This is a guest post I wrote for Carla Sarett’s inspiring blog: carlasarett.blogspot.com
This list includes some of my all-time favorite books.
There is another book I’d like to mention, one that is especially appropriate as a gift from mothers to daughters. Veterans Day reminded me of this illuminating and fascinating read.
