New Book to read. . .

OK, now on to the next book. . . I guess since everyone I know keeps raving about the Twilight books, I got one and I have started to read it. I haven't gotten past the introduction yet since I only got it yesterday. We will see if I can read it quicker than the last book or if life's craziness will stop me from quick reading. Here I go........????

I have finally finished the Secret Life of Bees. . .

I loved this book. It was a great story and helped me to realize how I really feel about how discriminating against others because of race or poverty is such a horrible practice and there is still alot of it going on even though we have made a lot of progress since the 60's era. This story is mostly about the struggle of women and how they were treated, both colored and white, and I found myself understanding and feeling the turmoil that Lily experienced because of the tragic life she had and how she found herself in a terrible situation and the strength she developed to take care of herself and find the answers she needed.
I have a stronger realization that we can all grow and learn from others how to overcome the bad things that happen to us and that if we reach deep within ourselves we will be able to find the strength we need. And as women if we have faith in God's love for us, we will recognize our divine nature and see the path that we need to go down in order to find true happiness and peace for us and all who are a part of our life.
I am now anxious to see the movie that is coming out in October based on this book.
