- An obvious great read: To the Rescue: biography of Thomas S Monson by Heidi S Swinton.
2. My recommended read (other than the biography above); The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton.
I could start reading it again today. Brilliantly crafted plot. The story is about a little girl who is left on a boat with the message to "Wait here, I will be right back." No one returns for her and the boat sails away. A family finds her and takes her in as their own daughter. The family tells her the truth as she is 18 and engaged. The father feels that she should know the truth. She then knows that she does not belong to them, but what is her name, where is she from, and who are her parents. What she and her granddaughter then go on to discover is worth the 500 pages of reading. Thank you to Andrea for this incredible suggestion.
3. If you have extra time in your life: Before My Heart Stops by Paul Cardall
I am thrilled that you know he gets the heart transplant before you begin reading because that makes the story more readable. It is awful to be waiting with him as he becomes sicker and is hospitalized. It is written in journal form taken from the original posts on his blog. I really like his music and am thrilled with this true miracle story.
My please don't read choice of the month: Promise Me by Richard Paul Evans.
Um, I am trying to think of what words to describe this book...none are revealing themselves to me except "wacky." Lady down on her luck, cheating husband dies from cancer, daughter has celiac, mysterious guy from future comes along, reverse back to now and happy ending. The only problem is I was so unhappy for so many pages that I must say "Please don't read this."
There you have it. Pick up To the Rescue or The Forgotten Garden. Happy Reading!
