5.  Gladys Knight and the Pips can still bring me to tears


Reads:

1.  "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" -- fascinating on many different levels

2.  "Saving Fish From Drowning" -- ditto

3.  "The Redemption of Love" -- theology, feminism, and economics, a feast for . . . well, me

4.  "Hunt Club" -- mystery writer John Lescroart, the best in the business

5.  "We Are Your Sisters" -- a history of African-American women in the U.S., an invaluable collection of bios, essays, and scholarship

"Patriarchy and its abuses, including the alienation of woman and man from each other, resulted from the material demands of life outside of the Creator's abundance,  a state God never intended human beings to experience in the first place ... Redemption means turning over the order of things in the fallen world."
-- Dr. Carrie Miles
