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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Finding the Road Home simply made me smile! It is everything a sweet romance should be. Heart-warming. Funny. Sweet. Add just a pinch of conflict and there you have it! I loved Mitch! This cowboy-police chief had sacrificed himself to raise his five younger siblings when their mom died and […]
This was my first story by Mindy Obenhaus. Intrigued by the synopsis, I was glad for the opportunity to read it. Dealing with cancer is a theme of many of the stories I’ve read in the past year, especially. While cancer is a huge part of this story, it is […]

An adorable, grieving child. Small town. Friends turned enemies – or at least non-friends. Not to mention the beautiful cover! It sounded like the recipe for a great book and therefore I had to give it a read. I liked the way that Anna was intelligent and yet insecure and […]
I think I’m a cat whisperer. Our neighborhood has a large number of cats that prowl about, and for some reason, they love our yard. Most are fairly skittish and won’t come near us if we are outside, but there are two in particular who not only are not afraid […]
Here in Florida, retention ponds abound. We have at least four at the office, maybe five. They are stocked with fish and a number of the people who work here enjoy spending breaks fishing, doing a catch and release. . . Several of my friends are fishing enthusiasts and one […]
