Meow's Guest Entry
I just read Sharon Rocha's book, "For Laci." Great book - the absolute best of the Peterson books - probably because she didn't rush it to print.
Debbie Macomber:
I started reading another book - this one fiction:
"Between Friends" by Debbie Macomber, paperback, published 2002 by Mira,
ISBN: 1-55166-674-X
My best friend gave me this book to read on a plane. I started reading it in the
airport last night and finished it the next morning. It's a paperback of 400 pages,
entirely consisting of written correspondence between two friends, and their lovers,
parents, and personal diaries.
For an excerpt, see here:
http://www.debbiemacomber.com/betweenfriendsexcerpt.htmI can't begin to tell you how much Iloved this book!! The two friends
are of my generation, both born in 1948, one from a family of privledge,
and the other from a large poor family riddled with abuse and alcoholism.
The correspondence takes you through 50 years of a remarkable friendship.
If you've ever had a best friend, you can relate. If you've not been
so fortunate, it makes you wish you had.
It was published in 2002, and might be out of print, but Amazon has it:
http://www.amazon.comIt has a 5 star rating!
And you can buy it cheap!
Historical events are mentioned and it's interesting to note how the characters react to history unfolding. Anyone old enough to remember JFK's assination can relate to this book. And if you are younger, it may help you understand your
mother. And if you were raised Catholic, all the better!
Now run out and buy it. And keep a box of tissue handy while you're reading!
