Best Sellers have arrived in our church library. Come by and select a “good read” from these books.
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, is the author’s first novel. Set in the marshes of a North Carolina coast lives a young girl named Kya. At the age of 6, she is abandoned by family and is on her own. It is an amazing story that captures your heart. Nature taught her how to survive and protected her when no one else would.
Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover is set in a completely different setting from Where The Crawdads Sing. Tara’s memoir describes her life in a remote mountainside in Idaho to her journey to Cambridge University. This is not an easy book to read. But, you will marvel at the way a young woman’s efforts to study her way out of a horrible childhood is achieved through books.
The Library Book by Susan Orlean was reviewed by Virginia Butler last month. Excellent Best Seller.
Heroes, Rascals, and the Law: Constitutional Encounters in Mississippi History by James L. Robertson I have chosen to use John Grisham’s comment on this book. (As you pick and choose to read events pertaining to Mississippi history you will understand there is nothing quite like Mississippi history as told by a judge, lawyer, scholar, and history buff!) “As a law student at Ole Miss, I was easily bored with the study of constitutional law. However, I did not have the benefit of studying under a gifted storyteller like Jimmy Robertson (he taught me federal procedure). This collection is a delightful romp through the highs and lows of Mississippi’s struggle to govern itself.” -John Grisham
