The Battle Belongs to the Lord

This book is the best one I found on this topic for very young and innocent children. My daughter scares very easily so I needed something that would not scare her but help her understand she needs to keep her privates covered. This helped but we still have occasions ...

Miranda July
Scribner, 2008
Funny, witty and, sometimes, depressing stories
This is one of the greatest short story collections I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I'd compare Miranda July to another great American Writer, Raymond Carver, but it would be unfair for both. Just keep in mind that Miranda July has suddenly become on of my top ...
