An Unforgettable Story
I read this book years ago when I was in elementary school. Why? Because I was physically and emotionally abused by my mother, and I wanted to understand WHY people do this to their own children. I wanted to rationalize it, to figure it out. At that time, it was nice to know that there was someone else out there who experienced hurt and pain, and to know that someone named Torey was helping ...

An Amazing Journey By Crystal Buffington
I finished reading The Company She Keeps recently and I was completely touched. To turn each page and live the life through Georgia's eyes was an incredible journey for me. I am a survivor of domestic violence and to see her life played out in words was like reading my own trauma. It opened up some old wounds but also it helped me to heal the hurt by forgiving. I was awake for 3 nights reading ...

A punch in the stomach for any marketer
So many companies invest money in brand related activities to build irresistable brands but actually only few of them succeed in that. What do we really need to keep in mind to not fall into the "brand bubble"? Probably the best book about branding I have ever read! Completely up to date with current market situation. Strongly suggested to all the marketers that don't think that marketing is all ...

Read it
It's the kind of things we wish didn't happen but do and pretending it doesn't exist wont make it go away. Acctually the more we know about it and the more we speak about it the the more we can prevent it. Well written. Good book. Read it. Share it.

Riveting, Emotional, Articulate
This story reveals the pain of a mother's loss and the deep sorrow that continues throughout time. Not only does the reader begin to know Laci, but also the true evil of Scott Peterson. No love or humanity is evident in his actions or motivations. One wants to reach through reality and slap him out of his "walking mindlessness" with which he lived. The details of the story were not just ...

Essential reading; expands your worldview
I read this on Kindle...fascinating...horrifying...compelling...the best book I NEVER wanted to read. This was inspired writing by two outstanding journalists (husband and wife) who managed to get way beyond statistics and do-good platitudes to gather stories from women throughout the world, from all races and levels of society, who have been exploited, abused and tortured. Somehow their awful ...

Very useful book.
According to my husband, this is the one law school book he would keep if he could only keep one. I accidentally sold his copy so had to buy it back!

For me, the most healing book I have read.
What can I say in description of a book that has had more healing impact in my life than any I have read in a lifetime of 62 years? As a lifetime professional counselor, I have read and studied many books focused on the prospect of healing, but Robert Schwartz's Your Soul's Plan brought the events of my life more into focus than any I have read. I say this, not only as a healer, but also as a ...

A choice to not lose everything when you have lost everything
I remember being very small when the movie "Adam" came out.It was around this time in early grade school they started to fingerprint us I believe as a direct result of that case and Mr. Walsh's move to help protect children. I never forgot Adam's story. John Walsh is an amazing man with an amazingly hearwrenching story that no one on this earth should ever, ever have to experience. The book ...

Tears Won't Bring Her Back
I also cried and cried when I read this book. I mean, I cried for a long time, just sobbing and crying. I absolutely couldn't believe it!!! I really couldn't believe how a mother allowed her devilish "boyfriend" to kill this little angel! The mother allowed it, the guy slowly killed her! I just want to take this girl, hug her, and keep her away from all the horrific sins of this world ...

Laughter, Tears, and Honesty
Cathy Crimmins talks of the reality of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and shares the emotions as they are. An easy read with so much insight into the life of the victim and the victim's family from the moment of trauma onward. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll have a better understanding, and then you will start the process all over again. This is an absolute "must read" for anyone whose life has ...

An unorthodox approach to running a business
Ricardo Semler calls himself a maverick, but he's actually a visionary. Semler, now 49, was way ahead of the curve 25 years ago when he radically altered the structure and philosophy of his father's company, Semco. Long before most businesses acknowledged that employees were thinking, feeling human beings and not timecard-punching robots, Semler rebuilt the infrastructure at Semco, eliminating ...

If You're Looking for Creative Female Role models, start here
12 Secrets fills a big need for creatively-bent women to hear how other creative women become successful following their inspirations and fascinations. Because I didn't have a strong creative female role model who earned a living at her craft growing up, this book inspired me to push on with my creative endeavors with helpful 'challenges' to personally work through and understanding what creative ...

Fascinating look at a little-known society
I am one of the many who knew virtually nothing of North Korea but have been curious about it for years. Barbara Demick has written a powerful story about ordinary people living under an unbelievably harsh and repressive regime. The fact that none of the defectors had a political agenda lent credence to their stories for me. This book is difficult to read at times because of the primitive ...

An essential book for teachers doing centers
This book was given to me by our Principal. Many of us were feeling overwhelmed by center management. We were so busy making centers filled with little pieces that were getting lost, and trying to keep track of what everyone was doing, grading it, and making sure that they were getting the things they needed to be good readers was overwhelming. This book made the idea of centers easy to do ...

I would like to share with the readers my experience with this book "Signals". For quite some time, i have had unexplained psychic experiences (signals) with my loved ones that have passed on.

I even wrote to Joel, and we've become great ...

The Best Book I Have Ever Read In My Life
I am a voracious reader and have been all of my life. I have never read a better book, either fiction or non-fiction. I too was the abused child of a family full of secrets never disclosed. This book was full of staggering insight for me. I had read 'The Executioner's Song' in high school, and can still remember the controversy surrounding the execution of Gary Gilmore in 1975, while I was in ...
