Tea and murder.......2007-08-26
The Indigo Tea Shop located in the historic district of Charleston, South Carolina was a dream come true for its owner Theodosia Browning. Theodosia gave up a high-stress life as an advertising executive and never looked back. But her advertising background has helped her to make the Indigo Tea Shop a special place for the locals as well as for tourists. When Hughes Barron is found dead sitting at a table in the garden after drinking tea supplied and served by Theodosia's staff during the Lamplighter Tour, Theodosia realizes that she has to find the murderer before the police lock up Bethany Shepherd, a temporary worker, for the crime.
The book is filled with tea lore and lavish descriptions of Charleston and its surrounding environment along with lots of historical asides. The characters are fairly well drawn though Bethany and Haley's tears were getting on my nerves by the end of the book. The mystery at the center of the book is almost an aside to presenting the tea shop and local characters that will be featured in the rest of the series. However, the murder mystery is well plotted and planned and once you finish the book you can pick up on earlier clues to the murderer even though it is unexpected.
a lovely start to a new series.......2007-08-15
It took awhile to get into this delightful book, but once I read a few chapters I was hooked. A well plotted mystery with more than a few red herrings. I look forward to reading the next title in the Tea Shop Mysteries series.
good but not great.......2007-08-05
I liked the book well enough, but the setting and the characters came a little short of the mark to get any higher praise. The author didn't convince me that the teashop was a real place, it was more a pretty stage set. I didn't learn very much about tea either other than names of different types, which is a total let-down. I got the feeling the author is a little too in love with Theodosia Browning. Passages and passages about her goodness, her attractiveness, her intelligence, her lovely home, her pretty wardrobe. Bah, give her real a flaw or two (rather than the flaw of being so perfect!) and I'd like her better. The writing was passable, the mystery well plotted if not particularly convincing, but I would have liked the motive of the killer to have been believably developed. I also felt as though Theodosia's motive for involving herself in the situation was weak, the author wants you to accept that the young woman Bethany is at some kind of risk of being suspected of the murder, but doesn't supply any real motive to make it a believable suspicion, apparently it is just because cops are dumb and lazy. The back of the book blurb says Theodosia is a "prime suspect" but that isn't developed or supported either! The author makes the most of the "business is bad because there is gossip" which is unconvincing. I'll probably try the next in the series but it won't be at the top of my list.
Fun read.......2007-06-08
This is the first in the series and I really enjoyed it. It is a light read with good characters and lots of interesting information about tea. If you are a tea lover this is a good book for you.
Cozy mysteries at their best!.......2007-05-16
I have backtracked a bit, having read some of the newest books first. This book was a real hit with me. I just love all the tea talk and just the general conversation and mystery as well. She makes you really want to investigate right along with Theo because she leaves it open for several different characters.
Always surprised at the endings though! Thanks for another great cozy mystery Ms Childs!

Nice but . . ........2005-04-08
Death By Darjeeling was a good book but not a terribly rewarding mystery. I really liked the characters and the charming Southern locale. Dorothea is an interesting detective, in that she is a tea shop owner in a tightknit community. Childs writes very well about the relationships of her characters and her dialogue has the ring of real conversation. The only flaw (and this is a major one given that it is a mystery) is that the mystery was WAY too easy to solve. I won't give it away but I will say I was not impressed. Yet, b/c everything else worked so well, I will invest in another book in the series because the book made me cozy and comfy while sipping on my very own cup of tea.

Book Description
This acclaimed historical novel is based on two actual incidents: In 1829 in Kentucky, a pregnant black woman helped lead an uprising of a group of slaves headed to the market for sale. She was sentenced to death, but her hanging was delayed until after the birth of her baby. In North Carolina in 1830, a white woman living on an isolated farm was reported to have given sanctuary to runaway slaves. In Dessa Rose, the author asks the question: "What if these two women met?"
From there the story unfolds: two strong women, one black, one white, form a forbidden and ambivalent alliance; a bold scheme is hatched to win freedom; trust is slowly extended and cautiously accepted as the two women unite and discover greater strength together than alone. United by fate but divided by prejudice, these two women are locked in a thrilling battle for freedom, sisterhood, friendship, and love.

