Review: The Help

Characters well written – I like how she wrote in three different character’s voices throughout the novel. A tricky subject that I think was handled respectfully. I have not […]

Review: Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand My rating: 4 of 5 stars What an incredible story of endurance, survival, torture and heroism.
