For Love of a Rose

A wonderful story of families involved in growing roses in the south of France.  One of the nicest books I have read in my life. Affiliate link.

Mao's Last Dancer

I loved this book because I enjoy reading about ballet dancers. This is about a poor, young Chinese boy who was chosen to be trained as a ballet dancer. The book tells of his life in the ballet school in Communist China and how he succeeds in moving to the United States. No wonder the book is a best seller. Affiliate link.
