I am reading a special book right now, a memoir about the relationship between an eagle named Freedom and the volunteer who helps to rehabilitate her. The bond formed became a journey of healing for both of them. The book is: An Eagle Named Freedom, My True Story of a Remarkable Friendship, by Jeff Guidry

Disclosure: I received this book as an Early Reviewer choice from Library Thing.

"She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back(I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long. That was a magic moment.(page 5)"

My teaser this week comes from A Fierce Radiance, by Lauren Belfer.

"Once again he reassured himself: the experimental subject would have died anyway, would have been dead by now, if they hadn't tried the medication. This was the justification that he clung to as he read about the destriction of the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor, and about the dozens of United States aircraft lined up wing to wing at Luzon in the Phillipines, destroyed in a single raid."

(page 66)

Disclosure: Thanks to Harper Collins for this review copy. :)
Watch for my forthcoming review.

"Anne had stood by me in my hour of deepest humiliation when, twenty-two years ago, the Constable pilloried me for adultery. Pregnant with Kit, the pedlar's bastard, I shrank inside myself, my head and hands locked into the stocks, my face blackened from the sheep dung the crowd lobbed at me."page 40.

"I have a friend who likes to warn me after I return from a trip that I'd better not become one of those people who start reminding everyone else that for the cost of that cup of Starbucks, they could feed a village for three years. But part of me did struggle with this after returning home from that first trip to Vietnam." (85)

"Daddy Hoyt said the old man was crazy, due to the metal plate in his head, which was put there by World War I army medics after the top of his skull was shot off by a German soldier. Daddy Hoyt said the moonshiner claimed to communicate with Jesus through that metal plate, but that he was kind and fair and would give us a good price for the whiskey, if he charged us at all."

"Come up here you deceitful hag!" she thundered down the stairs. "When did I ever ask you to buy a grilled flounder stuffed with roe.?" she attacked as soon as Patina hobbled into the sitting room."We are a simple family-our stomachs turn at the mention of such a dish!" pg.201
