Here's another book I plan to lend to my brainy friend who wants to be a profiler! There is some interesting information which had me suspecting a certain diagnosis for Lizzie.

(Language: English)
As a mental health professional myself, I appreciated the content. It's a fascinating look into the thinking process of doctors as they work their way through the process of making a diagnosis. This book may save many lives if it educates patients on how to work with a diagnostician to identify their medical problems!

It was a lot cooler when I first read it at age sixteen. I was glad to finish it this time.

A Reader posted a review at 2009-05-24 10:45:29 for My Sense of Silence: Memoirs of a Childhood with Deafness.
(Language: English)
This book was written by a hearing CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), and details his very grim childhood with deaf parents who focused on survival, with no understanding of the emotional needs of a very defenseless little boy. Although he achieved academic success and worked hard to make a life in the hearing world and leaving the reality of his deaf parents behind, he eventually found himself needing to confront his personal demons and put the pain to rest. I would recommend the book to anyone who wanted to develop a deeper sensitivity to the experience of those who have deaf family members.

(Language: English)
I was skeptical about the way the interpreter and sign language issues would be integrated into the story line, but I was pleasantly surprised. The writer managed to tell the story in a very believable way.

(Language: English)
A completely escapist and pleasant glimpse into another way of life. The story is simple, and the text written as if it was being told by someone from Africa. Very enjoyable!

A Reader posted a review at 2009-03-10 11:13:59 for Ice Bound : A Doctor's Incredible Battle for Survival at the South Pole.
(Language: English)
Here is a woman's story, told about living the rugged pioneering life at the southernmost place on earth. While performing the work of sole physician at her station, she faced the personal life crisis of a breast cancer diagnosis. Though isolated physically from a rescue to better medical care, the author and her colleagues managed to treat her condition using supplies air-dropped to them in the middle of the bitterest cold on the planet. Here is just one more testimony of a human's ability to survive when facing extreme challenges.

(Language: English)
This was a fascinating, though saddening, report on the legal practices in Ada, Oklahoma, a serious indictment of the dangers of small-town justice. I truly hope this has changed. I could NOT put this book down!
