The Librarian of Boone’s Hollow is such a beautiful story of faith, hope, and love! I loved the way that both Addie and Emmett clung tightly to their faith and the things their parents had taught them. Each showed strength of character when faced with superstition, prejudice, and suspicion. Told […]
By the time I was finished reading, I had a tear or two in my eyes from the sweetness of this lovely story told through letters, journal entries, and beautiful narrative. As much as I love boy-next-door stories, I especially love historical boy-next-door-stories! Not only is A Life Once Dreamed […]
I have been thoroughly enjoying the Kyona Chronicles! Downfall of the Curse lets us get to know Lucy better – she is Jon and Scar’s oldest daughter and was introduced in Legacy of the Curse. She is very talented at fighting and is also beautiful – neither of which is […]
I absolutely love the Biblical account of Ruth! The way this young woman followed her mother-in-law into a country that was not only foreign to her but also was most likely hostile towards her. What motivated her to follow Naomi? How did the people of Israel treat her? Her kindness […]

This was a fun series from a new-to-me author. I really liked the way the author spent plenty of time on each scene, developing it well and letting it come to its natural conclusion. There was plenty of time for real-life to take place. Norah was caught completely off guard […]
I love reading debut books, especially when I find treasures like Three Little Things. The style of writing is very engaging and the language used is simply beautiful. There were so many quotable quotes! Whisked away to small-town Iowa during the First World War, I was fascinated by Arno, Hattie, […]
I’ve been looking forward to reading The Land Beneath Us, but now that I’ve finished, I’m a little sad this wonderful series has concluded. So now that I know how things worked out – I’m so glad!! It was the perfect conclusion. I even got teary at the end. I […]
