Book Shelf: The Girl With Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee

The Girl With Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee

Enlightening, emotional true story of a young girl’s escape from North Korea. The book reads like fiction, and covers the time just before she crossed the border at 17 years old, through the 12 years of struggle to reuniting with her family. It’s a heartbreaking story at times, but a topic I feel we must educate ourselves about.

Book Shelf: Rascal by Sterling North

Rascal by Sterling North

This was a beautiful and heartwarming story. Not a book I’d normally choose to read, but my son said I should read it. He’s in the habit of sharing his books with me, telling me that I would like it, or it just happens to be a story he would like for me to read. I very much enjoyed getting to know Sterling and his friend, Rascal. As I write this, I have just discovered that this is a memoir/autobiography of sorts. I assumed it was fiction! Now, I’m even happier I read this beautiful story. The perfect read for any person of any age, who wants to enjoy a great read about friendship and the freedom of childhood.
