Ok, the book I am reading is probably going to be a hard one... I dont imagine anyone here has read it before - so it's probably a good Google-candidate


My book is an autobiography. I received it as a gift when we went on Joshua's Make-A-Wish trip in Florida, authored by the guy that founded the "Village" we stayed at.

The author was born in Germany, is a Holocaust survivor and today is a successful entrepreneur with a heart of gold.

What am I reading???

This is going to give it away...


The name of "The Village" is Give Kids the World.

The book is an autobiography of this founder.

The book I am reading is a collection of essays about daily life at Pine Ridge Reservation. I just love the way this man writes - lots of humor and honesty all rolled together.

(Not sure how many hints I should give?)

I know this book! Very well written, you feel like you're there and, you're right, very humorous!

I do have an idea but I am still bogged down in Ulysses, so if I should by chance, guess right, I would not have a new book for people to guess.

I guessed this one correctly: Gift of Life.

Now we're waiting for someone to do mine

Ok, I'll give it a try... even though I'm not reading a new book, I can describe one I've already read!

The book you're reading is

Keeping Heart on Pine Ridge by Vic Glover???

Ok, this might be an easy one.

It's the first book of a series.

After their father dies in a car accident, 4 children were locked away when their mother moves them back with her family. She meets a new man and doesnt want her new fiance to know about her children and keeps them hidden, and eventually begins to poison them. The youngest son, also a fraternal twin, dies of arsenic poisoning. When the oldest two children discover the poisoning they plan their escape.

What did I read?
