Sarah: How A Hockey Mom Turned The Political Establishment Upside Down by Kaylene Johnson

Sarah: How A Hockey Mom Turned The Political Establishment Upside Down by Kaylene Johnson

When we first heard about this book on our local news, that the little known publisher from out of Washington State, had run out the last 3000 copies, I knew I needed to have our Regional Library purchase this book. This book was rushed out in paperback last month just in time. This little book is a quick read, just a bit over 100 pages, but it has a lot to reveal about Sarah. Even though she's young, her politics are fresh, and she has come up through the grass roots to win the hearts of thousands in Alaska. She is full of tenacity, is honest to a fault, which is what we need to get this country back to where it was. She is for total reform, esp in ethics in government. This is a story of a down-to-earth woman with energy and idealism. If you want to know more about Governor Sarah Palin, read this little gem of a book. You'll be glad you did!!!!

In Joan's Defense: A 12 Judges Courtroom Drama by Ron Carter

In Joan's Defense: A 12 Judges Courtroom Drama by Ron Carter

In Ron Carter's stunning new 12 Judges Courtroom series, we see a murder from the start, the police investigation, evidence and trial like unto CSI, John Grisham and Law and Order. Joan and Les Carson have been married for 27 happily married years, when all of a sudden, Les starts getting irritable, forgetting things and people he knows, then gets violent with those closest to him, like Joan and his business partner. Joan winds up in her's and Les's best friend's law office, telling Ben she killed Les because of all the beatings she received from him. Ben takes on Joan's case, determined to hope for a hung jury. What insues makes for a stunning climax!!! If you love CSI, Law and Order and John
Grisham, you'll absolutely devour this novel!!!

The story of Joan Carson's murder trial is the first of the powerful new 12 Judges courtroom novels by Ron Carter. The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution guarantees that all accused of crimes have the right to a jury trial. Historical precedent, dating back to the judges of the 12 tribes of Israel as well as the 12 apostles, set the number of jurors at 12-the number most often used today. While the result is a man-made, less-than-perfect system, it's probably the best on earth. The 12 Judges novels draws on Ron Carter's study of the Constitution and his 30 years of legal experience to show real-life dramas played out in this heaven-inspired, but human system.

The Lost Pet Chronicles: Adventures of A K-9 Cop Turned Pet Detective

The Lost Pet Chronicles: Adventures of A K-9 Cop Turned Pet Detective by Kat Albrecht

My Outreach Librarian picked this book for me to read and I'm SO glad she did. I learned a lot about dogs and cat behavior when they go missing. Kat Albrecht, an ex-police Dispatcher, trains her pet Weimaraner, Rachel and her two bloodhounds, A.J. and Chase, to find lost dogs and cats. When Kat and her dogs get called to find a lost boa constrictor from a California Zoo, it causes chaos. In this book, we learn how these rescue dogs find lost pets, with some ending out with happy endings and some not too happy. When Kat supposedly finds the man of her dreams, she finds they don't agree on the care of her pets. It was nice to hear about the different ways a lost pet can be found. What I found very interesting was when one of Kat's dogs was able to find a certain cat out of several cats in one household. I was able to learn from this is that all cats have their own distinctive scent. At the end of this remarkable book, Kat gives a lot of good pointers on what to do when we lose a pet. There are a lot of resources to choose from. I highly recommend this book for all animal lovers and keep some Kleenex handy.

Promise Of Zion by Anita Stansfield

This final vol in the Barrington Family Saga is a very rich and powerful love story between Casey Harrison and Iris Barrington. Casey comes to the Barrington Homestead looking for work to get supplies for heading west with the Saints, as he's just had his life changed by the Book of Mormon. James Barrington feels strongly about Casey, but Iris feels differently. James has been told by Brigham Young to stay in Iowa City for another year to assist the Saints moving west, as Iowa City is the place for the Saints to get supplies. James and Eleanore have always left it to Heavenly Father as to when the time would be right to go to Salt Lake. Casey and Iris have problems with trust, esp with Iris not trusting men. They both have to come to terms with some deep buried anger in order to feel at peace. It takes two important life-changing moments while on the trail to bring both Casey and Iris to fully understand that it takes faith, obedience and forgiveness to find peace and happiness. I highly recommend this 4 volume series to everyone.

Chaos by Jeff Downs

Chaos by Jeff Downs

When I read the review on this suspense thriller last year, I knew I had to read it. When Jason Harrington received a cryptic greeting card in his mail slot at the junior high he teaches at, he tosses it in the garbage, but when he finds his apartment broken into and totally ransacked and an ominous phone call, he runs, attempting to stay one step ahead of this assassin. Along with his ex-girlfriend Kelly, they search the internet for clues, even so much as hiring a private investigator to find out who is after Jason. They can't go to the police, as they suspect him of being a cop killer. When they find out the assassin is involved with the Red Mafia, they fear for their life. They need to find the person who can help get him out of this mess before it's too late. I highly recommend this page-turner, as the excitement never stops until the last page.
