![]() ![]() ![]() She does everything for her daughter, even it means working at a grocery store. ![]() Kennedy is a strong, independent and resilient woman. I wanted to see how they fell in love and well, basically what happened. I don’t usually like flashbacks but with this book I couldn’t get enough of it. The book goes back in forth between the past and present, but it’s not in the typical way. I was enamored by their story because lets face it, it’s an epic love story. I felt like I was a part of that story and as I was reading I felt like everything around me, my bed, my pillows, heck even my kids disappeared and all I could focus on was Kennedy and Jonathan. The thing I loved so much about this book was the way it was written. It’s about mistakes, redemption and life too. There’s a Hollywood Hero, a single mother and an adorable little girl. Yes, this book is 100% about love and what people endure because of love. Ghosted is a second chance novel about love. I savored each and every word to the final one. Ghosted is a long book, but honestly I could have read hundreds of pages more of it. When I started the book I knew within the first page that I was going to devoured this novel like a popsicle on a hot summer day. Sometimes you read a book that is so good it just leaves you speechless. I keep on going back and deleting, adding and deleting again. I started writing my review about five times. 6 Superhero – Single Mama – Second Chances – AWESOME – Stars ![]() ![]() ![]() “If you had any doubt as to the food industry’s complicity in our obesity epidemic, it will evaporate when you read this book.”-The Washington Post Burrowing deep inside the big food manufacturers, he discovered how junk food is formulated to make us eat more of it and, he argues persuasively, actually to addict us.”-Michael Pollan “ Moss has written a Fast Food Nation for the processed food industry. ![]() ![]() WINNER OF THE JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION AWARD FOR WRITING AND LITERATURE.You will never look at a nutrition label the same way again.

Featuring examples from Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Frito-Lay, Nestlé, Oreos, Capri Sun, and many more, Moss’s explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, eye-opening research.

He died of a stroke in his island home in 1894 at age 44. In 1890, he settled in Samoa where, alarmed at increasing European and American influence in the South Sea islands, his writing turned away from romance and adventure fiction toward a darker realism. As a young man, he mixed in London literary circles, receiving encouragement from Andrew Lang, Edmund Gosse, Leslie Stephen and W. E. Henley, the last of whom may have provided the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island. He is best known for works such as Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped and A Child's Garden of Verses.īorn and educated in Edinburgh, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial trouble for much of his life, but continued to write prolifically and travel widely in defiance of his poor health.
