Working with young children, you can’t help but notice that their jokes don’t make any sense. Not. One. Bit. “Why did the elephant cross the road?” “To get some peanuts” “Knock. Knock” “Who’s there?” “Strawberry” “Strawberry Who?” “Strawberry Head” What???? I have come to realize over the years why this […]
Abigail was possibly more put out by being remanded to bedrest by Dr. Linus Bennett than the shot in the arm by a zealous militiaman that put her there! Little did Linus realize just how irrepressible she was! Regina Scott writes some pretty strong female characters – which are uncommon […]
Second Chance Love is a sweet story of faith and forgiveness. Beth’s parents and the congregation at their church had hurt her when she was a teen and rebelled against them. Despite turning her back on God, she still had strong moral values that she tried to pass on to […]
I wasn’t quite sure what to think when I read the synopsis of this story. I know I like Shanna Hatfield’s books but was unsure how I could like a character like Emery. The type to get drunk and attempt to steal a horse? At the onset, even when Emery […]

Modern-day marriages of convenience seem so far-fetched to me! And yet, if I believe the books I read, there are all kinds of situations in which they make sense. And somehow, Autumn MacArthur has come up with a scenario that is one I’ve never heard before and it works. Don’t […]
A reclusive single father, adorable, identical twins, and a lonely woman combine to create a sweet romance with nods to Beauty and the Beast in A Match to Call Ours. Parker was crushed when the people of the small town he lived in accused him of terrible things. Taking the […]
So often our perception of God is based on our experience with people. If we have been disappointed, hurt or let down by others, we assume that God will disappoint us, hurt us, or let us down as well. Fortunately, God is not like us. He is infallible and his […]
I liked the premise of the story and the mystery behind Thad’s sudden jilting of May when he married her sister. Poor May had always felt inferior to her sister. It didn’t help that Thad’s mother treated her as if she was lazy and incompetent! Yet May had a kind […]
