This is My Home: The Challenges and Opportunities of Manufactured Housing Review

This is My Home: The Challenges and Opportunities of Manufactured Housing
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Manufactured housing is the fundamental housing safety net here in Western North Carolina, as it is in much of the rural south. Mobile home parks provide housing for more people here than public housing and Section 8 put together, yet they aren't even on the radar screen for most policy makers. This Is My Home helps to change that, sharing the human stories of people living in manufactured housing, and showing how it is an essential component of any comprehensive affordable housing plan. With both excellent photos and personal stories, it's also an engaging and attractive read.

Slow Dollar (Deborah Knott Mysteries) Review

Slow Dollar (Deborah Knott Mysteries)
Average Reviews:

I thought the last several books in the Deborah Knott series were pretty poor. Mechanical plots, dull characters, uninteresting and implausible mystery solutions. In one of them, I intuited the murdered from the beginning because s/he was given too much "air time" when s/he was introduced - a common giveaway for untalented mystery writers. I feared that Maron had run out of ideas and was just churning out books for the money.
Happily, "Slow Dollar" more than restores my faith. As is typical with Maron, the point is less the mystery than the characters. As others have indicated, the new characters in "Slow Dollar" are delightfully drawn and wonderfully real. They add more depth to the incredibly complex relationships within Deborah's family.
And I absolutely, positively LOVED the new relationship with Dwight. Yes, I consider myself to be on a first-name basis with these people; they are that real to me.
Thank you, Margaret Maron, from this grateful reader. You're back on track.
