The Angel's Song Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book will help all count their blessings and remember that family is most important, especially during the holidays. The author does a masterful job of helping the reader understand what it would be like for a child to go from unfortunate circumstances to a loving home. I recommend this book. I have enjoyed it, and my wife has enjoyed it every Christmas for the last six years.

The Long Winter: One Man's Journey Through the Darkness of Foster Care Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had the distinct pleasure of reading "The Long Winter," a moving memoir of an orphaned child's experience in the 1970's foster care system. I've always been shocked by the actions of others when they think no one will find out what they've done, and this memoir didn't fail to provide even more examples of the surprising acts of adults. Mr. Owen pens his most personal and painful childhood experiences in a sensitive way with which many who lived an unconventional early life will be able to easily identify. His direct writing style leaves no time for the reader to weep, as readers are pulling for the character to succeed from the opening page.
Definitely worth a read. The characters in Mr. Owen's story will sit with readers long after they've turned the last page of this unique memoir.

What Jamie Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Those complaining about a lack of action miss the boat--and it doesn't matter whether they're sixth graders or sixty year olds. The book is not driven by event, but by perception, and, just like "What Maisie Knew," whose title it echoes, the point is to show us how Jamie thinks and feels about a situation beyond his control and in some senses beyond his ability to make sense. No, it's not full of Harry Potter-ish magic (which I do like) or graphic violence, it asks its readers, in language young readers CAN understand, to value spending some time inside someone else's mind and emotions.
