NEW! More Memoirs

I'm excited to introduce two new featured memoirs and one published memoir from our Readers' Circle...

The Music Man
By: Karyn Stockwell

"He was born in a time when labels were given to children. The labels were words that remained with them for all of their lives. The words caused pain to the people that loved them, but they had no meaning for these children..."

This piece speaks of a loved one born with Down Syndrome and the amazing impact he had on his neice's life. Read how Uncle David surpassed the label given him in The Music Man.

Two Dreams
By: Karen Templin

"...He would put a red check mark next to our name in his big Book of Life. If we got enough check marks, He would send us to Hell. I often found myself counting up my sins and wondering if I had enough check marks to go to Hell yet..."

Having grown up Catholic, this woman had a knowledge of Jesus her whole life. However not until she reads a book on a Near Death Experience, does she see Jesus in a whole new light.

Read about it in Two Dreams.

The Glass Castle
By: Jeannette Walls

"...We were always doing the skedaddle, usually in the middle of the night. I sometimes heard Mom and Dad discussing the people who were after us. Dad called them henchmen, bloodsuckers, and the gestapo..."

This national best-seller sounds a bit like what life was like with my in-laws, according to my husband. I told him to get on the ball and get his story on paper...people eat this stuff up. Truth is better than fiction. That's why I love reading memoirs.

Enjoy The Glass Castle today.
