Unlike other books that have been written about the infamous Titanic that concentrate on the story of the voyage and the actual tragedy when it happened Shadow of the Titanic by Andrew Wilson focuses on the afterwards.  How did the survivors live their lives after the sinking of the Titanic and how did others and the world react?  A very interesting and worthwhile read - five stars.  

Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape by Jenna Hill is an interesting read about the author's life.  She was raised by Scientologists who gave up their dream home, careers, and life for the church.  Her uncle is the Head of the Scientology church so she reveals many of the deep dark secrets of this "religion." The neglect and abuse that these children endure is unbelievable.  Four stars.  Teddi Bradford
