A great romantic story about a father, his son, and their two friends exploring the western US on their motorcycles. Strong themes of modern vs classical thinking, reason, and logic. The story shifts from philosophical dialogue back to the gritty details of cross country travel on motorcycle, and all the trials one must endure on the trip.

This is the first Harlan Coben book I have read, but it won't be the last. Although, Win, the main character is overly full of himself, I truly enjoyed the twisty mystery which made it hard to put down. Looking forward to reading more mysteries by this author in the future.

The story was quite unusual and that was why it was compelling to read. It was the story of two children and their survival of living with a mother who had many demons. It was also the story of two men who grew up together but completely differently. The main character, a girl named Duchess, was a born fighter and fought her entire life to be recognized for who she is. I couldn't put this one down.

This is a wonderful and compelling nonfictional account in support of worker safety, and a snapshot of life in working class New Jersey (and Illinois) for women back in the early part of the 20th century. The author writes the story from the perspective of the workers, detailing the health struggles they encountered due to radiation poisoning, and the struggles they had with their former employer in being heard and fairly compensated.

This historical fiction novel is a compelling story about two fiery and strong female protagonists in search of the truth. In 1947, Eve Gardiner, a drunken bitter recluse and former WWI spy, meets Charlie St. Clair, a fresh-from-college, unmarried and recently pregnant socialite, who is searching for her dear lost cousin Rose. Charlie is desperate to learn what happened to Rose who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during WWII, and hunts down Eve for her help.  Initially, Eve has no interest in the young socialite's plea, but then Charlie mentions a name that Eve hasn't heard in over 30 years. Despite her the buttered and betrayal in her past, Eve is compelled to join Charlie's search for Rose. And so, Eve and Charlie undertake a mission for the truth, wherever that may lead them.
