Mrs. Mike

This month Cecilia picked our new book; we will be reading Mrs. Mike by Benedict and Nancy Freedman. Here is a brief description of what the book is about:

Mrs. Mike...is the story of the start of young love, its growth to maturity, and its acceptance of a dangerous, hard, but enthralling life. A moving love story set in the Canadian wilderness, Mrs. Mike is a classic tale that has enchanted millions of readers worldwide. It brings the fierce, stunning landscape of the Great North to life-and tenderly evokes the love that blossoms between Sergeant Mike Flannigan and beautiful young Katherine Mary O'Fallon.

So check your local library, borrow it from a friend who has it, or, if you're wanting to build up a library collection of your own, purchase it. Have fun reading!

Debby's Tuesday Teaser

"Ignore them and they'll stop bothering you, " my mom and the counselor said. So that's what I tried to do. Everytime Dara, Kat, or any of their friends abused me, instead of fighting back and sticking up for my rights, I responded with a verbal comeback, or I acted as if they weren't there. The more I showed how "mature" I could be, the more determined they were to get my goat. What had started out as a simple payback for being a tattle tale had mutated into something far more serious.

Liz's Teaser Tuesday

But forgiveness...I'll hold on to that fragile slice of hope and keep it close, remembering that in each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice. We're each of us our own chiaroscuro, our own bit of illusion fighting to emerge into something solid, something real. We've got to forgive ourselves that. I must remember to forgive myself. Because there's an awful lot of gray to work with. No one can live in the light all the time.

Cecilia's Teaser

It was possible in the camp, as men died, to come into possession of objects of some value--shirt, shorts, knives, and occasionally, watches.  The Thais would pay gladly for them in their paper money known as "bahts."  A baht was worth about twenty-one cents.  Or they would barter for the goods, offering medicines or duck eggs.

Reminder
