This story of Martha Ballard, a 1780s midwife in a small village on the edge of the Mass. wilderness, is based on an actual, courageous woman who would have disappeared from history, if not for her detailed diary. The story centers on a rape and murder trial and reflects how our court system functioned at this time. An excellent novel, one of the best I've read over the past year.

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

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!
