Dairy Queen

By Catherine Murdock

I am SO glad this is a series, because I did not want this book to end! You will love the main character D.J. Schwenk for her humor and determination. Your heart will ache for her as she gives up practically everything in her life to take on the enormous responsibility of running the family farm. You will cheer her on as she trains Brian, the rival high school's quarterback and decides to try out for her own high school’s football team. This is a book I think a lot of young women can relate to. The main character struggles with who she really is and where she fits in and I believe that is a battle few women escape.

Three Little Words: A Memoir
By Ashley Rhodes-Courter

This was a very inspirational read. I experienced a roller coaster of emotions while reading this book, sadness, anger, pity, happiness, and triumph. This is the true story about a girl trapped and shuffled around in the foster care system for nine years. Between the agonizing memories of being taken her mother and the horrible experiences she goes through in some of her many foster homes, three little words is all it takes to change everything. You will have to read it to find out what they are… the “three little words” are not what you think!
