Silence
We sit in silence, you and I.
The pleasantries have been exchanged.
The dear, familiar stories shared with love and laughter.
The last moments examined for any kernel of meaning.
There is only one thing left to ask:
Why?
You have no answers.
I have no answers.
So we sit in silence,
Waiting for knowledge that does not come,
And grateful for the fleeting seconds of comfort
We are able to lend each other.

Ann Dee Ellis: This Is What I Did
Interesting young adult novel, well-written and suspenseful. It reads fast, so it's a great choice for reluctant readers. (****)
Hilary Mantel: Wolf Hall
An amazing tale of Tudor England. I would give this book more than five stars if I could. (*****)
Nancy Rae: A MATTER OF TIME
I REALLY wanted to like this book, but in the end it just didn't work for me. The main character remains a victim of fate from start to finish - I never had the sense that he was taking control of his own destiny. (**)
Ellen Datlow: A Wolf at the Door and Other Retold Fairy Tales (13 stories)
Although this book is geared towards kids, it offers some fun fairy tale retellings. (****)
Tom Smith: The Unique Grief of Suicide: Questions and Hope
A well-written, compassionate, thoughtful book for those who have survived the suicide of a loved one. (*****)
