![]() Summertime is practically a character here- the feel of hot sun, the sights and smells of the natural world, all lyrically described and overall giving an idyllic feel of what childhood summer used to be, or perhaps never was but what we hoped it could have been. What child has not wanted to discover a lost place and create a special hidden retreat known only to herself and maybe a few friends?

This isn't a romance story but a story about falling apart and losing your best friend. But overall I think this is a book that everyone would be able to relate to and one that offers a lot of insight into the pain of friendship breakups, but also how to go forward from that, especially after losing a relationship as long lasting and strong as Layla and Cleo's. It's a very character driven story and the plot didn't really come in until the last third or so of the book so there was a point where I wanted the story to be tightened up a little bit. I do think that the middle of this dragged a bit. There was a cute romance added, but the real focus was the platonic relationship and the difficulties of loss. I enjoyed that the story alternated between then and now portions to give a fully rounded look at the story. Bullying was a prevalent topic and I felt like it was realistic, especially regarding the danger of rumour spreading. Friendships end for all sorts of reasons and it's a really hard loss and I think this book covered it tremendously well. You got to see a lot of development, growth, and healing from the main character. It offered just the right amount of reconciliation that I hoped for. I've said it pretty much every time I talk about wanting to read this book, but the loss of friendship is something so prevalent in all stages of life and it's a topic I wish was covered more. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() as special revelation), quite the reverse. as general revelation) would necessarily provide any of the vital details revealed in Christ and through the church (i.e. However, Aquinas did not hold that what could be demonstrated philosophically (i.e. On the other hand, he also rejected the idea that God's existence cannot be demonstrated: although it is impossible to give a so-called propter quid demonstration, going from the causes to the effects nevertheless the proposition God exists can be "demonstrated" from God's effects, which are more known to us, through a so-called quia demonstration.

He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. ![]() When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. ![]() Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. ![]() |
