I would like to recommend a book I read recently, by an author I know well:
my sister, Dr. Elaine Billmire. Her book, OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN, is a terrific novel, a real
page-turner, set in a busy children's hospital, involving a possible case of child abuse. It
reads like a detective mystery, following the slow awakening of a young, naive but dedicated doctor
to the realities of such cases. Filled with wonderful characters and unexpected humor, the book
is set in the days before the world knew much about the sad truth of child abuse.
My sister has written things all her life, her twisted morality tales and and fake newspapers
made me laugh all through my childhood, but this is a professional work, taut and precise. I have lent
my copy to several friends and they have all responded with enthusiasm. I think you'll like it, too!
Just go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble. It's available there. I tried to post a link here but it didn't take.
Would you like to see gorgeous photos of Yellowstone and its wildlife?
My friend, Doug Dance, has created two beautiful coffee-table books featuring fantastic
photographs in his signature style. His first book,
"Once
Around The Sun - in Yellowstone" was created after he spent a full year in the Park.
His second, "Wild About Yellowstone"
is a co-production with well-known Yellowstone photographer Bob Weselmann. Both feature superb
and unusual photographs and helpful text.
In addition, another Loon friend of mine, Mac Nelson, has written a wonderful book about US 20 -
one of the oldest highways in America, which spans our country from East to West and just happens to go
through Yellowstone. You can learn more about his book right here
"20 West"
Any or all of these three would make a great gift for the folks on your list.
