This is one of those novels that makes you feel good. It’s about making you stop and enjoy the smaller things in life, it’s about noticing someone other than yourself and it’s about realizing that we’re really all the same, we just go about life differently. In this novel, Rachel is beginning to p...
I am amazed when I find a book that I wouldn't have picked up if not for a book challenge. I consider them gems because for me sometime I look at a book and think not for me. Then I try it and it shines so beautiful and to think I could have missed it. I loved every minute that I listen to Lynnie, H...
Great recommendation by a friend. I enjoyed that book and the glimpse into mental institutions within the USA. I warmed to Lynne, Homan and Martha quickly and this meant I was engaged in the story and cared about what happened to the characters. The story in the end was uplifting, even when there we...
I doubt very much that I would ever have chosen this book to read without some help from my fellow bookclub members, as true stories are not really my cup of tea.

I worked with developmentally d...

They were placed in the School for the Incurable and Feebleminded, an institution for those who don't have a place in the world because of their disabilities. Both Lynnie and Homan have escaped, and are looking for freedom. Unfortunately ...
The Story of Beautiful Girl is a stunning story on the power of love and courage. Told through multiple viewpoints, each character showcases the horror of humanity right alongside its beautiful and splendor. Lynnie and Homan, Kate and Martha each find a way to creep into a reader's soul, creating la...
This book was so well written, the story line was so sweet...the characters were lovable and sincere. I completely enjoyed this book, though I found it slow at times - it picked up the pace somewhere around the middle, and the ending just made my heart melt...
