Will have you laughing out loud. Catherine and Greg just sparkle with love and laughter. A Very Definite KEEPER!

I'm not kidding when I say that Michaels is a genius in romance novels. I have read The Merry Widows: Mary, and now she hands me this great book called The Merry Widows: Catherine. I loved Lord Romeo, the cat, and the hen. I liked the cat best. I liked Catherine because she isn't afraid of being a tomboy. A woman climbing trees back then was scandalous. I stayed up until 4:00 AM reading it. It was fantastic! I liked Gregory because he was just sooooooooooooo romantic. If Catherine is this good, I can't wait to read The Merry Widows: Sarah. Michaels, your stories are the best!

This is a good, warm, story that was fun to read. But two more were promised...Mary is only one of three widows. I'd like to see what happens to the other two. Will there be sequels? If yes, when? Who do we ask?

ROMANCE AT IT'S BEST. MICHAELS IS A DREAM COME TRUE. I LOVED THE STORY. IT WAS GREAT. TOTALLY GREAT. HOORAY FOR MICHAELS!

As an author myself, I search for references that cover new concepts in a concise, comprehensive, and inviting way. Grossman and Valiga give us just what's needed to motivate nurses to think about the importance of acquiring leadership skills at all levels of nursing. Beautifully designed, well written, and just the right size (Seinfeld would definitely call it "bag-worthy"), this book uses a concise format to cover everything from stewardship to chaos theory in context of a changing health care setting.

I recommend this book for any student or nurse. If you happen to teach nurses, you'll love the critical thinking exercises that guide and challenge new nurses to ponder their own growth as a leader.

Hopefully we will continue to hear from The Key West Co-op. These insightful writers capture the essence of what is wacky and wonderful about Key West.

I am one the the group of 12 who cooperatively wrote and published this book of south Florida short stories. Living in what some call "paradise" produces a unique life experience which we want to share with those living more traditional lifestyles. You'll enjoy a tropical getaway with each story. Read them slowly, they'll last a long time in your memory.

What a terrific suspenseful mystery for pre-teens and teenagers. Even as an adult, I loved it. A true modern-day Nancy Drew story!

This book is great for early teens who would like a good mystery. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down! Enjoy!

The Pink Lady is the most fascinating book I have ever read. I kept reading and reading and reading and I could not stop reading it. It got interesting and interesting every minute. Definitely a book to buy!

A real page turner. Couldn't put it down

This is a powerful healing process presented in a support group framework. The use of creative healing rituals and "Living Scripture Exercises" create a powerful spiritual vehicle reconciling the post-abortive person with God and their aborted child. It is also the basis for weekend retreats offered across the USA that can be found at...

I believe this book is best used when it is presented in the group weekend at Rachel's Vineyard Retreats. There is such power when a group of men and women in pain meet to find the truth of God, the forgiveness and healing that only He can offer. By entering through faith into the scripture enactments one makes a conscience walk of faith to go through the motions, suddenly the Word of God becomes powerful and pertinent to some for the first time. To see others and hear their hearts flow with saddness, regret, remorse and denial links the missing pieces for many. The Holy Spirt is present and working in these souls as they discover there is a road to healing and they have finally found it. There is a continuation to healing as well. Not every scripture is necessary or helpful for each group. There are many to choose from. I believe with a companion post-abortion Bible Study (on-going),such as, Forgiven and Set Free by Linda Cochrane this book is an integral part of healing.

_The Secret of Hurricanes_ is filled with all the poetry and terror of a coming storm. Ostensibly a narrative of one woman's life, the images and events of the story seem to illustrate the sickness of an entire culture, rather than the miseries of the narrator's own history. The book is tragic, earthy, darkly gruesome, and difficult to put down.

I stumbled across this book quite by accident a few days ago - and I'm so very glad I did. After reading it (it's a short but amazingly fulfilling read) I've placed it with the books that have touched me the deepest in the last few years. This is an incredibly moving account of the pain - and the healing - experienced by the narrator. It's a story that should be read widely - it's one that can illuminate and inspire, as well as 'simply' entertain.

I won't go into the plot of the novel too deeply - the book is a short one, and I don't want to rob the reader of experiencing it firsthand. Set in the South, the story is told by Pearl Starling, a woman who is considered to be 'odd' by those who live near her - she's pretty much a hermit, living in a trailer in the woods, weaving rugs out of scraps of clothing to support herself. She narrates the story of her life to her unborn daughter - she knows intuitively, she feels, that the child is female. There is much speculation in the minds of her neighbors as to the father of the child - and she's not telling. The life that she has led, as it unfolds in her narrative, is a tragic and painful one. Starved for love by her callous father - who continually reminds everyone how much he wanted a son - and by her mother, whose spirit has been crushed by living with a man who cares only for himself and his own needs, Pearl seeks love in other places. She soon comes to discover that the lives into which she has stepped are far from the perfection she seeks.

The language in which the book is written is perfectly in tune with the narrator's situation, as well as with the time and place. Through simple, uncluttered speech, Pearl tells her story to her daughter within her - and in doing so, allows the reader to glimpse her soul on a much deeper level. The story of hurt laid out on these pages is a sad one - but the opportunity for the reader to see and experience the courage and fortitude with which Pearl faces her pain and reclaim her life as her own is a precious gift and an inspiration.

There are people in 'real life' who face the pain and trauma with which Pearl is forced to deal - and there are those among them who possess all of her strength and courage and determination, and more. I've been blessed to know one of them in my life, to love her and be amazed by her - this is one of the most moving depictions of that sort of courage I've ever seen. Theresa Williams has written a first novel that has the power and ability to touch the reader's soul - I hope she writes many more, but this first offering is a precious gift.

Our family has the fortune of having Frank Finale as a teacher to both our children.

He has done a wonderful job capturing the Jersey Shore for all of its charms and the many artists who live here.

First, the editors of To the Shore Once should be congratulated. They chose 101 drawings, etchings,and paintings from local New Jersey and some national artists. These works of Art complement Mr. Frank Finale's writing in essays, prose and poetry. You, turn the page and you feel like you are at the beach in Spring Lake, Belmar or Manasquan. Even the carrousel of 1950s Asbury Park is represented. As I think of Frank O'Hara's book on Jackson Pollock, To The Shore Once More will become a classic coffee table book for years to come. Art and prose and poetry, what a nice mix. We have Mr. Frank Finale to thank for such a beautiful book this Summer