great story.......2007-03-22
I got this book after I saw the musical. I wasn't disappointed. Great story, gripping tale.
A nice surprise .......2006-04-20
I purchased Dessa Rose as resource for my Thesis work. I was told that it was a fictional account of a meeting between a real slave woman and white abolitionist. It was one of many resources, but it was the most surprising. I did not know what to expect. In the end, I was pleased. I recommended that the book be added to the syllabi for our Black Women Writer's Course next Fall.
So bad it deserves less than 1 star.......2002-10-25
This book is mistitled, it should be Days of Our Slaves because Dessa and the slave have no choice but to give into their istresses sexual and emotional demands. An inequality of power through one human being actually being the possession of another cannot broker to a "love story". Though touched on as an issue. Thsi book decides to take the cheating/easy way out and equate this power imbalance to "love". Deplorable. I studied/worked on this book in a high level college class that related Slave Narratives and Sadomasochism. This book does play around that area, as does the Black Book by Mapplethorpe and Langston Hughes travel books. THe Slaves Narratives/Incidents in teh Life of a Slave Girl is a stronger book though I have issues with that as well.
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the strength fo the writing AS writing. However I have studied and taught African American literature so I have a keen understanding as to the problems, one of which is that if it is African American pablum is tllerable within the genre now. The freedom of mass publication and right to produce literature has been reduced to normalized American pablum. Therefore this kind of literature has availed itself to the destructive consequences, which is thorough criticism and dissection.
Heartfelt look into slave life.............2000-10-18
I recently picked up an old copy of Dessa Rose and began to read. Although I found it slow in the very beginning, it became one of the few books I can truely say I couldn't put down. Anyone that is interested in slavery should read this book. It is an eye opener for sure.
A memorable view of slavery.......1999-05-08
Williams has taken us into the mind and soul of a slave and recreated Dessa's experience with a searing feeling of authenticity. This is a notable piece of fiction; it should be part of history courses studying slavery.

ERB's novellas for the end of his Barsoom (Mars) series.......2005-05-27
"Llana of Gathol" and "John Carter of Mars" are the last two volumes in the Barsoom (Mars) series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. They are not novels, but rather a collection of novellas. "Llana of Gathol" consists of four novellas that ERB wrote for "Amazing Stories" in 1941. Consequently, it has more of the feel of a sequel than most of the Martian books. Plus, there is a healthy suspicion that Burroughs was having a bit of fun with the formula he had made so successful in his pulp fiction yarns set on Barsoom, so there is a sense that these are parodies rather than true adventures. Llana is John Carter's granddaughter and the daughter of Gahan of Gathol and Tara of Helium and she is the requisite damsel in distress.
"The Ancient Dead" (originally published as "The City of Mummies") begins with John Carter out for a ride in his flier, saving a white man with yellow hair from a horde of green men, and ending up the prisoner of Ho Ran Kim, the Jeddak of Horz. Pan Dan Chee, the man Carter rescues, becomes his friend and while playing jetan with Carter's personal set, Pan Dee Chee falls in love with the piece fashioned to look like Llana. You have to admit this is a funny idea, and you have to laugh at the twist ERB comes up with for the "hero must fight for princess" bit that is a staple of his adventures once Llana literally pops up in the story.
"The Black Pirates of Barsoom" picks up where the previous story left off, with our trio walking back to Helium, and is basically one of those stories when John Carter and his group are enslaved and his fighting prowess gets him sent to the arena. There is an imaginative machine that helps keep the slaves in line, but overall there is nothing here that we have not seen before in this series. Meanwhile, Llana continues to act like a brat and put Pan Dan Chee through the wringer in clearly tongue-in-cheek fashion.
"Escape on Mars" (originally published as "Yellow Men of Mars") finds the gang in the vicinity of Gathol, which is being attacked by Hin Abtol, the self-proclaimed Jeddak of Jeddaks of the North. This is the story where Llana has to be rescued (come on, you know it was coming) and finds John Carter being rather glib when it comes to the "to be continued" climax.
"Invisible Men of Mars" has Carter trying to deal with Llana's romantic problems and the fact that he needs to have the fleet of Helium teach Hin Abtol a lesson about trying to conquer the world. He also has to deal with Rojas, a girl he picks up on the way and who keeps throwing herself at him in a way that makes La of Opar look like a nun (keep in mind, John Carter is a grandfather at this point). The big climax is standard ERB fare except the author is clearly having too much fun.
"John Carter and the Giant of Mars" is the first of the two novellas from the second book, and first appeared in the January 1941 issue of "Amazing Stories." The story was written by Burroughs and his youngest son John Coleman Burroughs and was originally intended for a Whitman Big Little Book, which meant the story had to be 15,000 words long and have facing pages illustrating the action. The younger Burroughs was also the illustrator. At some point 6,000 words were added to the story and it was published in "Amazing," with no one ever knowing for sure how much ERB actually wrote of this story, which was the final complete John Carter tale. As you would expect when ERB was writing for children, he goes back to his standard formula. John Carter and Dejah Thoris are having a nice ride of a thoat when they are attacked and his beloved princess is once again captured. Carter is off to the rescue with help from his old friend Tars Tarkas. Along the way they encounter Joog, a 130-foot tall giant, and a city of rats; just the sort of fantastic characters kids would be looking for in a story. Beyond sticking to the standard Burroughs formula, there is not much here of interest.
"Skeleton Men of Jupiter" was originally published in "Amazing Stories," and was intended to be the first of a four-part story, but ERB died before it could be completed. Since then it has been, by several pastiche writers. John Carter is called away from his beloved princess Dejah Thoris to meet with Tardox Mors in the Hall of Jeddaks, when he is captured by men that look like human skeletons speaking a strange language. It turns out the Morgors are from Sasoom, the Barsoomian name for Jupiter, which is where our hero ends up. ERB has to play fast and loose with science, arguing that Jupiter rotates fast enough that Carter is not crushed by the gravity. Still, he has lost the advantage he had on Barsoom with its lower-than-Earth gravity. Anyway, it would not be a Burroughs Martian novel if the hero did not have to rescue his beloved, and it turns out Dejah Thoris has been captured as well. Consequently, Carter has to escape and tracked down his princess. Slightly better than "The Giant of Mars," the story is hurt by the lack of an ending. Fans will read these stories out of a sense of completeness, but clearly ERB's Barsoom series went out with a whimper.

