Tender Persuasion

Tender Persuasion is a brilliantly written book. The language is as good as the plot, and what a plot it is! Tender Persuasion is the TRUE story (names and locations have been changed) of a woman who was brutally raped. When I say brutal, I must emphasize that the scenes in which the heroine relives her rape will be difficult to read. If you are sqeamish or prudish, this book isn't for you. But don't be so quick to write it off. It is well worth the $10 investment. A horrible man raped Kaitlyn Emberland, and a wonderful man saved her. It took many years, but he taught her to trust, to love, and to make love without fear.

Movies
These are my picks for the month of September!
SIGNS, starring Mel Gibson and Joacquin (Wah-keen) Phoenix, was an eerie movie, but not because it was a horror movie. I don't like them. If you think this is a horror movie or a fantasy, and you've skipped it for that reason, you would be wrong. SIGNS has an element of fantasy, namely, aliens, but the message is not about alien invasion. The movie has a strongly spiritual element, some scenes that will make you jump, but overall a solid plot about one man's who learns an important life lesson. Rated PG-13.
MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING is probably the most hilarious movie I have ever seen! Clean and funny to the very end, this movie illustrates how we can view our family as "weird" or "strange" or "different", but in fact, we all have unusual families. This is also a marvelous love story. Do not skip seeing this movie! Rated PG! VetCop

Veterinarian Paul Conner lived a simple life until the day Detective George Christensen called with a very puzzling problem. He needed Paul's help--for what? To catch a mynah bird named Treasure and to solve a murder. To complicate matters, into Paul's life walks Dr. Veronica Mason, a researcher from M.I.T. She is beautiful, smart, witty, and she knows a heck of a lot more about mynah birds than Paul does. In fact, she trained Treasure to actually communicate with humans and her DNA altered offspring--if they can just find the stolen eggs--promise to be even more intelligent. A rollicking tale of suspense, love and intrigue, mingled with a delightful humor, VetCop takes the reader from the eastern coast of the U.S. to the untouched beauty of the New Frontier.
