The House at Sugar Beach by Helene Cooper

I checked out this book because it mentions Knoxville as one of the places the author lived.  It's a biography of a girl growing up in Liberia.  She lived through Liberia's sad history as a child living in the wealthy class of the country then...Her life gets harder as the country changes.She comes to America and then goes back to Liberia years later....Sad...

Meigs Line by Dwight McCarter and Joe Kelly

I saw this book at the Sugarlands Visitor Center and I ordered it from the library...It's written by retired ranger McCarter and it describes journeys he and his friend made in the mountains to find the original boundary between the United States and the Cherokee Nation...The line went through the Smokies and into South Carolina and over the Blue Ridge Parkway.  The two men did not follow trails, they "shot" the historical line and walked through bushes and rhodendron hells and over bluffs and caves and through rivers...Reading the book is like taking a hike in the mountains....I loved it......

Smoky Mountain Magic by Horace Kephart

I saw this book at the Sugarlands Visitor Center...a book by Horace Kephart that I hadn't read, so I checked it out of the library.  It is fiction that he wrote in 1929, and his great  granddaughter inherited the manuscript .  She published it  with proceeds donated to Great Smoky Mountain National Park....It's about a man living in the mountains...semi-biographical.

Must Love Dogs by C...Cook

A funny little paperback I picked up at McKays...She is trying to find a husband in the lovelorn ads...

I just read Robin Cook's newest....Death Benefit...I like his books there  is always a lot of action and this one was good. 
The heroine is a beautiful med student named Pia who solves a mystery at Columbia Med School...
