From Cradle to Stage by Virginia Hanlon Grohl
Interesting individual stories about the moms behind the stars, commonalities in the children's temperaments, and how that is transferring to the current generation of rock stars. I recently read Dave Grohl's book and really respect his parenting decisions and choices in life, so wanted to follow up with this book by his former-teacher mom. ~ Linda J.
I haven't read a space-based science fiction book in a long time and I thoroughly enjoyed this one! The characters are well developed and the descriptions really allowed me to imagine the settings and situations. This is the first book of 4 in the Wayfarer series and I will definitely be reading them all! ~ Michelle F.
Health Aid, Olivia, returns home from assisting with Liberia's Haag epidemic. As a public health precaution, she and her family quarantine for seven days during the Christmas holiday. The lockdown creates a chance for them to be reacquainted/reconnect. It was a decent story, albeit I felt the pacing was slow. It was funny, a tad sad, and has a happy/hopeful ending. ~ Mary T.
A young boy finds he can talk to newly dead people. His mom tries to keep it quiet in order to keep him safe. Good read, great ending! ~ Karen S.
