Fishing Trip Weekend

Follow the Stars Home

Follow the Stars Home by Luanne Rice is a really good book. I picked it up at the flea market the other day and didn't realize that I had read this another time. But, I didn't remember what happened in the end so I read it again. It's about a mother who chooses the wrong brother to be with, gets pregnant and then finds out that the baby will be born with abnormalities. The brother that she chose could not handle the idea of having a child with problems and he takes off before the baby is born. The mother raises the child (who was born with significant problems) alone for 11 years with help from the brother she didn't choose who is the child's pediatrician. There is much more to the story than that, the mother takes in a 12 year old girl who is having problems at home and the brother who left is not totally out of the picture. Good book.

The Hollow

This is the second book in this Nora Roberts
trilogy, Sign of Seven. The first book was Blood Brothers.
In Hawkins Hollow the lull is over and the nightmare is about to begin...For seven days every seven years, madness descends on this small town. But three men bound by blood and three women bound by ancestry to a demon have pledged their souls-and their hearts -to stop it.
I have to say that this is not her best trilogy that I have read. It is good, and it kept my attention but it was not riveting.

Fun on the Fourth 2008

I don't think I have a career future in film making! I went to the beach the other day with my brother-in-law and is wife and kids. No, I didn't go in the water, it is still too cold for me.
