New Books

There are so many things that I want to write about: my mom, ghosts, my grandma, trail mix, the list does not end.

For now though, as I sit here stuffing my mouth with yogurt almonds, I only want to say that I am really excited about two new books I bought today. The first, "The Invisible Wall," is a memoir written by Harry Bernstein. It takes place during World War I and is "a love story that broke barriers" about a Jewish girl who falls in love with a Christian boy who lives on the other side of the invisible wall in their neighborhood. The second, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," by Betty Smith is one my mom recommended. It is a novel about "a young girl's coming of age at the turn of the century." I can't wait to start.
