Vanishing Act

This is yet another book by Jodi Picoult. I love her stuff and once I start a book of hers I can not put it down. I am on my way to the library today to see if I can find anything else.
This book was about a woman who was raised by her father and was told that her mother died when she was a little girl. It turns out that the father actually kidnapped her when she was 4 years old and he changed their identities. It has been 28 years since the kidnapping took place and the police have now found him with some new evidence. It is very captivating. It also talks a lot about prison and makes me sure that I never want to go there nor have anyone I love there. Go and get this book because it is too good!!!

Where Yesterday Lives

This book is by one of my favorite authors, Karen Kingsbury. She is such an easy read and is a Christian writer, so you know things are going to be clean. I tried to read this book several years ago and for some reason just could not get into it. It is about a lady whose father has died and she is going back home to her mom and 4 siblings to bury him. Her family has not gotten along for the past 12 years or so and it is about them learning about eachother as they are dealing with their father's death. It was very moving and made me think often of my Papa and the week that we were planning for his death and funeral.
