Here are just three of the good books I have read lately.

This book is historical fiction coupled with mystery. Love the author's writing style and the detail of her characters. I was immediately engrossed in their lives. Although I did appreciate the portion set in the Japanese Internment Camps during WWII better than the more current mystery set in 1978. I wanted to stay in the WWII storyline longer.

Garden of Stones by Sophie Littlefield

This is the amazing story of a mother who fought for her son when everyone else had given up. Since the diagnosis was autism Jacob was immediately labelled special needs by the school system and set up with the prescribed protocols that go with that diagnosis. The problem was they weren't helping and Jacob seemed to withdraw further into his own world. His mother refused to give up on her son and accept his limitations. The family has since started Jacob's Place, a youth sports program for children with autism.    https://www.facebook.com/My.Jacobs.Place

The Spark: A mother's story of nurturing genius by Kristine Barnett

This is one of my favorite authors. He has all the elements I like in a good read, sarcastic characters with a wry sense of humor, decent science (I allow an author liberties), a paranormal bent (this one is UFOs), and general mayhem that always keeps you guessing. I'll read anything this man writes.

Extinction Machine by Jonathan Maberry
