Sense and Sensibility

Elinor and Marianne are the main characters in this book written by Jane Austen. Elinor is the eldest daughter of three. Marianne is the middle child. Their love lives fall apart when Elinor falls in love with an engaged man and Marianne falls in love with a man who gets married. Elinor tries to forget the man she loves and Marianne tries to but finds she can't. It all takes place in the past but all the scenes described are very realistic. This book is at a higher level. It was hard reading for me. I do recommend it to teenage girls and adults. This book is a good mother-daughter book.

One Tuesday Morning

One Tuesday Morning is written by Karen Kingsbury. It is the first in a sequence of books. This book is about two men Eric Michael and Jake Bryon. They both look alike but have no relation. Jake is married to Jamie with a daughter Syria while Eric is married to Laura with a daughter named Josh. Eric lives in California and works for a company and has no time for his wife and son.

Tuesday, September 11 comes and Eric is working with his boss when the first tower was hit. Then, his building was hit. Jake is called to the buildings. Eric heads down and Jake heads up. Afterward when surviving people search the mess they find who they think to be Jake Bryon. Eric is said to be missing in the rubble. Jake is suffering Amnesia and can't remember who he is. Is Jake really Jake? Everything in this book is very realistic and it was a very good book to read. I recommend this book to teens and adults. It was a great book!
