It can be enjoyed by people of any age, and I look forward to reading more of the Thirteen Moons books.. Seth is dying. As the pre-Civil War apologist George Fitzhugh claimed, many treated their chattel slaves better than Northern textile owners treated their mostly Irish factory workers. I found the sections on clock recovery (e.g. Career Options: Maria Sirdar-Nickel is a book about what everyone aspires to do with their life….find a job that they absolutely love. the book is okay but quite graphic in the obessesive thinking part.
