Paws for Connection ~ A Book Review

When you are away on holidays you really don't want to get bogged down in a heavy novel that requires your total attention.  So instead of going deep into a book, you get a book that you can put down easily and take up again without too much trouble.

Such is the book Paws for Connection!  

It's a sweet little read, that will certainly make anyone smile at the antics that are happening between the local bookstore owner and the driving force at the local animal shelter.

Jeanine Lauren has crafted a well told and sweet story.  Second chances and sweet romance fill this novel and will keep you smiling and enjoying a well written, easy to read book. 

Sarah and Simon are both single again parents to a daughter each.  Both are afraid to take that next step from friendship to something more.  Riley and Sally are best friends and the daughters of the aforementioned adults. Needless to say, the girls have a plan.

Then there is Lance (the bookshop owner) and Raven (operator of the Animal Shelter).  Who doesn't love it when two kindred spirits find each other?  It takes time and some lovely adopted kittens to bring all of these people together.  But it works and each of the couples manages to find a way to make things work.

This is a heart warming story that makes you smile at the antics that seem to be happening all around.

I'm sure this is a book that everyone will enjoy for some light hearted reading with a warmth that just makes you happy that you picked up this book.

Well done Jeanine Lauren!

De Facto Pathfinder ~ A Book Review

 Retired Army Veteran Cesare Giannetti has written an interesting book dealing with all kinds of reactions to military personnel who find themselves in difficult physical, emotional and mental places after serving for their country. De Facto Pathfinder is a book I know you will enjoy!

Chris Longo (our de facto Pathfinder) is himself a veteran of five years of service in the military.  Now a couple of decades later he finds himself in a dead-end dull state run agency that serves the veteran community.  He feels that he is not making any kind of difference in the lives of the veterans he is serving. Disillusioned,  he decides that he needs a new job and a new start!   He's really not sure of what or where this might lead, but, he has enough saved up to just coast for a little while.

Chris is still struggling after a couple of months when he gets a call from his previous employer with a job offer!  He's not interested in going back to doing what he was doing before as he never had a sense of accomplishment or satisfaction, so what could this new "job" be?

Well let's just say that the Department of Defense has a new program to help veterans that are in dire need of help.  He is offered the lead on a national pilot program that would have him travelling across the country to counsel these lost veterans and hopefully help them find their way back to a fulfilling life.

Each Veteran he meets has a great need for some intervention.  All of them are unique and yet all of them are in trouble making their lives make sense to themselves and their loved ones.

Chris is not a "doctor", "mental heath practitioner" or in any way a qualified psychologist, yet as he starts out on his new mission he finds that it's better for himself and those he's trying to help that he isn't a professional.  

I don't want to give to much of the book away, but must tell you that I found this book to be very interesting for both the people we meet and how Chris manages to find the "sweet spot" in each of them.  All together the stories of each life will keep you turning the pages and in the end I'm sure that you will come to some very interesting conclusions!  

This book is a real eye opener for everyone to read whether you are military or not!  There are life lessons be be learned that can help you too.

Put De Facto Pathfinder on your radar of books to read, I'm sure you won't regret it!
