Hi, I am Barbara Rinella!
Barbara Rinella, a former teacher, defines herself as an “academic entertainer.” For many years she has been celebrating literature and learning through her delightful programs on current books. Barbara is now thrilled to Salute US Military Heroes! Her focus will be on family members who served in WWII and Vietnam, with cheers for American Heroes by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann and, of course the BEST novel, now being made into a movie, The Women by Kristin Hannah!
Barbara will also continue a dramatization of Passionate Mothers, Powerful Sons by Charlotte Gray, a wonderful focus on the amazing mothers of Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt! This is an astounding mother story of two American girls, Jenny Jerome and Sara Delano, both born in 1854, and grew up in New York! Jenny falls in love at 19, when she meets 24 year old Lord Randolph Churchill at a Royal yacht party! Sara finally has a boyfriend when she is 26 years old and meets a kind, 52 year old widower, James Roosevelt. Both marriages will lead to creating baby boys who will totally soar to power and true fame!
