I found the author’s voice soothing and her words enlightening. The steps are simple, not necessarily easy, but you could go in depth as much as you want. I enjoyed this very much. I will refer back to it and listen to it again. I highly recommend.

Story
It is said that the canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built. For Francisco, a local fisherman who resents the foreign powers clamoring for a slice of his country, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son, Omar, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. But for Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find connection.

I felt there were times when I was reading about myself. There were some funny bits. Some scary bits and some uncomfortable bits- a lot to think about. I enjoyed it.

Story
Rife with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York’s one-percenters, Pineapple Street is a smart, escapist novel that sparkles with wit. Full of recognizable, loveable—if fallible—characters, it’s about the peculiar unknowability of someone else’s family, the miles between the haves and have-nots, and the insanity of first love—all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight.

There should be a wider variety of who’s beauty we are talking about. What about tween’s idea of beauty? What about 50, 60, 70+ year olds experience of beauty?

In Merinac, Kansas, Chicken Mimi's and Chicken Frannie's have spent a century vying to serve up the best fried chicken in the state - and the legendary feud between their respective owners, the Moores and the Pogociellos, has lasted just as long. No one feels the impact more than 35-year-old widow Amanda Moore, who grew up working for her mom at Mimi's before scandalously marrying Frank Pogociello and changing sides to work at Frannie's. Tired of being caught in the middle, Amanda sends an SOS to Food Wars, the reality TV restaurant competition.

This was a fun book for me. It took a long time to get going and I actually had to go back and listen to the first part again after I finished it, but the story is good and the characters are likeable. I think the readers did a good job.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

The other side
Reviewed: 01-24-23
For years we have been bombarded by the caustic headlines of the tabloids. Here is the other side from someone who has known nothing else than being hunted and/or hated his entire life. I enjoyed his Truth. I enjoyed the freshness of his love of life, nature, Africa, the UK, his beloved Granny, friends and his wife; the juxtaposition of death everpresent.

From the celebrated author of The Secret Life of Bees, a magnificent novel about two unforgettable American women. Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world - and it is now the newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection. Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women.
