book review

Last week I had the opportunity to read Three Weeks With my Brother: A Memoir by Nicholas and Micah Sparks.  So far I've never read any of his works, even though I know he's not only very popular but also resides in NC. After reading his memoir, I plan to read his books, and if his memoir writing skills are as good as his novels, then they should be a treat indeed.

Parts of it are hysterically funny...so funny that I was laughing so hard I cried and had to hunt down Bobby to share it with him. Toward the end I hurt and cried as he shared the tragedies within his family, and I inwardly cheered him on as he honestly addressed areas in his brother's life. I won't give you the details, as that would ruin the book, but this is one if I owned it I would pass it on to my Mom to read and would seriously consider it a "keeper".
