Defending Jacob by William Landay

The district attorney's son is arrested for the murder of his school friend. Apart from being a fast moving courtroom drama, the psychological affects on the family is heart-breaking. A must read.

A Good American

I recently read this book, A Good American, by Alex George. It was one of those books that you just can't put down. It spans several generations, and each one was so interesting. Lots of characters to fall in love with.

Never Eighteen

This book about life and death among teenagers is characterized as "young adult fiction," but it is far more than that. It is a poignant story of a dying 17-year old boy who wants to set many things straight in the time he has left. Any reader of any age should experience a combination of smiles and tears in this masterfully written novel.
