TRIPLE EXPOSURE is not only a powerful romance but also a rich story about family dynamics and about the grief and forgiveness.

Kindle Edition: Freedom – A Novel by Jonathan Franzen

On September 9, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Wilfried F. Voss

Franzen, like Balzac and Dickens, is a journalist at heart — what he’s created in “Freedom” is this generation’s “Bonfire of the Vanities.”

Kindle Bestseller – Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp

On September 6, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Wilfried F. Voss

Caroline Knapp describes how the distorted world of her well-to-do parents pushed her toward anexoria and then alcoholism. Fittingly, it was literature that saved her: She found inspiration in Pete Hamill’s A Drinking Life and sobered up. Her tale is spiced with the characters she’s known along the way.

Kindle Bestseller – Let’s Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship by Gail Caldwell

On September 6, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, Biographies & Memoirs, Book Reviews, Nonfiction, by Wilfried F. Voss

“Let’s Take the Long Way Home” is a book that will work its way into your heart in ways few books ever will. I loved the warmth of Gail Caldwell’s writing style and how she expresses such honest feelings in lucid prose. This is one of the best books I’ve read this year!

Kindle Edition – Stern Men: A Novel by Elizabeth Gilbert

On September 6, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Wilfried F. Voss

The beauty of Gilbert’s book is that she gives us an isolated rural culture, and refuses to settle for finding humor in its backwardness. Instead she gives us a community of uneducated but razor-sharp wits, and produces an impressive comic debut.

Kindle Edition – Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough by Lori Gottlieb

On September 2, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Wilfried F. Voss

Gottlieb, 37, made the decision to become a single parent after years of searching for Mr. Right. Four years later, when she still hadn’t found him, she decided to take a good look at her dating habits—and the dating habits of women around her—to see if the problem is not a dearth of good men but rather women’s expectations of them. Gottlieb finds that women want it all—and often aren’t willing to compromise on their list of traits their ideal mate must have.

Kindle Edition – Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert

On September 2, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Wilfried F. Voss

Sure it garnered starred reviews, but who knew that Gilbert’s memoir about her quest for psychic healing, Eat, Pray, Love (2006), would become what she describes as a “megajumbo international best-seller”? Or that she would be in demand as a relationship guru? Or that her relationship with Felipe, the Brazilian businessman she fell in love with in Bali, would get so complicated? An Australian citizen, Felipe was living with Gilbert in the U.S. on a visa-to-visa basis until Homeland Security denied him reentry. As post-traumatic-divorce syndrome sufferers, they swore never to remarry, but marry they must if they want to be together in the States.

Kindle Edition – Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

On September 2, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, by Wilfried F. Voss

Eat, Pray, Love might not be that deep, wise voice representing the deep, wise journey into the deep, wise self. But this book’s packaging and tone, hell, its WORDS, never did say it was. It is a fumbling–almost child-like in its guilelessness–show of the ego’s awareness and needs, and its attempt at searching for what many people from all walks of life only wish they could go out and find: THEMSELVES. SELF, being the keyword here. And in this memoir, ultimately, God, being in each of our selves.

Like a dandelion in the wind, Hope Ladley blows from one farm to the next, helping cook for the field hands during the harvest.

But her sunny disposition and unstinting love make changes of a different kind around the place. His little daughter and the pregnant sister he’s shielding from an abusive husband adore Hope, and things are getting accomplished even if Hope’s methods are unique.
