The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter - two sisters, two different perspectives on tragic events. This is a bit dark with fiesty women so right up my alley. It was a bit long - every single thought in every monent of each character is chronicled. B
Everything Happens for a Reason by Kate Bowler (nonfiction) - my pastor referenced this in a couple of sermons so I needed to check it out. Kate is a Duke divinity professor diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The book details how that rocked her world and how those around her reacted to it. The title is one of the "lies" she loves. A
I've Been Thinking ... by Maria Shriver (nonfiction)- I was gifted this and it was the perfect flight read. Short, sweet, genuine, introspective and full of hope. I read several excerpts aloud to my daughter. She has so much faith, but eager to say she doesn't have all the answers and that she's changed her mind on quite a few things along the road of life. I want to have lunch, coffee and dinner with Maria (maybe a sleepover too). A

Is the harm to one worth saving many? I found myself wishing hateful, evil events weren't rooted in truth and hoping others had really taken place. This book has a more hopeful slant to it than many others in this genre. A-
