	Dance Without Steps Paul Bendix I was blown away by this book. Simple, everyday living by a local parapalegic, living in my own neighborhood. It is told with honesty, dignity and self deprecating humor. read more of Nancy's review

Underside of Joy - Kepler's Staff Review

What makes a woman a mother? Is it biology or an overwhelming love for her children? When young Ella Beene is suddenly widowed and left with two step-children, she resolves to make their lives the best she can. But when the biological mother enters the scene, things get complicated. She decides to live in truth for herself and the kids, and generations of secrets must come to light to make that happen. This is a book that runs the gamut of emotions; love , regret, jealousy, redemption and finally acceptance. I highly recommend it. - Nancy S.
