The Things We Keep by Sally Hepworth centers on three people. Anna, age 35, and Luke, age 41, are in an assisted living facility because they both suffer from early onset Alzheimer's. The third person is Eve who becomes a cook at the facility. She soon finds out that she needs to do more than that. This book is really good. It has a good storyline and I cared about the characters. Parts were very funny! I love all the books I've read by Sally Hepworth so far. (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"Stay" by Bobbie Pyron Inspires Children to Help Others
Stay by Bobbie Pyron is about a family that has to live in a homeless shelter and a woman who lives on the street with only her small dog to keep her company. It also shows how people can rally around for a good cause and help others who are going through hard times. I especially loved the parts where the dog tells the story. (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"The Soulmate" by Sally Hepworth
In The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth, Gabe and Pippa's house is near a cliff where people sometimes go to end their lives. Gabe has a way of talking people off that cliff. However, one day with Pippa watching, a woman and Gabe talk until the woman is falling off that cliff! To Pippa, it looks like Gabe pushed her, but she doesn't really believe it! Could he have?
Sally Hepworth is always good, but this book is fantastic! The characters are really good and I thought I knew how it would end, but I was wrong! LOVED THIS ONE! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"Doorway to the Bible" Book 1 in THE BOOK OF LIFE SET
I had this Book of Life set a very long time and never read any of them so this year I decided I would read through the set. I just finished reading Book 1--Doorway to the Bible which gives a very brief introduction to the Bible with some short Bible stories geared to children and some nice prayers for kids. There are also a few application stories included for children as well as color pictures. I look forward to continuing with this series to see what the rest of the books offer. (Karen's review, 4 stars)
