WRD: Best Summer Read 2006
Today is World Refugee Day. Journalists all ove the world have united to highlight refugee issues today. However, I want to highlight a book that I have selected for my girl scout troop parent committee to read to their daughter's this summer. This book is also on my list of great summer reads.
Drita, my Homegirl, by Jenny Lombard
"You got to start to let her go and let someone in..."
In short, the novel is about two fourth graders Drita and Maxie. Drita is a Kosovo refugee that immigrated to New York and is having trouble at her new elementary school. Maxie, an African-American "Chatty Kathy", who is also Drita's new classmate can't stay out of trouble. In lieu of another punishment Maxie has to do a school project on Drita and Kosovo. As Maxie begins to learn more about Drita's home country, they both begin to learn that they are similiar, both share a secret pain regarding their mothers and can lean on each other. The book is written well and in an authentic voice for both teenagers and their cultural differences. I think this is a great book for the scouts and mothers with daughters. (March, $15.99)

"Dee, I think you put too much power in man instead of going out on faith..." Rhonda, one of my ride-or-die chicks said to me on Saturday during our writer's group discussion about my problem of not pitching one of my previously written novels. According to them, I have a problem. I won't submit queries to agents or publishing houses. I won't even try. Let me tell you why. Click here to read more at TMA .
