    Yes, very helpful! Hmmm, that kind of puts a wrench in things. W/ your friend working for the school district, she'd be the expert in these areas. In which county do you live? My friend (and valedictorian of my high school) works at OR State in Corvalis. Since you've read the book, which parts do you think your friend feels are inappropriate for an 11 year old? It's set in 1927, right, no slavery then. Just pretty much segregation as the only offensive part? My son is a Christian and has been attending church since ~21" long. We may attend a high school production of To Kill A Mockingbird this weekend. Is it on that level? Not sure my son will attend, not because of the subject matter, he just hates plays. :-)

    Feel free to say more, if it'll help. My son is on page 25 so not too far along. He's seen the N word, which he didn't know about. He's also seen the word "negro", which he'd never seen/heard before and wants to know why there's a difference between the N word and "negro". So far, he likes it a lot. I'm curious about the mystery/suspense I've heard about and also about the Christian slant it has to it. Thanks for your help.

    Ann, Is River Rising appropriate for an 11 year old boy?

    It has been a while since I read it, but I remember just really not liking it. A lot of my friends raved about it, and maybe my expectations were too high, but to me it was a chore to finish it, but I do agree with you on the ending. I didn't see that one coming, either. I am reading Picoult's House Rules right now, and so far I am really liking it.l

    I won't say anything to spoil it, but would be interested in your reaction after you finish.

    Hi Ann! I see you are reading Loving Frank. I read it a while back and am curious what you think of it.

    Hi Ann, Yes, I think Peace Like a River is my FAVORITE book at this time. I truly enjoyed every page. :)

    Ann, just added a whole stack of books to my shelf. Been reading some contemporary stuff. My favorite for the moment is Veiled Freedom. I have a couple more to go and then I get to Edgar Sawtell

    Hi Ann,

    I checked out your site. Cool!

    I have been reading Roots for some time now, and I take a break in between. The book is awesome of course, and I have never been one to read more than one book at a time, but I find I have to with chucky books. So I take a break and read some mind candy!

    My daughter goes on Spring Break in 2 weeks, and I have my vacation from work then too, and we will be heading to the lake for some R & R and will probably get in some good reading time. Here in Texas, the weather is beautiful right now!

    Well, I am off to work. Have a good day.

    Hello Ann.

    Well, I finished this book last night, and honestly, at the end I felt like it was just thrown in there. It did not go with the story to me. Just didn't seen to fit.

    But I did love the book.

    I am a Tess Gerritson fan. When I think of her, I think of The Bone Garden. I really liked that book. But to think about it, there are not too many books I don't like!

    I am about to finish up The Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. Not my usual, but it is ok, never the less.
