Can grief literally break a heart? Heartbreak:
A Personal and Scientific Journey by Florence Williams explores the effects
of grief on the human body on a cellular level where it appears loss can effect
physical health. The story is the author’s own personal experience of loss and
discovery. Full of scientific research and interesting information, our reader
gave this title 5 stars. KM
If life was hard for the average teenage girl
growing up with a single mother in the 1950s, imagine what it was like if that
single mother was a witch. My Evil Mother by Margaret Atwood is a
humorous coming of age novella that shows what that life would be like. Our
reader had only two word to express their feelings for this story…LOVED IT! This
novella is included in Atwood’s Old Babes in the Woods: Stories. MH
Not all of the books discussed in Nevermore get
positive reviews. Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient by Theresa
Brown is one such book. The author chronicles her journey from cancer nurse to
cancer patient. Our reader found the author to be self-absorbed and entitled,
giving the title 1 star. CD
