Great for beginners like me. I'm surprised at the number of negative reviews about this book. First, let me say that I was never a baker. I was terrified of it because nothing ever came out right. I cook a lot but never baked. I picked up Ms. Eckhardt's book because even though the cumulative ratings were low (3.5), I use another cookbook of hers ("The High-Protein Cookbook) that's just excellent. Boy, was I in luck! The ...             Halfway To Half Way4 reviews Suzann Ledbetter Mira, 2007 A visit to old friends you don't want to see end Opening up the newest Suzann Ledbetter novel set in Kinderhook County is like visiting an old friend and wondering why you haven't seen each other in so long.

For me when I came out, I thought the hard part was just that - telling family and friends and the world "I'm gay." For me the hardest part was coming out to myself. That was dealing with my own homophobia, fears and so forth. I came upon this book well after coming out to others. It helped me with my own ongoing inner journey of accepting and ...             Videotape Your Memoirs: The Perfect Way to Preserve Your Family's History1 review Suzanne Kita, Harriet Kinghorn Quill Driver Books, 2002 Readers will learn how to choose the proper equipment Videotape Your Memoirs: The Perfect Way To Preserve Your Family's History by authors and educators Suzanne Kita and Harriet Kinghorn is a useful and "user friendly" instructional guide and reference to recording the personal histories and autobiographies of family members for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations.

Most of us have bookshelves weighed down with all kinds of personal development and self help books-I do! Most of the ones for midlife tend to be around health and wealth issues....will we have enough of both? Often the answers are scarcity driven, not giving us much hope for a positive aging experience. This is the very best one I've read that gives us the GPS or road map to midlife and ...             Half the Way Home: A Memoir of Father and Son3 reviews Adam Hochschild Mariner Books, 2005 A must read if your parents kept their distance emotionally I read this book in 1988 for an autobiography class, and reread it about once a year.

Contact & Reunion Guidelines2 reviews Lynn-Claire Davis Gabrielle Books, 1995 A "must read" for those considering reunion! Having facilitated thousands of reunions, beginning with my own reunion with my birth mother in 1979, I cannot encourage those contemplating this journey strongly enough to read this book! It addresses so many of the issues inherent in this process, and the author's advice is sound and well thought through. Too often, people view reunion as the "end" of the quest, when in fact, it is only the ...             Half Way Home From Kinderlou: The Happy Childhood Memories of a Grandfather3 reviews James Edward Alexander AuthorHouse, 2008 A life I needed to know about I grew up a 'white boy' in Washington, DC. during the same years James Edward grew up in southern Georgia.

I thoroughly enjoyed this man's writings and ...             No Way Renee: The Second Half of My Notorious Life6 reviews Renee Richards Simon & Schuster, 2007 Honest and engrossing I grew up with the Renee Richards saga in the background and saw an article on this book in People magazine and decided to purchase it.

It was fascinating to read not ...             The Robert Half Way to Get Hired in Today's Job Market1 review Robert Half Bantam, 1983 An old book - but a real GEM! I picked up my book years ago. I read it cover to cover, and it revolutionized my thoughts and action plan for getting hired. It is well written, and packed with lean, mean and to the point advice. It is written from experience and is a very important work. Now, today it might be a little dated, but the writing style and the way it is laid out are timeless.
