Carrying scars that no one could see, Tori gave the illusion that all was well in her life. Yet the need for full-time security for herself and her best friends grated on her enough to make her want to run away. I’m not sure why “fake engagement” stories are so […]
How Sweet It Is is indeed a sweet story of faith. I loved how Holly, in the midst of the pain over the loss of her fiancé, reached out to the women in the local shelter, caring for them and teaching them life skills. She was so fun, too, with […]
What a delightful story! I’ve seen a number of shows and movies that retell the story of Peter Pan. You probably have too. Each has a unique twist on what happened or tell what happens next. Well, you could say that Dust is just one more of many and yet […]
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 […]

Though I had heard her name often, I had not read anything by Kara Isaac, so it was time to remedy that… I admired the way Lacey was such a take-charge woman! The way she reacted to the last-minute challenge from her company’s owner was amazing. Maybe a little unrealistic […]
I have decided that it must be impossible to write about the Appalachian Mountains without infusing your story with the artistry, imagery, and music of nature. Or so it appears from the ones I have read. An Appalachian Summer continues this tradition with a vivid portrayal of the beauty of […]
A Springtime Heart deals with the prodigal returning but finding mistrust from his father instead of open arms. My heart broke for Thomas as his brothers and his father treated him with resentment and blame that was not his. Dorcas had been rebellious in her teenage years and yet, unlike […]
