While not a completely new concept – the woman who grew up away from civilization – Mary Davis makes it fresh and new in The Damsel’s Intent. I really appreciated that she didn’t make Nicole out to be completely inept and unable to fit into society because of her isolation. […]
Wow! Have you ever noticed how sometimes the second book by an author you loved just isn’t quite the same? You settle in, all prepared to love it and then you don’t. No worries here! The Last Roses reminded me of everything I loved in The Courtship of Harry’s Wife. […]
In From the Heart, a story that is Amish and still is not, Miralee Ferrell explores the courage it often takes to return home. Kathy was treated like a prodigal returning, yet without the love of the father to welcome her – just the resentment of her older sister, Miriam. […]

Tipton, Oregon is once again faced with a mystery. This time, things are bigger and more dangerous than Nancy, the librarian sleuth, is prepared for. It was clear that Tara had a secret which had her skittish and ready to run. Little did she expect the people of this sleepy […]
