'Stories Carved in Stone' is a Cauldron of Images !

Thanks to Ms. Clark's talent of 'reading' gravestones, one is enriched with a keen sense of the strength ...

The Hand-Carved Creche and Other Christmas Stories

James Kilgo

Hill Street Press, 2006

What a nice way to spend Christmas
I discovered Kilgo through his stunning novel, Daughter of My People. This is a little book, but it is rich--more insight and meaning and substance here that there is in most 300 page books. Kilgo can really turn a phrase. And while his telling of his childhood Christmas stories set in South Carolina is perfect, the only problem if that I was left wanting more.

In 1848, Holyoke, with its proposed configuration of dams, canals, and mills, became the ...

Kids Can Press, Ltd., 2001

I couldn't put it down!
I am a fan of Gillian Chan's short stories for young adults. I basically devoured her two short story collections, Glory Days, and Golden Girl, so when I saw that she had written a novel, I picked it up. From the very first page, I was swept into the story. My own beloved dog had died just a week before I read this novel, and so the character of Dog especially appealed to me. It is not easy to ...
