All three stories stole sleep from me and they'll steal it from you, I just know they will if you give them a chance. They are wonderful books that deserve to be on everybody's bookshelf, Christmas and birthday lists. Really, I can't recommend them highly enough. If you're shopping for mom or dad, daughter or son, sister or brother, significant other or a very good friend, you don't need to look any farther than of these divine books for your gift giving this year. So without out further ado here's a brief summery of this outstanding works. The Best Happiest and Saddest Book I've Ever Read 'Tangerine Dream' , by Ken Douglas and Jack Stewart One can look at Tangerine Dream in a couple of ways. It's a coming of age story, not your typical one though, because it involves two Southern California girls, Haley and Taylor, who have an adventure in New Zealand and wind up falling in love with each other. During the course of their adventure, they decide that they want to buy a sailboat and sail away from the pressures their wealthy family's will put on them when they find out they are gay, and the pressures will be plenty, because one of their father's is a United States Senator and he's running for President. And one can view Tangerine Dream as a Mainstream novel along the lines of 'The Horse Whisperer' or 'The Notebook' . It certainly has it's tragic moments when Taylor's twin dies and the burial is guaranteed to elicit tears. And the ending had me weeping like there was no tomorrow. The story has a nice revenge type element to it as well, when the philandering senator gets his comeuppance. And surprisingly this is happy book, despite the tragedy that happens very near the end, despite the weeping, it still manages to make you feel good. I can't recommend this book highly enough, it's the best happiest and saddest book I've ever read. Simply a Divine Story 'The Secret Life of Bees' , by Sue Monk Kidd I was delighted when THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES was selected as book of the month by my book group. I have heard and read so much about this book and had been meaning to pick it up for the longest time. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait! This is a fantastic and charming story that is written with beauty and grace. It was a pleasure to read from start to finish! As many reviewers have mentioned, the story revolves around Lily Owen in the time of the civil rights movement. Lily is a young white teenager who lost her mother at a young age and is being raised for the most part by her black nanny, Rosaleen. One day while trying to register to vote, Rosaleen crosses paths with some of the town's racists and is forced to flee. Lily sees this as her opportunity to start a new life as well, so the two of them head to Tiburon, South Carolina, a town Lily knows of through her only keepsake of her mother. Rosaleen and Lily are taken in by three women beekeepers and Lily begins to start to understand the world in which she is living. Without ruining the story for those who haven't had a chance to read it, I will skip over the rest of the plot of this superb coming of age story and just say that this beautiful book was incredibly touching and moving. It warmed my heart and I look forward to sharing it with friends and family. Funny, Quirky, Delicious Wonderful Baseball Story 'Waiting for Teddy Williams' , by Howard Frank Mosher "Waiting for Teddy Williams" follows the story of Ethan "E.A." Allen who grows up in Kingdom Common, Vermont, the unofficial capitol of the Red Sox Nation, a town with a baseball bat factory, a town where every radio is tuned to every Sox game. E.A. is homeschooled by his single mother, stripper, hooker, escort, wannabe country singer Gypsy Lee Allen, who teaches him much more than the average boy would learn in school. Her lessons also include batting practice. E.A. has two dreams, one to be a Red Sox hero and two, he wants to find his father, who his mother refers to as Mr. Gone and Long Forgotten. Then one day during the summer when he is eight years old, a drifter named Teddy Williams shows up on his family's property and E.A., young man of the house, goes out to shoo the fellow off. But before the drifter leaves, he teaches E.A. a few things about baseball and about life. The drifter will return throughout this humorous story full of quirky characters, always teaching E.A. and yes, the drifter is his dad. And yes, E.A. finally makes it to the majors, playing for the Sox. And yes this coming of age story is about much more than just baseball, but if you are a reader who loves the game, then you're guaranteed to love this book. But you don't have to be a card-carrying baseball fanatic to be captured and captivated by this story. I know, because Mr. Mosher drew me right in and I've never played the game. Here is a list of some more wonderful books that make for wonderful gift giving. You can just skip over the wordy, jumbled together list and go straight down to the thumbnail of the bookcover and click on any of the one's you're interested in and you'll be taken straight to it's page on Amazon.

