 * //Left to Tell//** by Immaculee Ilibagiza--This is the story of a women who survived the Rwandan Holocaust. Amidst all the horror and suffering--surrounded with reasons to live a life filled with sorrow and bitterness--is a woman who finds hope and grace. It is a true story of love and faith. It is an inspirational read. I couldn't put it down this summer.


 * //The Life of Pi//** by Yann Martel -- This is a book I have read and reread a few times. Each time I read this book I discover another layer in the story. I love this book because it made me think and rethink about my view of the world and of religion. It is a book for adults. I love the message that I took away from reading this book--which was--"Believing in something that cannot be proven true or false--can be a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing!


 * Anna Karenina** by Leo Tolstoy--A book ove, death, hope, and the power & influence of society...this book took me on a journey. The first time I read this book I was on vacation in Turkey. While my friends were swimming, I reclined in a beach chair and read, read, read...tears dripping down my cheeks. I was so engrossed in this story. It took me to a world that no longer exists--a time in the past. It has also helped me to see inside the lives of characters who are very different from me--allowing me to understand points of view that are different from my own.
