    Police chief Cameron McDonald has lived in idyllic Wheelock, Massachusetts for most of his life, as has his beloved wife Allie. Their comfortable lives are thrown into tumult, however, when Cam's distant cousin Jamie arrives in town along with his wife's dead body. Jamie admits to the murder - a mercy killing to end the pain caused by a ravaging cancer. And now Cam is torn by his oath to uphold justice and his family obligations as chief of the Scottish McDonald clan.

    Would you try another book from Jodi Picoult and/or Alyssa Bresnahan?

    I've enjoyed many of Jodi Picoult's novels. However, I am not a fan of the romance genre. This story gets entirely too wrapped up in trysts and broken hearts, and muddies the rich atmosphere that I generally admire Picoult for creating.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Jodi Picoult? Why or why not?

    Yes - I generally enjoy her storytelling, I'll just read the reviews more carefully.


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    No - I'm not in to romances.

    Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told....

    Story

    Tina chooses to touch lightly on all they years of her life, but shines a light on the inner workings of comedy. Clearly she chose her stories to entertain us, but doesn't go in to the detail of a thorough autobiography. And, entertain us, she does. As a community theatre actress and comedienne, I found that her stories reflected the realities of performance. Both worlds still have a male bias, and it is persistence and placement (and usually appearance) that allow women to be successful.

    I laughed so, so much - and recommended this to my daughter, and my friends in theatre!