writes very good
I read them every year
I get so involved the time pass bye

READ THIS ONE FOR THE FUN OF IT.......2004-10-03
"Damsel in distress," "he done her wrong," etc. Burroughs' does a wonderful job of poking a bit of fun at himself here, and in doing so, gives us a wonder lesson in this particular genre. This is a fun read. It should not be taken seriously, read it and enjoy it. I read this entire series well over fifty years ago and am still fastinated with them. Highly recommend.
John Carter has a series of tongue-in-cheek adventrues.......2003-08-29
"Llana of Gathol" is the oddest book in the Edgar Rice Burroughs Martian series for a couple of reasons. First, it is not a novel per se, but a collection of four novellas that ERB wrote for "Amazing Stories" in 1941. Consequently, it has more of the feel of a sequel than most of the Martian books. Second, there is a healthy suspicion that Burroughs was having a bit of fun with the formula he had made so successful in his pulp fiction yarns set on Barsoom. In other words, if you think of these stories as being parodies you are going to enjoy them a lot more than if you try to take them at face value as adventures. Llana is John Carter's granddaughter and the daughter of Gahan of Gathol and Tara of Helium and she is the requisite damsel in distress.
"The Ancient Dead" (originally published as "The City of Mummies") begins with John Carter out for a ride in his flier, saving a white man with yellow hair from a horde of green men, and ending up the prisoner of Ho Ran Kim, the Jeddak of Horz. Pan Dan Chee, the man Carter rescues, becomes his friend and while playing jetan with Carter's personal set, Pan Dee Chee falls in love with the piece fashioned to look like Llana. You have to admit this is a funny idea, and you have to laugh at the twist ERB comes up with for the "hero must fight for princess" bit that is a staple of his adventures once Llana literally pops up in the story.
"The Black Pirates of Barsoom" picks up where the previous story left off, with our trio walking back to Helium, and is basically one of those stories when John Carter and his group are enslaved and his fighting prowess gets him sent to the arena. There is an imaginative machine that helps keep the slaves in line, but overall there is nothing here that we have not seen before in this series. Meanwhile, Llana continues to act like a brat and put Pan Dan Chee through the wringer in clearly tongue-in-cheek fashion.
"Escape on Mars" (originally published as "Yellow Men of Mars") finds the gang in the vicinity of Gathol, which is being attacked by Hin Abtol, the self-proclaimed Jeddak of Jeddaks of the North. This is the story where Llana has to be rescued (come on, you know it was coming) and finds John Carter being rather glib when it comes to the "to be continued" climax.
"Invisible Men of Mars" has Carter trying to deal with Llana's romantic problems and the fact that he needs to have the fleet of Helium teach Hin Abtol a lesson about trying to conquer the world. He also has to deal with Rojas, a girl he picks up on the way and who keeps throwing herself at him in a way that makes La of Opar look like a nun (keep in mind, John Carter is a grandfather at this point). The big climax is standard ERB fare except the author is clearly having too much fun.
As I indicated above, if you take these stories seriously you are clearly missing the point. During this period Burroughs was into the idea of self-parody, and you can find similar satirical stories in both the Tarzan and Pellucidar series. I like the contrast between Carter being in the forefront with the heroic deeds while Llana toys with Pan Dan Chee in the romantic subplot. The results are not great, but certainly enjoyable, as is the wry sense of humor that the Warlord of Mars has suddenly developed (e.g., at the end of the first story he confesses to Pan Dan Chee, "Well, I never did understand women").
A LIGHTHEARTED PACKET OF WONDERS.......2003-04-11
