Title: Bread and Roses Too!
Author: Paterson, Katherine
Genre: Historical Fiction
Rating: Loved it!
Review: Living in Massachusetts I have read previous non-fiction books on the Bread and Roses strike that took place in Lawrence, 1912. This was an excellent fictional account of two young children who face great hardships before and during the strike and then are both sent (along with many other children) to Vermont, for respite and care. This was a touching story and very informative. Highly recommend.   Get this book!

Title: Brother, I'm Dying
Author: Edwidge Danticat
Genre: Nonfiction
Rating: Loved it!
Review: Did you read Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder? Brother, I'm Dying is another powerful book about Haiti and a close Haitian family. Written with sincere emotion, this book will transport you to an unbelievable destination. Danticat's magic is to give you emotion without bathos, pain without self-pity, and courageously lead you through despairing situations. By the end you are pinching yourself because you are amazed to find that you are filled with hope. You will want to reread the book to figure out how she did it!   Get this book!
