a great story that comes alive with colorful characters. This was written 15 years ago, but issues of big corporations, big money, political operatives and judicial corruption are very current.

Our local public library was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. This week I found their current 1-room location in the arboretum next door, got a new replacement card, and found out they are finally in repair and restoration of original brick library. Yay! A true neighborhood library with computers, activities, movie night, etc. My project this week is online research of library ebooks and audible books. Did find these can be downloaded to my Kindle app. I still prefer real hardback books, but the library is always a cost saving alternative, especially for more newer titles.
