By most accounts Pete Likins has had a successful life. But his personal accomplishments are only the backdrop for the real story--the story of his family, whose trials and triumphs hold lessons for many American families in the twenty-first century. This poignant but ultimately empowering memoir tells the story of Peter Likins, his wife Patricia, and the six children they adopted in the 1960s, building a family beset by challenges that ultimately strengthened all bonds. With issues such as inter-racial adoption, mental illness, drug addiction, unwed pregnancy, and homosexuality entwined in their lives, the Likins' tale isn't just a family memoir--it's a story of the American experience, a memoir with a message. With circumstances of race, age, and health making all of their children virtually unadoptable by 1960s standards, Pat and Pete never strayed from the belief that loyalty and love could build a strong family. Both Pete and Pat have served as teachers, and Pete's long academic career--holding positions as a professor, dean, provost, and then president--illuminates more than just his personal success. Pete's professional attainments produce a context for his family story, wherein high achievements in educational, athletic, and financial terms coexist with the joys and sorrows of this exceptional family.Binding Type: Paperback

Great read
Format: Kindle
Hahahha omg I love Laurie. Momma don't care if you're an Uber alpha, she'll still middle name you & give you a dressing down hahaha. But really, this was a great read, great pacing for a fast paced book (timeline-wise) & great characters that actually felt individual. Plus I always love psycho puppy alphas haha.

Well, this was a really good read. I really enjoyed it. I liked the characters for the most part. Couldn’t quite connect with Darius. Still a very good read.

A sweet Knotty Novel
Format: Kindle
This is just an sweet omegaverse novel. Very low drama. Each guy had their moments and the spice was like paprika. I would definitely count it as a slowish burn but the tension built. I was hoping for more "dark" but definitely count it as sweet.

interesting OV
Format: Kindle
This is definitely a type of OV story I am familiar with just with some unique components that make it its own story. If you’ve read a lot of OV then this plot will be easy to follow and enjoyable.

Loved this omegaverse romance
Format: Kindle
♡Knot Their Darling was such a fun omegaverse escape! The story is fast, flirty, and full of heat, with characters that made me smile and swoon all at once. Candy Marie gave just the right mix of spice and sweetness—I couldn’t stop turning the pages.♡
