BOOK REVIEW: Informed Consent: Critical Truths Essential to Your Health and to the Health of Future Generations by Michele Stanford, M.Ed., CHC
I began to read Michele’s story and as a woman, my heart was filled with compassion and empathy for her and the situation she was in. As an RN, my heart was filled with rage for how this patient was treated by her physician! Michele was not defined by her circumstances, however. Rather, she decided … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Informed Consent: Critical Truths Essential to Your Health and to the Health of Future Generations by Michele Stanford, M.Ed., CHC

BOOK REVIEW: This Life I Live by Rory Feek
I didn't want to read this book. I first heard about it when I came across an article in a magazine--some Woman's Day-y type of publication, I think. I read some of the article, thought, "Oh, this is a sad story," and put it down. Well, it found me again. Have you ever noticed how … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: This Life I Live by Rory Feek

This book says it's recommended for readers aged 12-17, but I object to narrowing the audience for this book. … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

Book Review: The Box of Daughter
I wanted to read Katherine Mayfield's book 'The Box of Daughter' for a long time before I finally did. This is one of the few times I knew the author before I knew the book. I met Katherine through a Wells-Ogunquit Adult Education class I took several years ago when I was working on my own … Continue reading Book Review: The Box of Daughter

Book Review: What on Earth am I Doing Here?
To be honest, I didn't want to read this book. Why? Because it's about a difficult subject: The Holocaust. I have read extensively about this topic, watched movies (okay, with my glasses off for most of them-and I am extremely nearsighted), visited memorials, and discussed it in classes. I thought I was done. And … Continue reading Book Review: What on Earth am I Doing Here?