"Llana of Gathol" is the 10th of 11 John Carter of Mars books that Edgar Rice Burroughs left to the world. This book is comprised of four linked short tales that first appeared in "Amazing Stories Magazine" from March to October 1941. Each of these stories is around 50 pages in length and is made up of 13 very short chapters. In the first tale, "The Ancient Dead," John Carter goes for a spin in his flier to get away from it all, and winds up in the ancient Barsoomian city of Horz. This long-dead city, however, turns out to be anything but. In "The Black Pirates of Barsoom," Carter discovers an enclave of the First Born (last seen in book 2, "The Gods of Mars") and is forced to fight in their gladiator-style games. In "Escape on Mars," Carter goes to the aid of the besieged city of Gathol, and winds up stealing a battleship and putting together an untrustworthy crew of mercenaries and assassins. Finally, in "Invisible Men of Mars," Carter and his granddaughter, the eponymous Llana, come upon the lost city of Invar, and its invisible inhabitants. Space does not permit me to go into the remarkable plot twists and surprises that this book offers. Each of the tales is a little gem of swift-moving action, but this time presented with a decidedly lighthearted touch. For all the serious goings-on, this Carter volume features the most humor yet seen in the series. This combination of deadly action, presented with a light tone, is a very appealing one. The book is also something of a nostalgia piece; of all the books in the series, this one refers back to events in previous volumes more than any of the others. Indeed, I can hardly see how a reader could really enjoy this collection without a thorough knowledge of ALL the previous entries in the series. And in addition to previous events being referred to, we also see, in "Llana of Gathol," the return of several characters from earlier volumes: Ptor Fak from "A Princess of Mars," Tan Hadron from "A Fighting Man of Mars," Zithad from "The Gods of Mars" and so on. This harking back to old events and characters strikes me as being not repetitive, as some readers have claimed, but a nice, almost nostalgic tribute to past events. The book also features one of the longest and nastiest sword fights that Carter has ever engaged in; the one with Motus, in the city of Invar. This is one memorable sequence, indeed. Carter is told several times during the course of this novel, by one or another of his many enemies, that "Resistance is futile." I can't help wondering whether the creators of Star Trek's Borg menace were Burroughs fans! Anyway, these short-story gems will certainly entertain any lover of fast-moving sci-fi/fantasy.
All of which is not to say that the book contains no problems, however. Like ALL the previous books in the Carter series, this one contains some doozies. For example, the use of outrageous coincidence, while frequent in past volumes, is waaay overused in this book. I refer here to the coincidence of bumping into Llana in Horz and the coincidence of meeting the brother of Janai (heroine of book 9, "Synthetic Men of Mars"), not to mention the coincidence of meeting all the other "old friends" mentioned above. Worse still is the fact that by the book's end, the fate of several of the main characters remains unknown; e.g., the fate of Hin Abtol, the main villain of the saga, and of Tan Hadron and Fo-Nar. We are told by Carter at one point that he will soon explain how the First Born have come to be in the lost rift valley, but he never gets around to it. There are the usual inconsistencies that pop up, too: Why do the CLOTHES of the invisible inhabitants of Invar become invisible also? Why haven't the CLOTHES of the living dead in Horz not long since disintegrated? How is Carter able to read the hieroglyphs on the king's crown in Invar, when in previous books Burroughs has told us that each city has its own written symbols? Why is it necessary for Hin Abtol's ships to drop men with equilibrimotors (flying belts) into the besieged city of Gathol, when these soldiers could just fly in themselves? I should perhaps add at this point that I have been told by one of the founders of the ERB List (the best Burroughs Website that any fan could ever hope for) that many of these errors and discrepancies are absent from the original versions of the Carter books, but only added later by addle-brained copy editors. I can only speak of what I have read (the Ballantine/DelRey paperbacks from the early '80s), and these books are something of a mess. Still, the vision of Burroughs does manage to shine through, and despite the glitches, this book is a veritable packet of wonders.
Its Good.......2001-06-15
This book (in my opinion) is very good and i wish that the series would have ended here because the eleventh book, John Carter of Mars (again in my opinion) is one of the worst books that i have ever read.

