The Visitor, R

"A good rental is 'The Visitor.' It's about a widowed college professor who travels to New York City to attend a conference, and he finds a young man and woman, who turn out to be illegal immigrants, living in his apartment. Touched by his kindness, the young man, a talented muscian, teaches the aging professor how to play the African drum. Their friendship awakens him to a brand new world that changes his life."

Madea Goes to Jail, PG-13

"This movie features a senior, African American lady with an extensive criminal history who just won’t stay out of trouble, and her escapades with the law are hilarious. This movie also touches base with the civil rights of individuals and how things are not always as they seem. Of course with all of Tyler Perry‘s movies, love, faith and forgiveness are central themes. This is a must-see movie!"
Tamara Pipkin, White Oak

Fireproof, PG

"This is an action-packed love story about a firefighter and his wife who are experiencing problems in their marriage. The husband, played by Kirk Cameron, realizes that his marriage is worth rescuing, and in a 40-day journey he learns the keys to unconditional love and how to develop a dynamic relationship with his spouse. He realizes also that love is not just a feeling -- it's a commitment. This is a great movie for married couples or those contemplating marriage."

Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson

"It's easy to become entranced with 'Between, Georgia.' The town's population of 90 includes an interesting and colorful cast of characters. This book draws you in with the eccentric town and people; the main character is a young woman raised by her deaf and blind adoptive mother. The clever wit of the stories behind these characters is what makes the reader unable to put the book down. True Southern charm and drama!"
Callie Reneau, Longview

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski

"Mary Dinunzio hated high school and detested her rival, Trish. Suddenly, Trish shows up at Mary's law office pleading for protection from her abusive, drug-dealing, mob-connected boyfriend. Mary suddenly feels like she is back in high school and can’t win Trish’s approval no matter how hard she tries. Mary has to face her dark past and save Trish. Scottoline's books are always appealing, captivating and fun to read!"

The Devil in the Junior League by Linda Francis Lee

"Forget any desperate housewives and McDreamy doctors! You're in for fall-on-the-floor laughing when you listen to Linda Francis Lee's 'The Devil in the Junior League' on tape. This is a hilarious tale of how Fredericka, a junior leaguer falling on hard times, agrees to make over a sweet hillbilly neighbor, Nikki, who is fabulously wealthy. Nikki wants to be in the Junior League. Along the way, all the do's and don'ts and pearls of girlie wisdom must be obeyed, such as: stilettos — always unacceptable; only fast girls shave their legs above the knee; no diamonds worn before dinner; and a lady never wears a watch after six in the evening. Listen to this book and you will never look at a twin-set the same way again."
Joann Powell, Carthage
