Claiming the Doctor's Heart

Olivia Scott moved back to her hometown after she lost her job and her fiance. She runs back into her old crush Dr. Scott. He was married but his wife died and he has 2 beautiful twin girls. Olivia volunteers to babysit his girls for him. They are hesitant to start a relationship but something happens between they can't ignore. She also wants to start a new business. They end up falling in love.
       I really enjoyed reading this because it reminded me about the hope that I need to find to help find love again after my breakup. I was engaged to him and he left me for someone else. Plus he couldn't handle me and we were in different places. I know I will fall in love again but I am going through a very tough time right now because he was my first love and he hurt me a lot by getting with someone I knew he was having a relationship with while he was still with me. This book helped me see how to heal but I have a long way to go before I am willing to trust and open up to someone again.

The Diary of a Young Girl Ann Frank

This follows the journey of Ann Frank for a period of 3 yrs 1942-1943. It talked about her life prior to hiding in the Annex and in it too. I found it to be a hard read especially since I knew how the story ends. Ann was a very smart girl and had dreams just like a regular person. She and 7 other lucky people were lucky enough to hide away. It was interesting to see what they went through during the time in the war and how they were still able to stay connected to what was going on outside. I found it amusing how she had strong values about not being a traditional housewife when she got out of the annex. Even though Ann never lived to be an adult and live out her dreams I believe that this is a book everyone should read.
