"I've always had a fascination with lighthouses, so this book really piqued my interest. The original event occurred in 1972 and the book switches between then and 20 years later when an author begins researching and writing a book about the events. There were parts that were interesting, but overall it kind of dragged on. So-so."

"This book was a page-turning thriller, but it was also a story of family and love and the lengths people will go to in order to protect their family. Hannah is a furniture maker who marries a man (Owen) with a 16-year-old daughter (Bailey) and relocates from NYC to CA. Life between them is great; life with the teenager is bumpy. And then, suddenly, Owen disappears amid a huge scandal involving the company he works for. Hannah is visited by a US Marshall and the FBI but ultimately she and Bailey set out to figure things out for themselves. A page-turner, but a page-turner with more to it than the average thriller."

"An excellent tale of two brothers sent to a school for Indians. It’s a terrible place….after a tragedy occurs, the brothers and two friends run away..thus begins the adventure of the four Vagabonds…"
The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano
by Donna Freitas
"An interesting book about the choices we make and how they change our life, as well as listening to one's inner voice and staying true to your own needs vs. outside pressures. Rose and her husband agree that they don't want children—but then he changes his mind. From there, the story splinters into 9 different paths Rose might take. It was a bit hard to keep all 9 lives straight at a few points, but the different paths, and where they converged or veered apart, were interesting. Lots to think about...."
