Kate Bowman is a new author for me and so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The story was intriguing, not only due to the older main character but also for the spinning aspect. The Spin I’m In is an interesting story knitting elements of Woman’s Fiction, mystery, and romance […]
Reading the synopsis, I wondered how much like The Parent Trap The Secret Sisters Club would turn out to be. While the overall theme is the same, the story is very different, much to my relief. Of the two girls, I much preferred Tillie. She was more a gentle rule-follower […]
It’s so refreshing the way Tina Radcilffe integrates faith with everyday life so beautifully in this sweet romance. In Ready to Trust, Claire has had her share of family difficulties. She has a hard time trusting people and a hard time trusting God. And because of this she’s a bit […]
Though he was only a new believer, Tait lived his faith. I’m not saying he was perfect – he wasn’t. Yet he had strong convictions that he worked to live out. Every day. Not only did he take Eden, a complete stranger into his house because she was in need […]
On Tour with Prism Book Tours I’m a sucker for a second chances type story, especially one that has a child in it. And this is Meghann Whistler’s debut novel so I knew I had to read it! First of all I want to mention that I had forgotten Falling […]
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.

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 […]
It is terrible the number of ways we tend to judge others. When Jesus taught that we should take the beam out of our own eye before helping others with the speck in theirs, it was because we don’t tend to notice the beam!! But, oh, how we see those […]
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 […]
