and fun! I loved her commentary at the end.

Jennifer Handford's second book Acts of Contrition was a wonderful read.  The character development was terrific; I found myself pulling for Mary and her journey to mend her relationship with her husband Tom.

I absolutely loved this book. Once I was a few chapters in, I couldn't set it down. I really enjoyed the style  jumping between the past and the present. The characters were well developed and interesting, and I adored Marnie's BFF because I think many of us have a best friend like that who we treasure. And let's be honest, it brought back some 19-year-old memories of my own! Stephanie's book tackled a tough issue in a very real way, focusing on human emotions vs. "right vs. wrong" and I think she handled it fantastically. I'd definitely recommend it. I'm going to read it again!

Very engrossing book, and it made me rethink my formerly positive impressions of Sarah Henderson. After all the struggles Marlee has endured, it's gratifying to see that they've managed to keep the station and prosper (check out the Bullo website ~ still in business in September 2014). The copy I received is even signed by Marlee, something that wasn't mentioned in the description when I ordered it. Definitely an added bonus!

Loved this book ~ you go, Marlee!

I really enjoyed reading this book.  Sue Monk Kidd makes it easy to relate to the class distinction between Sarah and Hetty. She interweaves this relationship skillfully by layering each characters stories. The growing relationship between the two women is compelling. Very thoughtful and insightful book. Good reading and worth the time. I recommend it.

This book was quite exciting and I was so concerned about how things would turn out for ranch hand Samuel Cougar as he had so many personal difficulties facing him.  His finances weren't the best, as he had to care for his father who had Alzheimer's while also working full time on the Wylde ranch.  It seemed as if one bad thing after another kept happening to him which I could totally relate to because life is like that sometimes.  One scene in particular was quite eerie as he, in a sort of half-dream, encounters his dead relatives.  That was spooky good writing.  ;) This book was awesome.

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book for review from Clever. The whole review is on my blog Dash of Evans.

I really, really enjoyed this book. Yes, it was long, but it was super informative. I do agree with other reviewers that it could have been cut to around 200 pages, but I did find the information provided well researched and interesting. I have the whole book earmarked and highlighted--tons of great tips and information. While this book is aimed towards mostly women, it is a nationwide problem for both sexes. I feel there is not enough emphasis on family and LIVING. I love the solutions suggested and how the book is broken into 3 parts.

I highly recommend this book for any working mother who is trying to juggle it all.

I really enjoyed this book. It gave me great information that not everything has to be perfect because God doesn't want or need perfection .God wants you where you are at. The author was very honest about how she always felt like she had to be perfect and plan for huge parties but in reality your relationship with Jesus is so much more than any planning that you can do. Celebrate your love of Jesus. It was a very encouraging book and I would recommend it to others. I received a free copy from Barbour Publishing and I voluntarily chose to review it.

The book was great. I read it in 2 hours-one sitting. I couldn't
put it down. The great thing is that it is NOT BORING. . I
believe there are some great principles that all working Americans should learn about. I am sure people are just waiting for some good advice so that they can eliminate the frustration in the workplace. We spend 8 (or more) out of 15 waking hours each day at work so we should do everything we can to make it as pleasant as possible. We want peaceful lives. Ty has a great sense of humor,  which makes it even more interesting. I just LOVED THE PICTURES! I look forward to applying the principles she
suggested so I can eliminate frustration now and in the
future.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from cover to cover.  It was witty and interesting and I learned so much about Detroit.  I thought Ms. Bragg did a wonderful job and look forward to reading more of her books on Detroit.

The Condoleezza Rice Story was a great overview on Condi's childhood, academics, and her many careers.
Antonia Felix starts the book with the background of Condi's parents and emphasizes the importance of education even in her ancestry. She then goes into detail of Condi's childhood and how she grew up and the importance her childhood had on her adult life.
The author also mentions Condi's education and how important learning was to her. Condi was very educated and even later became a Professor.
The book also does a great job at giving Condi's careers chronologically. Condi is very successful and has done exceptionally well in each of her professions.
I really enjoyed reading The Condoleezza Rica story. The author did a great job at telling about Condi's childhood, academics, and many careers.

I checked this book out of my local library, and was gald I did.
Rick Bragg's mother reminded me of my own.  Another rviewer said Mrs. Bragg should have gotten a job.  The lady already picked cotton from daylight til dark, then took in ironing which she worked at half the night.  Rick Bragg's family lived in a different time, when southern poverty was far worse than it is today.  Picking cotton and ironing are not jobs for the faint of heart.  Bragg made it quite clear in his book how hard his mother worked at horrible jobs to make a life for her children.  She was the glue that held this book together and gave it a shine.  If you love your mother, love or have a certain curiosity about the south, you need to read this one.

This book has really shared a great deal of fantastic research on role women are playing in all areas of government and finance.  It has some enlightening points-of-views on what it is really like to be a woman in Washington. Thank you Jay for sharing your experiences in the field with us and helping us understand a bit better where women stand today in america.

I thought this was a good book; I liked the characters and how they all seemed to come together to help each other. They all seem to have special bonds to one another. Mattie has been there the longest so she knows just  about everyone. She left her home in the south when she was 17 and had a  baby. Lucielia's boyfriend is leaving her and then something terrible  happens. Mattie was there to help pick up the pieces.  Etta Mae is the wild  one on Brewster, always partying and looking for a man. Mattie, also a part  of Etta Mae's life and proves to be a true friend. Kiswana, her mother  thinks she is too good for Brewster, always has her hands in something and  goes out of her way to show Cora that she really cares. Cora loves babies,  but only if they could stay babies. Lorraine and Theresa are  "different" they came to Brewster Place to get away from the kind  of people who make stereotypes, but even in Brewster they were considered  out casts. The Woman of Brewster Place made me think, I would recommend it  to anyone looking for an interesting book.
