Books I Love
The Piano Shop on the Left Bank - Discovering a Forgotten Passion in a Paris Atelier
by Thad Carhart - The author's tender account of his rediscovery of a childhood love for the piano while at the same time discovering the Paris that few newcomers understand or appreciate. It made my heart ache for my own lost childhood dreams.

The Hawk and the Dove - Trilogy by Penelope Wilcock
One of my most favorite books, so beautifully written that it is salve to my soul. The brothers of St. Alcuin choose life in a medieval monastery, imagining that they will be insulated from life's most sinful effects. They find instead that sin resides in people, not places, and that all must learn to overcome its challenges with humility, forgiveness, and God's transforming love.

Le Petit Prince ~ or ~ The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery
The first book I read in french. A children's story written for adults, an adult's story written for children, this lyrical tale shares the little prince's journey from planet to planet as he tries to understand the meaning of life, revealing truths we forgot we knew.
