Braving the Wilderness

Braving the Wilderness

Review Braving the Wilderness takes on the subject of belonging. I typically wouldn’t have picked up a book that to me, falls into the self-help category but I decided to give it a try as I work my way through Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club Selections. I really had to slog my way through the book […]

Review: Under The Banner Of Heaven

To better understand these motives Jon Krakauer, the author flip-flops between the heinous, unbelievable actions of 1984 and the creation of the Mormon religion and its prophet, Joseph Smith. Discovering the golden plates and the start of the religion was very interesting but the disturbing subject of polygamy and how Fundamentalists behave then and now […]
