Annie Bell Coomer was born in 1942 in a small East Texas town in a tent with a dirt floor. Her mother picked blackberries, barefooted, on the day she was born. Meager Beginnings is a story about Annie Bell and of her family's life in East Texas and on the road traveling across Texas as migrant seasonal farm workers. It tells about a mother's love for her children and for a husband who tried his best to destroy his family. The story is about six brothers and four sisters' love for each other and for their mother. It is about a love/hate relationship with their daddy, but love won out in the end. Meager Beginnings is humorous; it is sad, and it is true.

Poland, 1906: on a cold spring night, in the small Jewish cemetery of Zokof, Friedl Alterman is wakened from death. On the ground above her crouches Itzik Leiber, a reclusive, unbelieving fourteen-year-old whose fatal mistake has spurred the town's angry residents to violence. The childless Friedl rises to guide him to safety -- only to find she cannot go back to her grave. Now Friedl is trapped in that thin world between life and death, her brash decision binding her forever to Itzik and his family: she is fated to be forever restless, and he, forever haunted by the ghosts of his past. Years later, after Itzik himself has gone to his grave, his son, Nathan, knows nothing of his bitter father's childhood. When he begrudgingly goes to Poland on business, Nathan decides on a whim to visit his ancestral town. There, in Zokof, he meets the mysterious Rafael, the town's last remaining Jew, who promises to pass on all the things Itzik had failed to teach his son - about Zokof, about his faith, and about himself.

From Meager Beginnings is an interesting and fascinating piece to read told in a nice, easy-to-read narrative voice and style about the authors origins, trials and tribulations, and how he came to America. What bravery, to just go for it,not knowing what might lie before him. Most readers found this book amazing and inspiring. They also equallyamazed by the authors fortitude at such a young age-a testament to his wonderful parents andthe morals and ethics they instilled in him as he grew up. Most people who read his book were touched by his dedicationto and love for his family, especially when he left them to make a better life for himselfand ultimately, to help his parents as they grew older. This is a trait that, sadly, is missing in mostculture today, so reading about it will hopefully impart this value to younger generations.The story is well organized, and progresses nicely from your childhood, to where the author is to the time this book is written with his own family and businesses. The author end the piece with his observations about America,and that even though he is grateful for the opportunities America has afforded him, he is not blinded by its faults, and have sage advice for readers toward that end. The text is interesting throughout. Nicely done.

“A quirky, funny, and deeply thoughtful book”* that’s “filled with characters you’ll love and wish you lived next door to in real life”** from the author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. Lilian Girvan has been a single mother for three years—ever since her husband died in a car accident. One mental breakdown and some random suicidal thoughts later, she’s just starting to get the hang of this widow thing. She can now get her two girls to school, show up to work, and watch TV like a pro. The only problem is she’s becoming overwhelmed with being underwhelmed. At least her textbook illustrating job has some perks—like actually being called upon to draw whale genitalia. Oh, and there’s that vegetable-gardening class her boss signed her up for. Apparently, being the chosen illustrator for a series of boutique vegetable guides means getting your hands dirty, literally. Wallowing around in compost on a Saturday morning can’t be much worse than wallowing around in pajamas and self-pity. After recruiting her kids and insanely supportive sister to join her, Lilian shows up at the Los Angeles botanical garden feeling out of her element. But what she’ll soon discover—with the help of a patient instructor and a quirky group of gardeners—is that into every life a little sun must shine, whether you want it to or not...
