Review
"Sex After Prostate Cancer" is an encouraging book about how to deal with the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, including the medical and psychological aspects.
One of the great things about this book is that it covers everything from the medical aspect (what is prostate cancer, what is the PSA blood test, etc) to the psycho-social aspect (how to adjust to sex afterward, what to do about problems with erections, etc).
The author, Lori Wilk, is very passionate about this topic, and it shows in her writing -- you can tell she has a genuine desire to help others.
Her writing is simple and concise, and only tells you what is important. She shares a lot of personal information and anecdotes, which helped me see her points more clearly.
The section about depression following the diagnosis is particularly informative. All too often we get caught up in the medical aspect of a diagnosis, and we can forget about the psychological aspects. There is quite a lot of information (even statistics from the American Cancer Society) in this book, but it is organized well and not difficult to follow.
This book is an absolute must-read if you or someone you know is going through a diagnosis of prostate
cancer.

A Countdown to a Wedding - An A - Z of Weddings by Anna Maslin
Review
"A Countdown to a Wedding - An A - Z of Weddings," by Anna Maslin, is a guide on making the wedding experience as pleasant as possible.
The author had two children marry within a six-month period, so she has first-hand experience in dealing with the struggles of making a wedding enjoyable.
The book strives to inform the reader how to make a wedding cost-effective, stress-free, and memorable for the families and guests.
The book is laid out so that each letter of the alphabet is the starting point for a piece of wedding advice -- for example, A is for Advance Planning.
As the reader goes through the alphabet, he or she learns more and more about the process of planning a wedding.
The book is succinct, yet offers specific advice, such as a list of traditional songs that work well for weddings and how to find a venue.
Whether you are the primary wedding planner or just loosely involved with the planning of a wedding, "A Countdown to a Wedding" is a must-read to ensure you are able to provide an enjoyable, stress-free experience for everyone who attends the wedding.

I'll Never Be Free - The Fires of Love & Hate" by Sky Alexander
Review
The first book in a four-part historical-romance series, “I’ll Never Be Free - The Fires of Love and Hate," by Sky Alexander, tells the story of how a strong woman deals with an unwanted arranged marriage in nineteenth century America.
The 460-page novel, inspired by the author's family stories, is set in small-town Missouri, when the state's biggest wedding is about to take place.
The bride-to-be is the strong-willed Hattie Morran, whose poor father has offered her to be married to the cruel Abner Garland as payment for gambling debts.
Although Hattie is furious she is forced to marry someone she hates, she plans a way to gain the upper hand in the situation, which eventually results in her becoming extraordinarily wealthy.
In addition to the interesting plot, "I'll Never Be Free" has a few underlying themes, the main ones being optimism, perseverance, and faith.
One of the strengths of the novel is the interesting dialogue, which is both engaging and realistic.
The highlight of the novel is its cast of strong female characters. Regardless of the trials set in front of them, they remain determined and optimistic.
Overall, the book is an inspiring, interesting read that is perfect for anyone interested in the historical-romance genre -- and fortunately for the fans, there are more books in the series to look forward to.
