What a wonderful story! Its pages were filled with stunning imagery, challenges, intrigue, faith, and romance. It was pretty amazing to picture Cora and Nathan ascending Mount Rainier (or Mount Tacoma, for those in that camp!) without the aid of the tools climbers today find indispensable. For the socialite to […]
In all the historical fiction I’ve read, I don’t recall ever reading about a hero who is a dentist or a Lady in Attendance. What a refreshing treat this was! A Lady in Attendance is now my fourth story by Rachel Fordham and she is on my shortlist of authors […]
The Defend and Protect series started with a bang! Literally. When a peaceful jog ends in bullet wounds and explosions, Luke and his friend, Zane wind up in the hospital and Faith winds up heading an investigation that has confounded the FBI and the Secret Service. No one knows who […]
To say I was deeply moved seems so inadequate to describe my experience reading When Twilight Breaks. The characters and the events were fully captivating. Past pains that had shaped Peter’s and Evelyn’s characters and worldview threatened to drive them apart. Peter and Evelyn saw the events occurring in Germany […]

Wow! I’ve been waiting for The Price of Valor to learn Ham’s story and also to see how all the loose ends in both the Global Search and Rescue and The Montana Marshalls series tied up. And it was everything I hoped for, and more! While the action seemed non-stop as Ham […]
Set on protecting the land, the animals, and her inn, the feisty innkeeper, Kate, wasn’t afraid to do whatever it took. I admired her strength and ingenuity, and especially her determination. She knew the land surrounding her so well and was a better fit to help Will and his regiment […]
When accusations of treasonous behavior by one of his ancestors threaten Tucker’s campaign for Sheriff, he and his best friend, Penelope, set out to disprove the slander by seeking the treasure his family was accused of stealing. I was captivated from the start by Liz Johnson’s clever way with words. […]
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 […]
I was a little in awe of the way the author maintained the voice of Worie in her speech and her thoughts throughout the story! Narrated in the first person, the entire story was told with an Appalachian accent. I have not often seen this done – it certainly worked […]
Aria lived her life in order to repay her twin sister’s gift to her – her heart. She always felt that Kia was the brave one, the one who lived big while she was the practical one who merely watched others live their lives. Whenever Aria showed bravery, she attributed […]
