Kathy (bookgoddess1969) Added:

Oheka Castle by Joan Cergol & Eileen Schaffer (Not just about the building, also about the man who built it, Otto Herman Kahn)
A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard

The fact that it takes me so long to work through this list shows me that I read way too much of the same thing. I definitely have to broaden my horizons!

Only 2 to go now! :)