Escape with John Carter once again into the incredibly imagined world of Edgar Rice Burroughs; Barsoom-a romantic and fantastical vision of the planet Mars populated by strange peoples and even stranger creatures. In Synthetic Men of Mars, Carter is joined in his adventure by Vor Daj, one of his courageous, young, red warriors; together they venture into new lands in search of Rav Thavas-the mastermind of Mars-and perhaps the only one who can restore the beautiful Deja Thoris to health. Thavas, however, is preoccupied with sinister and dangerous plans of his own. In Llana of Gathol, the tenth adventure, Carter fi nds himself incarcerated in the Pits of Horz, with giant rats for company-then the dead rise from their tombs and the heroic exploits really begin.

Book Description
Parents want a special relationship with their children Parents care. They want to guide their children through the rough spots in life and help them make the right decisions. Research shows that a special parental connection is extremely important in safeguarding children against dangers such as substance abuse, sexual promiscuity, criminal activity, and suicide. This is more important than ever before in today's troubled world. But what does making this connection mean? Based on Bowen family systems theory, Connecting with Our Children shows parents how to build the connection found in better relationships. Now parents have a new way to think about and respond to family problems. The author examines common concerns, such as:
- How substance abuse can repeat through generations
- Why fusions between family members drive conflict
- How family anxiety can erupt into violence
- Whether stepfamilies can create a new family unit
- What roles faith and humor play in a family
- How effective are special contributions made by connections with grandparents
Numerous practical examples and stories illustrate familiar situations and concerns, so that parents can learn how to deal with the often confusing situations surrounding their children, as well as those within their own lives. With a different perspective, parents can learn to overcome these difficulties, creating a stronger family and a happier, more open relationship between parent and child.

A Gem Among Parenting Books.......2004-08-29
As a family therapist, I recommend Dr. Roberta Gilbert's books to clients, as well as give them as gifts to my own family. "Connecting with Our Children" starts with parents in order to understand children. Guiding our children starts with thinking through our own principles. Managing children's behavior starts with adults taking full responsibility for our own behavior. Gilbert's understanding of the larger family system and the larger society in which we raise our children gives her a broad perspective that is rare in the field of parenting. The wisdom in this book could save you a fortune in therapy fees.
Thinking pays.......2001-07-23
Problems with kids? Well, perhaps it is time to pay the price, read a book and figure out at least a few of the many factors that go into children becoming "societies problem."
Take back your children through understanding, thats the deal.
Dr. Gilbert asks us to think carefuly and to take a more aware and disciplined approach to dealing with our own children.
A new way of thinking, Bowen theory may some day revolutionize psychiatry, Dr. Gilbert states. We all hope so.
Our families need common sense answers to big problems that seem so much more challenging in today's fast changing world.
Dr. Gilbert's stories help us to understand that our stories are not that different. We ar all run by emoitanl process in a so familure ways.
They are us and we are them. And as Pogo says I am the answer too. Read and learn. Dr. Gilbert listened, studied and learned. Now we can learn from the stories and her explanations.
Dr. Gilber has skillfully stayed away from blame and shame while still adressing responsibility and the big, often reactive issues in society. She points out that parents can learn to think over intense feelings. The possibility of increasing the ability to see what one is doing in the family and then to make better decisions is good medicine for the hopeless.
Diagrams add clarity to seeing how difficult situations unfold.
The main point seems to be that by increasing the ability to be a more seperate individual people who are very intimate, caring people can be more thoughful in response to upsets in others.
Yes,learning to rethink and rework old emotional threats makes for a world of new possibilities.
Family challenges may still be with us but to see problems with out blame, to have fun with our children and grandchildren through understanding the impications of the past, ofers us a real sense of hope.
Many people's ideas have contributed to the growth of Bowen Theory and Dr. Gilbert gives others credit, so that there are many useful rescources in this book.
Try any one of her books, you might like them.
Excellent way to counter drugs, crime, and other problems........1999-11-02
It seems that the greatest problems we face in bringing up our children are drugs, sex, violence, alcohol, and suicide. The best safeguard against all these problems, as shown in several massive studies is the child-family relationships or what is called "connecting." Dr. Gilbert's book is an excellent, highly readable, manual that explains the effective Bowen theory of family relationships and how to achieve the "connection" that is so valuable today in raising children. She also includes a wide variety of case studies and related thoughts and experiences of other professionals. Of special use is a listing of professionals in different cities who are also experts in Bowen family systems theory, which is invaluable to people who are currently experiencing problems and could use some professional guidance. This is a excellent book. Its timing could not be better. I warmly recommend it for new parents, parents with teenagers, and especially grandparents.
