I'm reminded of a time long ago when I watched a televised version of "A Bridge to Terabithia" with my son. When it was over he asked me why I wanted us to watch it since I knew it would make him sad. I didn't know how to answer that question and I don't really know why I'm recommending this book. Just maybe it's good to face some grim truths in fiction. Shep Knacker has dreamed and saved for years for an escape he calls "The Afterlife". He wants to move to an island where his nest egg can support his wife and himself for the rest of their lives. He's finally ready to do it, and tells himself he's going whether or not his wife will come with him. Then his wife breaks news of her own - she has been diagnosed with cancer and desperately needs his health insurance. Shep's best friend, Jackson, also faces overwhelming medical expenses because his daughter has Familial Dysautonomia, a rare disease affecting people of Jewish decent. Jackson rails against the medical profession, the insurance industry, the government, and anything else he can think of while Shep continues to be the self-sacrificing good guy. Some of Jackson's tirades can be a little tedious and as the reader progresses through the 400+ pages you do get the feeling of a long slog along with Shep and Jackson. But it is worth the effort.

Who will inherit the beautiful Millbank estate and its wealth? That is the question on everyone’s mind when Squire Irving dies, leaving behind the greedy widow of his spendthrift elder son and her son Frank as well as his younger son, who was born under a cloud of suspicion. At the outset of the book, it seems that he has loved his younger son enough to look past his uncertain birth and bestow upon him the bounty that he is leaving behind. It is clear from the beginning of the novel that Roger, the younger son, is well-deserving of this love. Generous to a fault, his character is an upright and honest one that the reader comes to admire. The plot quickly grows complex with the addition of a baby girl, Magdalen, that Roger unwittingly takes into custody when her mother abandons her. As the children grow, Roger and Frank find themselves vying for Magdalen’s heart as well as for the Millbank estate. The love triangle is complicated by the machinations of Frank’s mother which end in tragedy when a newer will is discovered, disinheriting Roger and leaving everything to Frank. This shattering discovery, though tragic when it occurs, leads to the discovery of several unsuspected ties and an ultimately happy resolution. The plot moves swiftly, propelled by full-bodied characters that elicit a strong response in the reader. In the end, good triumphs over evil and we are reminded that, come what may, if we live upright and faithful lives, we’ll find contentment and joy in anything, even poverty and loss. I was intrigued by this book when I read that it was the only book of fiction that Laura Ingalls Wilder’s mother had in their house. Having read it, I can see why. It was a wonderfully satisfying read and, if you can find it in the library, I’d certainly recommend it!

I am/was a huge fan of Anne Rice, on the strength of her vampire series, despite her spats against her fans not understanding her vision on her later books, and despite that they got more and more thin on the ground in terms of plot. People are always surprised when I tell them that Rice is exceedingly Catholic. Maybe it was about time that she moved on to new pastures. I couldn't finish Christ the Lord, not because it was a religious read, but because the POV was a 7 year old Jesus. Bless her ability to write, but the world seen through the eyes of a 7 year old came off as too hard a read, and I couldn't stick with it. Too dry, too simple, too boring.

Wonderful growing-up story in the former colony of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Lots of humor, lots of bittersweet family stories.
Read the book first!!

Sweet, silly, enjoyable tales. Happy endings, magical peril and obsessions with vegetables. I love fairytales, and anyone who does will love these.
