The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien
O’Brien is drafted to go to war and he changes from an innocent adolescent to a war-hardened veteran. ~ Amy
To Be Sung Underwater by Tom McNeal
This story dealt with coming of age and the main crossroads that change a life. It made me think about love, loyalty and family, and wonder about different directions my life might have taken. ~ Barbara
The Ha-Ha by Dave King
This is a graceful, measured debut novel both sad and funny. The plot circles around a middle-aged Vietnam Vet, unable to speak, read or write due to head injuries suffered in the war. When Sylvia, the ex-high school girlfriend heads to rehab, she saddles him with Ryan, her taciturn 9 year-old son. ~ Joan
The Might Have Been by Joseph M. Schuster
An inside look at the minor leagues. So much hinges on performance and how to handle failure. Great character development. A fun read. ~ Nancy
Obedience by Will Lavender
A real page turner that kept me guessing! There were so many red herrings throughout the book. It really draws you in and you become a part of the game. ~ Hannah
