Books with Heart Challenge

This one is easy, maybe.

This week I, The Mom, was asked by a BFWP Reader for a book suggestion, 

"Any good ideas for heart books, books that give hope but also have a great story to escape into... something ala Secret Life of Bees (by Sue Monk Kidd) or The Help (by Kathryn Stockett)?"

Instead of pulling a books from my muddy memory 

I decided to ask you, 

Dear Readers, 

for a little help...

So please take this week's BFWP Reader inspired challenge: 

can you think of a heart book, 

a book that 

gives hope 

but also has 

a great story to escape into?

Please use the following format for your comment:

Title of the Book, Author, and your thoughts on the book.

Riddle? Haiku? A Clue?

These Haiku are just too good, we had to post them again:

jolynbarrett said...

White whale in my depths,

are you really salvation?

or my undoing...

John Daniels said...

Pray, who is the prey?

Ahab sees him in all seas;

He seizes Ahab!

We interrupt your Sunday afternoon w/ a Haiku Riddle from a Reader!

Dear readers, hope we didn't wake you from a nap this lovely Sunday afternoon --its perfect nap weather here.  The Dad is certain of the book title, the Mom pretty sure and the Big and Little Sister are flipping through a couple of possibilities at lunch today... What do you think?  Solve the Haiku riddle and learn one of jolynbarrett's favorite books:

jolynbarrett said...

White whale in my depths,

are you really salvation?

or my undoing...

I think I want you to guess the title of the book that prompted this response. It answers another challenge because it's also one of my favorites.
