Nice couple twists at the end, one I guessed and the other I did not. This was a recommendation from my niece who turned me on to this author.

Yet another WWII story, but one of the best, with messages that leap out as warnings for today. This story focuses on the horror that befell the Greek Jews in Thessaloniki - a city that had provided safe harbor for more than 50,000 Jews. But less than 2,000 survived the Nazi holocaust. Interestingly, the story is told by Truth as a figment. It focuses on the separate paths of two brothers and their girlfriend, all initially in their early teens, plus the evil Nazi commander who oversees their round-up, transport, then their abject life in the Auschwitz concentration camp. 5 Stars!

Terrific book! Grabs the reader on page one and the suspense continues to the very end. Best book I’ve read this year.

Thoughtful thriller that invites the reader to briefly experience the Ojibwe way of life in modern day Minnesota & Canada.

Love the way Lucy writes this book showing a male's struggles and concerns in a mainly female work environment. The romance in the story is well written and makes you want to read just another chapter more before bed.

Of course, the only question for the reader is in what form disaster will come

Classic tale of a pre-teen girl's challenges in coming to a new home and school, making new friends, all while dealing with physical changes and deeper questions of God and religion.

Iona is a surprising, eclectic train commuter who breaks the unspoken protocols of rules of riders: mind your own business and respect each others' space. Iona does break the code and thereby develops close friends among those who regularly sit nearby. As a magazine advice guru, Iona helps others to make big life changes. She is so fun - I hope the author can bring her back in a sequel for more adventures.

This 3rd book in the quilting series highlights a group of close friends who had met at the Elm Creek Quilting Camp. They set themselves a challenge of quilting a block to bring to the next year's camp to be made into a single quilt. However, they could not begin working on their block until having solved a major problem that impacted their joy of life - whether mental, physical, career, family, or whatever. It's another page-turner, but as an audiobook, I found it hard the keep the names & situations straight.

This story follows a shy wayward boy to man whose parents ignored him while he was growing up. He was shunned at school but found friendship on the basketball court. Then in college 4 tightly knit sisters take him under their wing. Thumbs up and a huge tear-jerker, with a happy enough ending.
