I've been reading but have neglected to tell you all about what's on my bedside table. My book club read John Shors' Beneath the Marble Sky last year and everyone loved it, including me! So I looked up Shors and saw that he has written several books. I purchased Dragon House.
This book was great! It is about a woman whose father was in the Vietnam War and wanted to give back to the country. He was attempting to start a center for street children when he passes away. His daughter goes to finish the project. It is a story about doing something out of obligation and getting more than you put in. A fast read of struggle and triumph. Two thumbs up! John Shors has a new book coming out in September called The Wishing Trees.
Ooooh. Next summer when I am done with grad school I want to read the Shors book!
ReplyDeleteI may end up having to start a collection of Shors. I think I might like him that much!
