THE INTERNSHIP * HOLD FAST


The Internship - It was so good I wish that I'd seen it in a theater.  Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn have perfected the art of making a movie sweet even through the edgy moments. The Internship is no exception, and if you want a funny and entertaining movie, look no further. Fun, clever, sweet.   Hold Fast by Blue Balliett  - I loved this book, and recommend it for all ages.  This is a story with a huge heart.  The underlying theme is one of hope against obstacles and dashed dreams.  It carries a positive message, and I hope it will someday be the "One Book" read that cities and libraries sometimes sponsor.  Blue Balliett surely wrote this book so that she could spark more than a conversation.  Could there be a national "One Book"? Could there be a revolution?  Will our politicians protect their most needful citizens?  Is it possible to really solve the big problems in our country and the world?  Please read Hold Fast.
