Covering all the struggles that American families are facing in this generation, 'New Family Values' imparts real hope for anyone who has ever had a passionate desire to make a real difference in a child's life. Single fathers are finding parenthood to be as fulfilling as the single mothers of the last decade. But they are discovering new and innovative ways to respond to the deep emotional needs of our children. In growing numbers, it is the families helping families to respond in unique and intimate ways to the individual needs of the children they share concern for ...THAT WILL remedy the outdated Child Protective Services of our past. This is a critical time for Family Services to wake up and REFORM.
As the demand far outpaces the availability for the limited services they have historically provided, millions of children remain in the system each day. Furthermore, the problematic response of the present day system to those children who have been severely neglected and abused has failed to truely protect children and help them recover.
Our families have evolved, our society has shifted, but our values have remained strong. Our focus is still very narrow on building the healthy kind of environments that our children so desperately need in order to grow and thrive. This book definately addresses and inspires ALL creative thinkers to respond to those needs!

His voice sounds forced. It gave me a sore throat just listening! Then again, maybe it's just me. But I started to get seriously anxious the longer I listened to him reading so I didn't finish the book. This one's going back!

They recently caught the Golden State Killer, (aka East Area Rapist or EAR) after 20+ years!!! Bravo to the author, who died before she got the book finished, and another cheer for her movie star husband, who never failed to support her talent.ed efforts! FIVE STARS!!! 👏

My husband and I took this Audible on vacation, a 1200 mile road trip with two dogs! The frequent stops and nightly pet friendly hotels, forced us to speculate who were the REAL good and bad characters in the story. The characters were very strong but you've got to pay attention and get to know them! I suggest not listening straight through without taking breaks to "steep the tea".

The author proves to be a very talented storyteller in this thrilling mystery with LOT of suspense! It’s difficult to tell exactly who did the murder. Just when you think they have it all figured out...again I found myself unsure of any one and searching again for the guilty or the guiltiest!!!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Perhaps this author could have written textbooks for college students who would then be required to read this entire book.

What was most disappointing about Erik Larson’s story?

I expected a thriller about a historical event and wasn’t thrilled with the rambling history of weather forecasting.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator was the only best part about this book.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I can always return it and choose another?!

My mind continually went this way and that. I couldn't tell if the good guys were bad, or if the bad guys were good until nearing the end! It was so intriguing and suspenseful that I had to focus almost exclusively on the story! My father in law lived in the Gaylord area, and for years I've been in and around the town, never having heard it! But I will never quite feel the same about the Michigan Justice System again. Sadly I think corruption is spreading as Lichen on a woodpile throughout every county in the State.

What did you like best about Gift of the Red Bird? What did you like least?

I gave it three stars because I enjoyed some parts of the story but there is a whole new age of "christianity" out now with no mention of Christ's work on the cross. The author seemed to be doing some new brand of psychotherapy on herself that she calls GOD.

Would you recommend Gift of the Red Bird to your friends? Why or why not?

no, I would not recommend this book to my Christian friends.

Any additional comments?

I hope Audible will let me trade this book in

What disappointed you about Girl with Glasses?

it was just so boring, like it was written for third graders, but I doubt I would have found it interesting back then even.

Has Girl with Glasses turned you off from other books in this genre?

what genre? maybe that's why I didn't like it. I usually listen to historical fiction but I got this for free

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Margie Lenhart?

Diane Sawyer can make ANYTHING sound amazing!

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

ummm...nope!

Any additional comments?

can i exchange it for another free book? Yesssss!
