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 has just started a delightful new program, totally saluting the wonderful , world famous novel Mona's Eyes by Thomas Schlesser! This is an amazing novel telling the magnificent story of how a grandpa helps his little granddaughter, who went blind, but sight returned!! This wonderful book is dedicated "For all the grandparents in the world." Barbara is still 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, as the USA approaches our 250th birthday on July 4, 2026!!
