I am a reader and book evangelist. For many years I have kept a reading journal with little descriptions of the books I read and dates I read them. Kind of a trail of book bread crumbs that chart my interests over a given course of time. This blog gives me a way to continue my journal and share my reading interests with others. My latest adventures in creating, dining, and traveling can be found at my website LindasOtherLife.com

Above the Thunder by Renee Manfredi
This book was on the New Fiction shelf at the Strongsville Library and I picked it up because it had a blurb on the back written by Scott Russell Sanders, author of the article "Ten Reasons Why We Need A Story". I read that the author, Renee Manfredi has been a regional winner of Granta's Best American Novelists Under 40, so I took a chance. The novel is about a woman named Anna whose only child has been gone for many years. Suddenly, Anna finds herself caring for her granddaugher Flynn and a cast of characters from an HIV patients support group. The book is a little dark, but the ending is sweet.
