Book Review: Its Not About Me

Written by Michelle Sutton
Reviewed by Tina Ann Forkner

Annie is the kind of girl any parent would love to have for a daughter. She has a good reputation, makes good grades, and has been accepted at a good college. Annie is on top of the world until it begins to spin out of control. When she is seriously harmed in an act of violence, Annie finds herself caught between two brothers at war and her friends are forced to deal with adult issues they aren’t quite ready for. Sutton deals very directly with difficult true-to-life situations and issues that teens don't always share with their parents, but are facing far too often in their daily lives. She doesn't give pat answers, but through Annie's journey of faith and coming of age, Sutton’s novel is sure to inspire teen readers (and their moms!). Filled with romance, drama, and insight into the lives of teenagers, Sutton is a refreshing voice.

“We didn’t have any information at that point. That’s why I needed to speak with you, confirm some of her activities. Unfortunately, our investigation has turned up a few, shall we say, details, which make me believe it’s more than just a missing person case.

Book Review: Morningsong

Written by Shelly Beach
Reviewed by Kathi Macias

There are few writers whose mastery of language captivates me in similar manner to a musical masterpiece or a poignant painting; Shelly Beach is one of those few. Her ability to paint pictures with her words and then make them sing captures the readers’ attention and carries them along enabling them to partner with her in the telling of the story.

Written by Marty Norman
Reviewed by Janet Thompson

As a savvy grammie to 10 grandchildren, I thoroughly enjoyed Generation G. There were so many “ah, ha” moments when I felt like I was sitting down with a cup of coffee comparing grandma experiences with Marty.
