  "Wonderful!" by Lgriffies (see profile) 08/07/10

This was a wonderful book about the generosity of the human spirit shown in small but meaninful ways during very dark days for many Americans. The characters could be your neighbor, that nice lady you see at the grocery store, or the man at the coffe shop . . . would you be this generous?

 
  "Feel good, little known 9/11 backstory" by skinnyatlas (see profile) 10/13/16

Had the potential to be a fabulous book but the factual style got in the way of character development. Wonderful story of ingenuity and generosity in face of adversity
