 Hi, I’m looking for summer
 reading suggestions in the content areas of western
 civilization and AP psychology. At this point we don’t
 have a theme yet but our past themes have been integrity,
 charity, faith, and most recently the corporal works of
 mercy. Suggestions can be fiction or non-fiction. Thanks, Dawn M. Zillich,
