    No Greater Sacrifice

    When archaeologist Renée d'Arcadia is summoned to France to take part in the reading of a will, she is plunged into a maelstrom of deceit and destruction to solve a 100-year-old mystery originating from a sinister church where nothing is as it seems. Renée joins forces with David Arturo, an ex-helicopter pilot with a troubled past, to interpret clues cleverly hidden in tombstones and classic works of literature to find artifacts scattered across Europe. Racing against time, Renée and David must overcome their inner demons to outmaneuver a network of evil bent on destroying them. What they find in each other just might provide answers to some of mankind's oldest myths.

    Please Stop Laughing at Me: One Woman's Inspirational True Story by Jodee Blanco was a good book, it was heart-breaking to read at some points. Jodee Blanco suffered merciless teasing and abuse from elementary through high school just because she dared to be something the popular crowd considered "uncool": she was herself, i.e., she was kind, caring, principled, and smart. In her memoir, Ms. Blanco points out a most painful truth, a truth she suffered on a daily basis--if you pick on someone and make his/her life miserable or if you goof up in your studies, you are "cool" to the popular crowd.
