Cape Cod, by William Martin


The book Cape Cod is a historical novel that follows the first settlers on the Mayflower. From Plymouth in 1620 until present time, it tells of the struggles, lives and history of 2 families throughout the generations.  How their lives are intertwined, almost always at odds, and the history and changes in the early years of America.  

The book has politics, romance, war and the trials of all families. It touches on slavery and conservation of our lands and their species.  It speaks of the true natives and how we treated them.
It held my attention on so many levels, that I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about our countries past as well as the entertainment of the story.

The  The #1 New York Times Bestseller  quote I just finished reading this book, and think there is something here that everyone can relate to from their years growing up.   It is so well written, and with such empathy, that it draws you in and holds you. "Christina Baker Kline’s Orphan Train is an unforgettable story of friendship and second chances that highlights a little-known but historically significant movement in America’s past—and it includes a special PS section for book clubs featuring insights, interviews, and more."

Our homes say alot about who we are.     At this time of year, we make changes to accommodate our holiday furnishings.  We might do something big, like repaint a room, or just add some accessories to freshen things up. Some of my favorite things are:  A nice cozy throw, to add warmth, texture, color A patterned rug, over the top of a sisal Plants and flowers to add a sense of life Good scented candles, subtle & seasonal Interesting chairs for extra seating Trays to organize remotes,  books & accessories
