BOOKS
Louis Zamperini died this week at age 97. If you haven't read the non-fiction book about this man's extraordinary life, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand, it's a good one! Barb and Tracie highly recommend the book.
A movie based on the book, directed by Angelina Jolie, will be released on December 25, 2014.
