I recently read two books that I enjoyed and would recommend. They are very different, but both very touching in their own way.
The first, "Against Medical Advice" is by James Patterson. (It is currently only available in hardcover.) It is the true story of one family's experience raising a son with Tourette's Syndrome. In many ways, it is a very sad story, but Cory Friedman's determination to overcome the obstacles he was forced to deal with every day makes for a very moving, and in many ways motivating, tale. If you think you're going through a tough time in your life, this story may just help put things in perspective!
The second, "The Wednesday Letters" is by Jason F. Wright. It is the story of a relationship between a man and his wife, as discovered by their children, in letters the husband wrote to his wife - every Wednesday. The revelation of family secrets gives the story a "who-dun-it" quality that will keep you guessing to the very end, but all in all, it is just a very sweet story. A good read while curled up next to a fire on one of the cold winter evenings that will be upon us soon.
