It's been a rough couple of months, but I continued to read.
Diamond Ruby - by Joseph Wallace - I loved this story about a girl born with long strong arms at the turn of the century (the last century). Ruby and her sister warmed their way into my heart, and along the way, so did Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey. It's an old time baseball story that rings true like all good baseball stories do.
Hurry Down Sunshine is a small biography/memoir/documentary style book about the author Michael Greenberg's daughter's year of madness when she was 15. Mental Illness is an illness like any other, little understood, and not often acknowledged by families. In some cases, it comes on, is treated and is cured. In other cases, it's chronic, and resurfaces throughout life.
