I’ve been working on this post all morning and I still can’t explain it well enough (not in any more depth than the synopsis provides). Do I recommend it?

| December 18, 2010 | Posted by barb under Books, Family, Giveaways, Reviews |
I just started reading Resurrecting Anthony last night. I’m telling you—it was so hard to put down. By the time I went to bed I was starting on chapter 10, and I think I went through about 12 tissue. This book, in sum, is a very gripping ‘true’ story about Anthony, a child who, at… Keep Reading…
