The Kissing Tree by Karen Witemeyer, Regina Jennings, Amanda Dykes, Nicole Deese – Book Review
I can’t resist reading books by Karen Witemeyer, Regina Jennings, or Amanda Dykes so I snagged a copy of this book as soon as I saw it was available! And now, I have Nicole Deese to add to my list of must-read-authors! I think my favorite type of multi-author collection […]
The Refrain Within by Liz Tolsma – Book Review
Just between you and me, I can’t read many books dealing with the Holocaust. Or read them often. Reading about that terrible time in history tears me up inside! A few years ago, I came across The Melody of the Soul by Liz Tolsma and was so intrigued by the […]
Love’s Pure Light by Susanne Dietze, Shannon McNear, Deborah Raney, Janine Rosche – Book Review
Each of the stories in this Christmas Anthology is delightful! I have been familiar with the works of all the authors except Susanne Dietze and was glad for the opportunity to get to know and enjoy her writing as well. Some time had passed between the time I read the […]
The London Restoration by Rachel McMillan – Book Review
When Brent and Diana reunited after four long years of separation, life didn’t simply return to normal. Too many secrets hold them apart and prevent the return to the intimacy they just started to build as a newly married couple. The imagery of a London blasted by Hitler’s blitz was […]

Whose Waves These Are by Amanda Dykes – Book Review, Preview
Amanda Dykes is a new author to me. I had seen many posts about her book on Twitter. After reading the description, I was intrigued and made sure to get a copy. Where to start? There was a wonderfully rich assortment of characters peopling this story. So many stories to […]
When Valleys Bloom Again – Book Review, Preview
Despite the pool in our backyard, my dad managed to make it an oasis. Potted roses lined the deck around the pool, we had a fishpond with a waterfall surrounded with tropical plants. The covered patio had pots galore with climbing vines and hanging baskets. Gardens and ponds must […]
The Sky Above Us by Sarah Sundin – Book Review, Preview
It is so maddening to me when people expect me to second guess! Dropping hints and supposing that I will listen to what they didn’t say instead of what they do say. I am one of those people who appreciate directness (with kindness, of course!). If you want me to […]
