It's sure to be fun, so bring a friend! NEW BOOKS I've just finished reading a very thought provoking book, “The Marble Collector” by Cecilia Ahern. The story revolves around Sabrina whose father has just been admitted to a nursing home with the onset of Dementia. Several boxes that had been stored at his lawyer's office, arrive at her home. In unpacking them, she discovers a unique and valuable marble collection. Her father had always been very secretive about various aspects of his life so, with this unusual discovery, she decides to go back in time to find out his connection to the marbles. Her own self-discovery and the close re-connection that she now establishes with her father changes her life and that of those around her.
