Many German, Italian and some French recipes included in this memoir of a young woman raised in Germany and the United States

The story of Lale and the reality of what happened in front of our eyes is horrific, sad, and haunting. I found myself thinking about this book during the day and striking up conversations with my older family members to see what they remembered and how it affected them. The writing seemed a bit choppy to me and at times repetitive, but the story is so interesting that you can easily overlook those craft flaws.

An overview of what is known of this great painter’s life and works - 1400-1455 - magnificent frescoes with commentary’s in the cloister of San Marco. In 2003, I was fortunate to view some of his frescoes during a Lands of Dominic Pilgrimage. Fra Angelico was one of the greatest Renaissance painters. Greatly enjoyed this book.

Bethlehem Library Book Club ( a library program) met on 7/10/23 in the community room. The discussion was led by volunteer Rebecca Hathaway for this July meeting. Each person brought a book or books that they would recommend to others. I discussed Yellowface, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek (by Kim Michele Richardson), and Little Monsters (by Adrienne Brodeur). Individual participation was excellent and lively discussions ensued from the many books presented.

Loved this fun different quirky book , different love story and a family dynamic that is not the norm. Loved following the ring and its journey . Shows family can seem

I think this book is five stars because the author does an immaculate job of conveying the character's point of view. The book is little violent, and the author describes it in a great way. But the detail in this book gives an amazing visualization for the reader. Overall, It's a awesome book.

This memoir was a joy to read; one I would not have chosen on my own. Born into the poverty of a black family in Galveston,Texas , seventy years ago, Tina has lived a life rich in faith, family and wisdom rooted in her mother’s rich heritage and creativity . With only a high school education, Tina becomes a very successful business women in black women’s hairstyling, fashion design, and is a “bear Mother “ in assisting her two amazing daughters Beyonce’ and Solange in their singer songwriting careers. She is also an active philanthropist and is active in many non profit organizations including mentoring. Tina is an exceptional person who has accepted her triumphs and tragedies with integrity, perseverance and faith. She ends her memoir with the realization that “without self-love, there is no Matriarch “.

It is an amazing book and leaves you in a cliffhanger, you have to read the 2nd book to see if a person DIES or not!!
