Keep Reading!
I'm delighted to say that I'll be able to post again very soon. I'm researching the history of my small hometown, Needles, California at the Needles Regional Museum. I'm going to sneak in a few posts of teen books and maybe tidy things up a bit. Look for some postings of books with a multicultural theme. It just seems a nice thing to do now.
Bless,
Martha

Thura's Diary: My Life in Wartime Iraq by Thura Al-Windawi
Nineteen-year-old Thura al-Windawi kept a diary during the conflict in Iraq, saying that it was her way of controlling the chaos. The diary, which documents the days leading up to the bombings, the war itself, and the lawless aftermath, puts a personal face on life in Baghdad. As Thura describes her life and that of her two younger sisters, she shows readers the many small details that illuminate the reality of war for Iraqi families, and especially for Iraqi children.
