I believe that reading is both fun and fundamental to personal growth, so will offer occasional book reviews instead of the standard article. Many stepparents are in the back-to-school spirit, so I’m starting with a book for young readers especially suited for girls.

Book Review - True Friends
True Friends (a historical novel for young readers ages 9 and up) chronicles Annie’s transition from a carefree tomboy into a responsible young woman who learns what true friendship really is.

This Week’s Quote That Makes You Go Hmmm...
"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly."
— Thomas H. Huxley, scientist, educator
