A chance encounter brings two Iranian teenagers together. Their love blossoms and they have plans to marry, but racism and classism pull them apart. Slowly, they each move on. But, their love for each other never dies. It's a good read. I did have some difficulty getting into the book, but after awhile I couldn't put it down. The characters are loveable and I am sad that it's finished! This was read for book club, and I anticipate a lively discussion. ~ Mary T. 
The White Road by Edmund De Waal
Wonderfully interesting book about the history of porcelain, with stops in China, Cornwall England, France, Dresden, South Carolina, over hundreds of years. Very freewheeling and some philosophical byways (the nature of Whiteness) Long book but short chapters, so easy to read in pieces. ~ Paula S. 
The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict
Eye-opening story about the main character who I knew nothing about, except her her stardom. She was brilliant during a time that didn't accept women as important figures. ~ Carolyn S.
At times informational and at times powerful, Poitier looks not only at his career, but the moments that shaped his life. Often he takes an unsparing look at what he feels makes life better and I found myself surprised by his choices and stunned by his admissions. This is not a salacious tale of sex and drugs like so many celebrity memoirs, but rather an honest, often raw look at life. Well worth the time. ~ Cameron L.
