About Summer

Summer Barber spent a number of years exiled from books not attached to a syllabus while completing her education. After marrying the world’s nicest guy, and surviving the demands of the infant/toddler years of her three children, she is now finding some freedom to pursue reading adventures outside of the medical and motherhood realms. The reviews and writings of this blog are solely the thoughts and opinions of Summer Barber and are in no way influenced by other sources…except maybe lack of sleep, sarcastic humor and caffeine.
