Mitten Strings for God: Reflections for Mothers in a Hurry

34 reviews
Katrina Kenison

Warner Books, 2002

A Beautiful, Thoughtful Book - Requires the right frame of mind to appreciate
As others have noted, this book is a series of reflections about motherhood and the importance of slowing down to savor daily life with loved ones. This book energized me to make several changes in my own life. Part of my motivation for homeschooling this year was a desire to have a more conscious, contemplative, and purposeful life rather than a frantic-mad-dashing here and there life. ...

Feeling the Pain
Rose, Chris. "One Dead in the Attic", CR Books, 2006. Feeling the Pain Amos Lassen I am very surprised that more books were not published about Hurricane Katrina given the literary heritage of New Orleans. There have been a few but there have not been many personal accounts. Chris Rose, a newspaper correspondent in New Orleans, put some of his newspaper columns together and gives a ...

Brilliant and thought-provoking
James Lee Burke is a master at descriptions be they of surroundings or feelings. This book is a collection of short stories with a range of situations that people can be faced with and told by a master craftsman in describing how those people felt.

Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming (Unabridged)

Probably the most significant addition to current issues in meteorology...
It was probably a coincidence that this book reached our library just as I started teaching an online meteorology class at a local university. Whether or not, I found it invaluable in directing the discussions for this class since global warming is the most significant current issue for this science, and all roads/students/newspapers etc. lead directly to the issue. For such a topic that is ...

Two Truths and a Lie

25 reviews
Katrina Kittle

Grand Central Publishing, 2002

Is it still a lie if you start to believe it?
"Dair was a habitual liar. Not pathological or anything, just...recreational." Thus begins this story about lies, deception, and what happens when the truth is sometimes less believable than the lies we tell. Let's face it we've all been guilty of telling "little white lies". Stories we enhance, niceties we introduce to spare someone's feelings, the occasional all out fib. Whether we like it ...

8 State Hurricane Kate: The Journey and Legacy of a Katrina Cattle Dog

Jenny Pavlovic

CreateSpace, 2008

Love it! A Hopeful Book
Jenny did what many of us wanted to do, but couldn't or didn't. I was delighted to read her whole story. It shed new light on the rescue of 8 State Hurricane Kate, the very fortunate cattle dog. It is an enlightening inside view of circumstances following the devastation. It is so true, we can't save all animals(or people), but we can help one at a time, and that is the right thing to do. I know ...

Code Blue: A Katrina Physician's Memoir

10 reviews
Richard E.; M.d. Deichmann

Rooftop Publishing, 2007

Excellent book!
We lived in New Orleans for nine years and during that time used several doctors at Memorial Hospital. Dr. Deichmann was our Internal Medicine physician. Later we moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and lost everything in Katrina, so we have a special interest and bond with those who experienced it. I remember Dr. Deichmann as a kind, quiet, professional physician and to picture him in these ...

Katrina's Wings

10 reviews
Patricia Hickman

WaterBrook Press, 2000

GROWING UP, SOUTHERN STYLE!
Katrina and her quirky family are captured in all their vividness with the author's abundant use of poetry and imagery. The writing sings throughout. The scenes evoke images from writings such as Housekeeping, by Marilynne Robinson, but with the hope and faith of the Christian worldview washed all over. This book could be read again and again for sheer literary enjoyment.

Not Left Behind: Rescuing the Pets of New Orleans

Best Friends Animal Society

Yorkville Press, 2006

Captures The Moment (and Piglet as the covergirl!)
Having worked at the sanctuary in Tylertown, MS where many of these animals were taken after the rescues documented in these extraordinary photographs, this book helps one vividly see what so many of these animals went through after the hurricane and before they arrived at our base camp. More can be said by these photos that captured how these beasts survived the days, weeks and sometimes months ...

I have now ordered 3 copies of this book and plan to order more as Christmas gifts. This book has more heart felt meaning than any book I have ever owned.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Other Invisible
An excellent book, full of useful advice and support.

The Bridge is Love: A Journey Through Grief to Joy After the Death of a Child

9 reviews
Cheron Joy Mayhall

Trafford Publishing, 2006

Transforming grief
Cheron Mayhall's book is moving, powerful, sweet, uplifting, magical, poignant, and of course, searingly sad. For those of us who have not experienced the death of a child, fear is painfully vivid when we hear about others' loss. It is hard to imagine surviving, psychologically. For those who have experienced this grief, I imagine Cheron's book as a wonderful, healing, transforming comfort. ...

Through Katrina's Eyes: Poems from an Animal Rescuer's Soul

Ed Kostro

Booklocker.com, 2005

Through Katrina's Eyes, a 'MUST HAVE' book!
Not only do I recommend "Through Katrina's Eyes" because of its powerful and compassionate message, but also because a portion of the proceeds from each book sold will be donated to animal shelters that are still housing many of these 'left behind' dogs and cats. The Katrina animals rescued by the volunteers had faced unimaginable tribulations, the courage and patience of both rescued ...

Pawprints of Katrina: Pets Saved and Lessons Learned

9 reviews
Cathy Scott

Howell Book House, 2008

Testament to life, hope, and love
This book probes the depths of misery and rises to the heights of joy. I often felt myself in the boats cruising the murky floodwaters looking for signs of life in New Orleans' deserted neighborhoods. The bugs and humidity were real. So was the satisfaction of spotting a desperate animal and the joy of pulling it to safety. And the bone-weariness of the long days and uncomfortable nights. ...

This book has a great variety of projects using many different techniques and media. Full color photographs and explanations for each project make them easy to duplicate. Also, there are many pictures of other projects done using similar techniques. As a homeschooling parent of elementary-age students, I found this book to be a great addition to our art curriculum.
