Clapton: The Autobiography

Author

Eric Clapton

I found a pattern in my behavior that had been repeating itself for years, decades even. Bad choices were my specialty, and if something honest and decent came along, I would shun it or run the other way.”

With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring...

With Lee in Virginia

Author	G.A. Henty
ISBN	0486434567

Over the last few evening my family (ages 5-39) has listened to this excellent audio, which we concluded tonight.

However, after...

The Cuckoo Clock

Author	Ennis Graham
ISBN	1594625425

I didn't read this edition but a 1930 one with Walter Crane Illustrations (of which I would've liked more).

It was neither as preachy as much Victorian children's literature nor as exciting as the best. There were some obvious didactic efforts and some interesting or pretty scenes, but overall...

Families with nothing to hide don’t have so many secrets

Life can change in an instant. For Ryan and Karen Lane, it happens on the morning they discover their twelve-year-old daughter’s window open, their beloved Maddie missing from her bed.
