The Opposite of Worry by Lawrence J. Cohen

Highly recommended for parents with anxious kids, or who are anxious themselves! A great read with simple to do activities and recommendations. ~ Tabitha K.


A collection of essays by Black writers chronicling, and reflecting on the Black experience in America over the last 400 years. A well executed collaborative; each piece flows well into the next. Worth the read! ~ Mary T.


This book travels with Peter from childhood through Covid-19. Somewhat of a child prodigy in terms of his guitar playing, he became known in elite circles for this skill. We all know him for his "Frampton Comes Alive" album that knocked Carole King's Tapestry off the top of the charts at the time, but this success became a bar too high to be replicated, and he knew it. The impression I got from reading his words is that he is humble, thankful, and generous. Worth the read. ~ Linda J.

This book was so much fun to read as a woman in her early 30's. Jacobson was so honest and brave with her storytelling which was incredibly refreshing to read and witness. ~ Mary R.
