The Broken Girls


 

What a breathtaking ghost story!

What a fantastic storyline of 1960 Vermont and 2014 Vermont around the now defunct Idlewild Hall a girls' boarding school with stories of its own to tell. Simone St. James unfolds this story bits at at time ensuring anticipation and intrigue each step of the way. She combines past and current day timelines, female friendship, small town politics, a bit of a love story .. oh, and the ghost of Christmas past!

Becoming

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 What a wonderful experience to spend 18 hours of Michelle Obama sharing stories, advice, struggles and accomplishments hearing it in her voice. "An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former first lady of the United States In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era.
