Frederique Vayssieres frederiquevayssieres — Oh, rape revenge fantasy. You still make me want to hide from you up in a tree.

Vanessa Wysmierski vanessawyz — The story is told by Beth, 15, who lives on a farm in B.C. during the second world war. This is a story about poverty, prejudice, ignorance, love, hate, feuds, shape-shifting, abuse, legends and more. There is so much going on in this story - too much? - I thought so. I thought the best thing about this book was the mother's scrapbook, it was full of recipes, remedies, pressed flowers, articles, notes and memories. It was her safe and private place, her life.

Erin Vaganos goldenquince — This account of David Brainerd's exploits among the American Indians in the 1740s does not belong on your light-reading list. The style is typical for the 18th century -- long sentences, longer paragraphs, familiar words which don't mean what you would expect... The content is even murkier. Jonathan Edwards warns in a preface that Brainerd is "prone to melancholy and dejection of spirit." This is quite an understatement. Brainerd begins his entries by recording the utter despondence he feels because he does not trust that he is truly "saved." To this reader, it appears that the author did, in fact, have a good understanding of God's grace. He perhaps had a hard time accepting the grace for himself. (If interested in my journal of this time in Brainerd's life, read my blog: http://mrsundquist.blogspot.com/2010/...) After having an experience in which Brainerd receives "assurance of salvation," Brainerd seems to spend the rest of his life oscillating between states of dejection and rapture. He continues to have periods of serious depression and feelings of worthlessness on regular bases. His spirituality when he is feeling "high" is very serious and outward focused. He often states that he longs for heaven not so that he can be in a better place, but so that he can better give glory to God. He seems to save little room in his diary for anything other than thoughts of a spiritual nature. Those who knew him stated he was a very spiritual person. The diary takes a long time in getting to any accounts with American Indians, focusing primarily on the author's inner spiritual life. But once it starts recording encounters with the American Indians it does not disappoint. Brainerd had many thoughts concerning the indigenous which would be very improper for today. He hardly references the natives without calling them "poor Indians" and other somewhat patronizing terms. He does not respect the American Indian culture, expressing thoughts to Europeanize them after they convert to Christianity. However, for his time Brainerd displays amazing tolerance and progressive thinking. His decision to live among the so-called "heathens" was unprecedented, and he gives an account of helping one tribe to save their land from unfair treaties. He also describes an account of a shaman whom he first fears, but later learns to respect as the shaman shares many of the same values as he. They follow the same God, but may worship him in different ways. (The account may be read at my blog here: http://mrsundquist.blogspot.com/2011/...) I am a little sorry to rate this book down. It is due to the book's old writing style, slow start, my distaste for Brainerd's constant depression and seriousness, and his disrespect of the Indians. I did enjoy interacting with the book very much, and there were certainly parts which will be quite memorable. But I would not be eager to read books very similar to this one, and so I must leave the rating at a 2 out of 5.

Elizabeth Piñeros totonpiner3b27 — Good, but at the same time it felt like just another Holocaust book

Daniel George eigengrau — I had this book recommended to me by a librarian who said if you like a good story read this. "Kitchen House" was very engrossing and based in the history of the South (Virginia) of the U.S during the times of slavery, in the 1890's, a very ugly time in our history. The book is narrated by two people, the first is Belle, the illegitimate daughter of the Captain, the owner of the plantation. She was conceived when the captain (a white man) had a relationship with one of his slaves, which you realize very quickly is a big theme in this book. The captain though, is a good man and wants a good life for Belle but regardless, she is kept in the Kitchen House with the other slaves and is treated like all the other "Negroes". The captain has married a white woman and she has bore him children though she is in the dark as to her husband's relationship to Belle and all the time, she suspects that Belle is the captain's whore so she and her eldest child, Marshall, treat her horribly. The other narrator, is Lavinia, who is a white girl from Ireland and was passenger on one of the Captain's ships and both her mother and father died on the passage from Ireland to the U.S. Her parents owed the captain a fare and so when they died, he took the daughter as an "indentured servant" back to his plantation. I did not know the prevalence of indentured servitude of white people (particularly those of Irish descent) during the time of slavery in the U.S.and I also didn't know how rampant promiscuity was between slave owners and their slaves. Of course, the slaves were viewed as the property of their white owners so they were forced into sexual servitude. Lavinia has an interesting relationship with the slaves who end up raising her for she sees herself as one of them and though they treat her with endless kindness, they never forget that she has white skin and that the future that is open to her can include freedom which they will never see in their lifetime.
