Linked Lives by Bonny Brookes is a comfortable read. It takes a walk through the lifetime activities of two young ladies, namely Bonny and Lori. How they met; how life blessed as well as tested them. Good friends are hard to find. True and trustworthy: these are traits that few exemplify. Bonnie and Lori find them in each other. Each trial in their individual world is reduced in complexity as they share and seek guidance. Good times, as well as bad, are borne with greater confidence, knowing they have emotional support in a friendship that many do not have. Lori’s marriage and her children provide Bonny a peek at her dream for life, one that has eluded her. Be it because of wrong choices or by mishap, Bonny can only look on with longing. In life, they each provide the other with an emotional crutch on which they can rely.

There are excellent life lessons exposed, showing how critically important it is to listen, love and care. Honesty and integrity show in the many examples of trials, disappointments, and joys. Ultimately, the story shines as a bright light into the recesses of the mind, and exposes wisdom and discernment as each woman does her best with what she has. Interesting, yet somewhat poignant, I would recommend it.

Linked Lives by Bonny Brookes is a non-fiction book about the lives of two wonderful women and the beautiful friendship that they shared. Bonny and Lori's friendship began when they were teenagers, and grew stronger as they grew older, remaining best friends for the rest of their lives. Even though they chose different paths when Lori decided to drop out of school, they never let this get in the way of their friendship. They were there for each other through thick and thin and each knew that they had a friend they could confide in and turn to for advice and comfort. They were always there for each other during the difficult times and there to celebrate each other's good news. Even when they lived thousands of miles apart, the friendship still survived.

In her memoir, Linked Lives, Bonny Brookes talks about her life and the beautiful friendship she shared with her best friend, and how this friendship helped them survive many challenges. What makes this friendship even more special is how the two managed to remain so close while living thousands of miles apart, in an era before mobile phones and all the other forms of modern communication technology that we now enjoy. Even when they did not talk for many months, they still remained as close as before and there were never any awkward moments the next time they talked. Bonny showed me that you do not need to be near someone to be there for them when they need you. Her memoir tells a beautiful life story, with all life's challenges, tragedies, and triumphs, and I loved reading every single page.

I've lived in Saginaw Mii all my life and worked at the High school Bonnie refers to...also remember well the Alibi and the yellow brick farm house is still standing. Good reading.
