READING RECOMMENDATIONS

This psychological domestic thriller will have you asking, “Who is the good sister?” Is it responsible Rose who has spent her life taking care of her fragile sensitive twin sister, protecting her from their narcissistic mother and events from their past? Or is it sweet, kind, and quirky Fern, who struggles to understand the people around her and would love nothing more than to give her sister the baby she so desperately wants.
Enter “Wally,” the IT genius, who seems to understand Fern in a way that no one, not even her sister, ever has. This engaging story unfolds in alternating narratives and journal entries that reveal insights into who really is the good sister.

Baseball fans and people who like inspirational stories, this is the book for you! Jim Abbott was born without a right hand. With the help of his parents, who never let this stop him from participating in most normal kid activities, including sports, Jim excelled at football and baseball. He eventually played for the University of Michigan, the gold-winning US Olympic Baseball Team, and the New York Yankees, among other teams. 
What a fantastic, moving story – and it’s all true, even the no-hitter.

The Bench originated as a poem for Prince Harry and expanded into a beautiful picture book. The story captures the special relationship between fathers and sons. Readers will love the illustrations and range of diverse families represented in the book.
