I just finished reading Mario Kiefer’s second book The Ordinary Doll. I am feeling rather speechless,and if you know me, that is rare! The book centers around Luciana, one of the twelve children of Mama Fabia. The story follows Lucianna’s life from just under 13 to age 60 plus. It is wonderfully written, well researched … Continue reading The Ordinary Doll by Mario Kiefer

The Ordinary Life by Mario Kiefer

It is not that I found it academic, no, although it certainly has factual information in it and obviously Mario Kiefer did a terrific job of researching his work, but it is so real. I know of the life … Continue reading The Ordinary Life by Mario Kiefer
