My most memorable childhood Christmas experience was in 1970, it was the last year my grandmother was alive, I didn’t know why at the time but it was so special and I felt close to her in a way I can’t explain. She had twenty six grandchildren but she made us all feel we were favorites. Eight months later, she was gone.

in observance of World AIDS Day, today’s books deal with that topic. Two books are showcased, but you, the reader, can decide which book you would like to win. Just leave a note in the comment section.

Back in my day, hmmm like 30 years ago, it was an unexpected/unwanted pregnancy. Today, pregnancy out of wedlock is not as taboo as it once was for many. Life doesn’t have to stop because of an unplanned pregnancy.
