The Boys in the Boat

Wow, just wow. Set aside what you're currently reading, get this book, a be prepared not to put it down until you're finished. It reads like a somewhat implausible movie script BUT, it's a true story that is fully infused with improbable but amazingly inspiring messages. These parables address a wide array of human values and the associated ethical dilemmas they can cause. Oh, As an aside, I do find it ironic that, on the day we celebrate motherhood, the lead character's stepmom, unlike nearly all other stepmoms, is the absolute embodiment of bad mothering.

I love this book!
