Little Women

by Louisa May Alcott

This book is excellent for young girls, or even for those that are just young at heart. This book is just a timeless classic-the characters could be from any time or any place. I would definitely recommend that you have your daughters read this beautiful book.

A Child's Christmas at St. Nickolas Circle

by Thomas Kinkade

While there isn't much to read in this book, it is a must have for Christmas, especially if you have young children. The pictures in the book are absolutely gorgeous, and are sure to get even the "grinchiest" into the Christmas spirit.

A Rumor of War

by Philip Caputo

Philip Caputo's book, A Rumor of War, is great for those who have already educated themselves on the Vietnam conflict and for those who are just beginning to learn about this important part of our history. Caputo tells the tells the story from his viewpoint, as the book his based on his time in Vietnam, and it discusses the transition from a civilian to green lieutenant to a member of the anti-war movement. It is a very moving story of how normal people can do extraordinary and sometimes terrible things. Things are not always black and white. War often brings out the best and worst in those involved.
