OF MICE AND MEN BY JOHN STEINBECK

This is an intimate portrait of two men, George and Lennie, facing a world marked by petty tyranny. misunderstanding, jealousy and callousness.  

The theme is universal.  It is about a friendship and shared dream that makes an individuals existence meaningful.

WENDY AND THE LOST BOYS BY JULIE SALAMON

The book tells the story of the life of Wendy Wasserstein.

I found this book to be a very interesting portrait of a playwright who had to deal with a very difficult family in a very difficult time period.

WILD BY CHERYL STAYED

This is a blazingly honest memoir:  the story of an eleven hundred mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe and built her back up again.

It captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened and ultimately healed her.

It's from LOST TO FOUND ON THE PACIFIC COAST TRAIL.


Stunning, an incredible journey inward and outward!!!!
