Karen,
Ace real estate agent Melanie Middleton lives in a brand new condo with ultra modern furniture. When she walks through the historic sections of Charleston she keeps her eyes straight ahead and away from the porches and windows of old buildings. She has the ability to see ghosts and if she can avoid looking at them she can ignore the silent pleas for help from the restless ones. But then she inherits an historic mansion and its secrets and she can't avoid the dead anymore. Two (living) men also come into her life with this inheritance with hidden motives. Even readers (like me) who are not usually romance or paranormal fiction readers will enjoy this mystery/romance/ghost story with its detailed descriptions of the city of Charleston.

After hearing about the upcoming release of Seal's CD "Soul II" I had to revisit his 2008 release, "Soul". Songs written by Otis Reading (I've been loving you too long), Ben E. King (Stand by me), Al Green (I'm still in love with you), and other R&B artists of the 60s and 70s make this a nostalgic listening experience, presented with emotion and passion few artists can convey. All of the songs are covers, but with producer David Foster, Seal has added his own touch to each song. If you like the "old school" classics, you will enjoy listening to this CD.
This gorgeous graphic novel tells the story of two child slaves as their relationship matures and changes over the course of many years together and apart. When Dodola is nine years old, a drought parches the land and her impoverished parents sell her into marriage. Three years later her husband is assaulted and she is taken by slavers. While waiting to be sold, a young baby whom nobody will claim begins crying and to prevent him from being killed by the slavers, Dodola claims Zam as her brother. They escape and spend many years together in the desert until they are again parted by slavers. Woven throughout the book are stories from the Qur’an and the Bible that Dodola tells Zam, often telling the same story from both a Muslim and Christian point of view. The book tells Dodola’s and Zam’s stories through scenes that move back and forth in time, illuminating the story in a way that wouldn’t have been possible if it had been told in a strictly linear fashion. This is a powerful novel that explores themes related to child slavery, love, belief, treatment of women, and abuse of our natural resources.Read a good book or trying to remember a book and are now looking for a type of plot?
