Recommend a Book: Find Me by Rosie O'Donnell

I knew Rosie from watching her talk show one or two times years back. She looked like a typical american Aunt from your neighbors. What she chattend on her show was way off my routine engineering life. If it is not by chance, I would read her books since her books are not on my kid's book reading list. I picked up her book, no, actually audio tapes from my neighborhood's bookstore due to throwing away price: $1. $1, it is not bad for me to hear what she would say about her life.

Next day, I inserted her audio tape into my car tape player, and drew to work. After approximately 10 minutes, I was fully immersed myself into her candid voice recalling her early life and her dealing with a troubled teenage girl. I have to slow down my driving to ensure my safety.

The book was wriiten in an oral story-telling way. Roise's voice is candid and moving. The whole book recalled Rosie early teenage life and her lasting feeling of the loss of her mother at her early teen year, and interspersed her current working life and dealing with a troubled teenage girl.

Most of vocabularies from the book are common household words. The languages are ones describing a typical comtemporay daily life of an american family and a working woman. Later, I borrowed a copy of the book from the library to read one more time.

The book would be a very good book for ESL living in America to read along. Words and phasese you learn from the book can be used in your daily communications right way. it will also be helpful for ESL to understand American Welfare system.
