White Field, Black Sheep: A Lithuanian-American Life ReviewI tried to read this book slowly. I did not want it to end. I put off reading the last ten pages for a week or so. I was in denial, hoping I could hang on just a little longer, hoping I had more time with this book. A theme so perfect after I actually finished the book. A mutual feeling, this hanging on, I think, shared with the author.
I learned so much about Lithuanian culture, something I hadn't given much though to, but fell in love with while reading. This book is so sweet, dedicated to her mother, who Daiva paints a beautiful picture of. Although I am not Lithuanian, I thank you for writing this, documenting your heritage. This book seems very important to me.White Field, Black Sheep: A Lithuanian-American Life Overview

One More Time: The Best of Mike Royko ReviewMike Royko was the best American newspaper columnist ever. Like Johnny Carson did for late night television, Royko DEFINED what it means to be a columnist. Even if you do not reside in Chicago, your heart cannot help but be moved by the columns in which he tried to help the little people against whatever force (bureaucratic, criminal or otherwise) that was trying to trample them. Sometimes humorous, sometimes disdainful, but always full of life, a Royko column was always a treasure. His loss is much lamented and this book is a fitting tribute.One More Time: The Best of Mike Royko Overview

Orphan Girl: The Memoir of a Chicago Bag Lady ReviewI remember when Marie would come by the House on Wilson Ave (where Jesus People USA housed thier Missionaries). Often as Marie talked I wished she would go away, but at the same time I knew I wasn't really to busy to sit and litsen to a lonely lady who just wanted someone to talk to. She was a caring person, I remember when I was working the front desk one night, no visitors where allowed on the seniors floor (we had a seniors citizens program) after 8 p.m., but here she came in as she often did to visit, but today she wanted to take a bowl of soup up to one of the seniors that had a bad cold. Of course I had my orders and I explained to her the visiting hours, but she didn't like that answer - just then she seen the wife of one of the pastors "Oh Sister, Sister" she hollerd and explained what she wanted to do. Mrs. Williams said it was O. K. and as Marie grabed her basket and ran for the elevator, pulling her basket behind here, Mrs. Williams explained though Marie doesn't look it or didn't live there, she was one of us with free run of the house. She died a few months later. Now I know more about Marie's situation -- you will never look at the homeless the same once you get to know Marie.Orphan Girl: The Memoir of a Chicago Bag Lady Overview
