Melinda's review
of
Truth, Lies, and the Questions in Between:
"A great book that discusses the 70s (not common in YA lit), Watergate, the Vietnam War, and women's rights and the Equal Rights Amendment. Patty was one of the first female Congressional pages, and as she sees and learns more, her beliefs start to st"

Truth, Lies, and the Questions in Between:
"Very inspiring and educational book about Watergate and the Nixon administration. I love how the author was able to incorporate historical events into a drama to make it more relatable and digestible. I think this book is very fitting for the politic"

"I should start out by saying that I am not a big fan of historical fiction. However, I loved this book! I learned so much about the time period, Watergate, and the Women's Rights Movement happening at that time. I went in not knowing much about that "

“Poetry, plays, novels, music, they are the cry of the human spirit trying to understand itself and make sense of our world.”
― Annie, Between the States

“Simplicity provides the highest sophistication, the greatest elegance, after all.”
― Da Vinci's Tiger
― Da Vinci's Tiger
“As you go forward, then, remember this: most men are hunters and collectors. You must come to know the difference between those who do so out of true appreciation and affection, those who do it for sport, those who do it for prestige and to possess what others admire and desire, and those who do it desperate to use a woman as a shield. The fourth man is hiding something. The third man can be like a dog that teases others in it's kennel with the bone it will never share. That kind of man might tear his object of affection to shreds, without meaning to, just as a dog would a bone. The second man can amuse you with the game of the hunt, if you do not take him too seriously. and the first? Well, if you can find the first kind of man, you have found heaven.”

“That takes such active, intelligent creativity, analyzing the emotions a composer intends in those scratchy notes on a page, learning and perfecting the technique that gives you the skill to bring those skeletal notations to full-fleshed life in your performance. As far as I am concerned, Eliza, that is the greatest act of intelligence a human being is capable of. Music is air made rapturous, achieving the sublime, catching the harmony of the spheres for a fleeting moment so we can hear it. It is the closest we get to God. So, therefore, it is pure brilliance of the soul.”
