A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
- In this day of political correctness to the extreme, it's a good reminder of what the immigrants at the turn-of-the-century faced, and how they overcame obstacles, rather than expecting to be taken care of. Good coming-of-age story with lessons for all about perserverence and effort.
- —PittsburghReaders
The Book Thief
- A beautifully written, captivating book about the Holocaust but really about so much more. Amazing that you can fall in love with a book about such a devastating subject but you truly will.

My Book Club Loved...
- The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It's very different from most books, but there is a love story at the core, and the themes are universal.