I sincerely hope you find something to put under the tree this year.

College Gift

Calvin College - Planning Ahead - The Tuition Gift Certificate Program Frequently Asked Questions about Calvin College Tuition Gift Certificates Home Tuition Gift Certificate Other Ways to Plan Ahead To Apply FAQ Contact Us Home FAQ Who may purchase Calvin tuition gift certificates? Anyone may purchase Calvin tuition gift certificates for anyone. You do not have to be a parent, grandparent, or relative in order to purchase a certificate for someone. You may even purchase a certificate for yourself, whether you are a current or future Calvin student. Download an application How do I designate or re-designate a tuition gift certificate beneficiary? When someone purchases a certificate, s/he must designate the beneficiary for whom s/he is purchasing the certificate. The purchaser may, at any time before the certificate expires, re-designate the beneficiary of all or some of the certificate units. This can be done by contacting the Calvin College Financial Services Office. If the beneficiary of the certificate is re-designated, the expiration date will be adjusted according to the new beneficiary’s age. The purchaser may give someone else, or even Calvin College, the power to designate or re-designate the beneficiary of the certificate. Alternatively, the purchaser may give someone a contingent power of appointment, which will permit the appointee to designate or re-designate the beneficiary only in the event that the purchaser is unable to do so because of incapacity, death, or any other reason. Do tuition gift certificates expire? Yes. The expiration date of a tuition gift certificate is determined at the time of purchase based on the age of the designated beneficiary. If the beneficiary of the certificate is re-designated, the expiration date will be adjusted according to the new beneficiary’s age. If the certificate expires before it is used, the purchaser is not entitled to a refund of the purchase price. The value of any unused, expired certificate units is credited to the Calvin College Scholarship Fund. If the purchaser has kept his/her address current in Calvin College’s records, the college will give the purchaser a charitable gift receipt for the value of those certificate units, based on tuition cost on the date that the units are credited to the Calvin College Scholarship Fund. What happens if applying tuition gift certificates to a student’s account results in a credit balance? If a student applies units to his/her account and then has a credit balance on the account, s/he has the option of carrying the credit balance forward or having a certificate reissued for the amount of the credit. No cash refunds will be given for credit balances resulting from the application of certificate units toward tuition. What if I need an itemized statement for tax purposes? Calvin College bills its students for a total amount per semester that includes tuition, room, board, fees, and miscellaneous expenses. Certificate units may be applied to part or all of the bill. The college will itemize expenses for anyone who needs an itemization for tax or gift credit purposes. Will tuition gift certificates reduce a student’s eligibility for scholarships or financial aid? Tuition gift certificates do not affect a student’s opportunity to receive merit scholarships. These scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence without regard to financial resources. On the other hand, need-based scholarships and financial aid are based upon student and family resources. If a parent or student has purchased a tuition gift certificate, s/he must report it on the Calvin College Supplemental Financial Aid Form. A financial aid representative from Calvin’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid would be happy to discuss how the ownership of a tuition gift certificate might affect a student’s eligibility for need-based scholarships or financial aid. If a student is a beneficiary of a tuition gift certificate purchased by someone other than his or her parent or the student him/herself, the certificate is not considered a family resource. However, when the units are applied to payment of tuition, they become a resource and the student's need-based assistance will be reassessed. A financial aid representative will be happy to assist you in planning the most beneficial use of the certificate units available to you. How do I make changes to a tuition gift certificate? The certificate is documentation of the tuition units that are purchased. The official record of the certificate units resides in the Calvin College Financial Services Office . Any changes to the certificate must be made in the records of Calvin College, not merely on the paper certificate that the purchaser holds. How do I purchase a tuition gift certificate? Calvin College tuition gift certificates may be purchased only by giving the college an original, completed application form and personal check. The college cannot accept credit card payments for the certificates or a faxed application without a personal check. Financial Services Calvin College 3201 Burton Street S.E.
