Folly Beach- By Dorothea Benton Fr ank
A woman returns to the past to find her future in this enchanting new tale of loss, acceptance, family, and love.
With its sandy beaches and bohemian charms, surfers and suits alike consider Folly Beach
to be one of South Carolina's most historic and romantic
spots. It is also the land of Cate Cooper's childhood, the place
where all the ghosts of her past roam freely. Cate never thought she'd wind up in this tiny cottage named the Porgy House on this breathtakingly lovely strip of coast. But circumstances have changed, thanks to her newly dead husband whose financial —and emotional—bull and mendacity have left Cate homeless, broke, and unmoored.
Yet Folly Beach holds more than just memories. Once upon a time another woman found unexpected bliss and comfort within its welcoming arms. An
artist, writer, and colleague of the revered George Gershwin, Dorothy Heyward enjoyed the
greatest moments of her life at Folly with her beloved husband,
DuBose. And though the Heywards are long gone, their passion and spirit lingers in
every mango sunset and gentle ocean breeze.
And for Cate, Folly, too, holds the promise of unexpected fulfillment when she is forced to look at her life and the zany
characters that are her family anew. To her surprise, she will
discover that you can go home again. Folly Beach doesn't just
hold the girl she once was . . . it also holds the promise of the
woman she's always wanted —and is finally ready—to become.
Folly Beach, filled with the irresistible charm, saucy wit, and lush atmosphere that have won her the devotion of fans and propelled her books to bestsellerdom, is vintage Dorothea Benton Frank.

One Summer- By David Baldacci
It's almost Christmas, but there is no joy in the house of terminally ill Jack and his family.
With only a short time left to live, he spends his last days preparing to say goodbye to his devoted wife, Lizzie, and their three children. Then, unthinkably, tragedy strikes again: Lizzie is killed in a car
accident. With no one able to care for them, the children are separated from each other and sent to live with family members around the country.
Just when all seems lost, Jack begins to recover in a miraculous turn of events. He rises from what should have
been his deathbed, determined to bring his fractured family
back together. Struggling to
rebuild their lives after Lizzie's
death, he reunites everyone at Lizzie's childhood home on the oceanfront in South Carolina.
And there, over one
unforgettable summer, Jack will
begin to learn to love again, and he and his children will learn
how to become a family once more.

Go The F**k To Sleep- Adam Mansbach
Go the Fuck to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send atoddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane,
affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-
winning author Adam
Mansbach's verses perfectly
capture the familiar —and
unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us
permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity.
With illustrations by Ricardo
Cortes, Go the Fuck to Sleep is beautiful, subversive, and pants-
wettingly funny —a book for parents new, old, and expectant.
You probably should not read it
to your children.

In The Garden Of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family In Hitler's Berlin
Amazon Best Books of the
Month, May 2011 : In the
Garden of Beasts is a vivid portrait of Berlin during the first years of Hitler ’s reign, brought to life through the stories of two people: William E.
Dodd, who in 1933 became America ’s first ambassador to
Hitler’s regime, and his scandalously carefree daughter,
Martha. Ambassador Dodd, an unassuming and scholarly man,
is an odd fit among the extravagance of the Nazi elite.
His frugality annoys his fellow Americans in the State Department and Dodd’s growing misgivings about Hitler ’s ambitions fall on deaf ears among his peers, who are
content to “give Hitler
everything he wants.” Martha, on the other hand, is mesmerized by the glamorous parties and the high-minded conversation of Berlin’s salon society—and flings herself headlong into numerous affairs with the city ’s elite, most
notably the head of the Gestapo and a Soviet spy. Both become players in the
exhilarating (and terrifying) story of Hitler ’s obsession for
absolute power, which culminates in the events of one murderous night, later known as “the Night of Long Knives.”
The rise of Nazi Germany is a
well-chronicled time in history, which makes In the Garden of Beasts all the more remarkable.
Erik Larson has crafted a gripping, deeply-intimate narrative with a climax that reads like the best political thriller, where we are stunned with each turn of the page, even though we already know the outcome.
Get it now at Amazon, its worth buying.

Heaven Is For Real- Todd Burpo, Lynn Vincent
You think you've heard it all about heaven being real? That was exactly what i thought before purchasing and reading this book from amazon. This 196 paged book written by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent is the true
story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins
talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.
Colton said he met his
miscarried sister, whom no one
had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He
describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.
Told by the father, but often in
Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be
ready, there is a coming last
battle.
