Sculpting the Heart:While Conversing with the Masters by Joyce White

Sculpting the Heart’s: While Conversing with the Masters by Joyce White is a good book that shows us how paintings and Art can be poetry together. At times I felt like I could feel everything she felt and at times I felt lost trying to decipher what she was saying. My favorite one is called Crystalline Clear.

I think the people that love in-depth poetry would love to read such a personal book.

Sculpting the Heart: Surviving Depression with Art Therapy by Joyce White

Sculpting the Heart: Surviving Depression with Art Therapy by Joyce White is a book on how art therapy can heal people who have bouts of depression.

Ms. White explains how Art Therapy helps her to heal. She introduces us to the Art Therapy for the purposes of explaining what it can and will do for us. She does insert a few of her poems in there as well as the other art forms she uses to show us how it helps her.

I oftentimes feel that poetry is a good way to express depressional issues as I use it as well. A comparison between the poetry and the Art Therapy techniques helps the reader to understand the depression and what the Art Therapy can do.

Ms. White has accomplished the explanation of Art Therapy with moods and has done a fair job in explaining the events that Art Therapy will connect with. I feel that people with depression will benefit from reading this book.

The Guns of Mars by Martin T. Ingram

In The Guns of Mars by Martin T. Ingram, we have a story of one Morgan

Asher who follows his wife to colonize Mars. While there he learns that not everything is what it seems and realizes that he has to fight for his rights and his country's.

I had to admit that I just thought this was going to be a “normal” science fiction. I found it to be a deep book that should remind us all that we should not follow what the “government” wants when it takes away from our rights as American Citizens .

Humorous Incidents: Short Stories and Essays by Aaron Majewsk

Humorous Incidents: Short Stories and Essays by Aaron Majewski is a mediocre book that Mr. Majewski shows a bits and pieces of his life or what he wished his life was. At times some of the stories were cute, I was left feeling that it wasn't as funny as much as Mr. Majewski thought they would be. I think some of the stories were the kind you had to be there for it to be funny.

Green River Lullaby by Lori Titus

Green River Lullaby by Lori Titus is a collection of very vividly written short stories. Ms. Titus captures the essence of horror and brings the reader into the story with vivid description only to be let down with what felt like unfinished endings. Ms. Titus’ characters were believable and very likable. Although this book contains several short stories, it is a very fast read. This reviewer can see great potential in Ms. Titus’ career as a writer.

Tales of Addiction and Inspiration for Recovery by Dr. Barbara Sinor

In Tales of Addiction and Inspiration for Recovery ,Dr. Barbara Sinor writes of other stories, including her and her son’s. It is a well written and posed book that has you crying at other people’s courage in sharing their stories. It even helped me with my own mother's illness of alcoholism.


I am pleased at the detail this book has and I hope that it gets out to those of you who need it. It will give you courage to go through your own processes.

 Barbara Sinor and Deborah McCloskey are two therapists that work with addiction issues. Upon McCloskey’s death Barbara Sinor takes Deborah’s journal and expounds on it in this book of stories of addicts and their journeys through heroin addiction and their progress. Addiction, What’s Really Going On? holds back nothing to let you see the progress of a caseload of patients. This is a fantastic book that lets you into the stories of said addicts. Ms. Sinor is a therapist who happened to be friends with Ms. McCloskey . Ms. Sinor and Ms. McCloskey has given us a glimpse a very detailed journey of addicts and their addictions.



I think this book needs to be read by anyone who has a family member on Heroin as it will give a small insight into the world and see that there is hope for some of them. If for some reason you have a friend or family member with these issues THEN THIS IS THE ONE BOOK THAT IS A MUST READ for you. This is a very revealing story which will detail, to you, a journey through addiction and what happens in the progress made in Addiction, What’s Really Going On? This is the one!
