The Quilt Room Secret by Lisa Jones Baker


I enjoy Amish fiction.  I enjoyed the story of Trini and her quilting friends and the way they cared for one another.Trini and Jacob were friends as children and he loved her for her kindness and later in life hoped they could have a future together.  Trini has a secret that could change her life.  She holds the secret in her heart,  and has a hard time bringing it out.  The story was a sweet story of this couple.  This is a light story with a pleasant story line.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Freedom's Pride by Pegg Thomas (Path to Freedom Book 2)

Mark Allen has completed his indenture.  Now to find Gwen, to whom he promised that he would reunite with her sister after the indenture were completed.  The book tells of a man who loved Gwen and hopes to reunite with her as well.  He is driven to fulfil his promise and will not stop till he finds her.  Faye, sister of Gwen is not at all similar to Gwen.  She is all about a good life.  The story is good and well written.  And has some twists and turns along the  way.

I really enjoyed this book and it really grabbed my attention. I kept reading till the end.  It was a book that you had to read and find out how things go forth.  I received a complimentary copy of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Allie's Amish Family Miracle by Tracy Fredrychowski


 This book totally held my attention throughout.  There was lots of great reading to keep me turning the pages.  It started out difficult for Allie, a Mennonite young women who loves Reuben, an old order Amish.  As Reuben's mother realizes this she tries everything she can think of to sabotage their relationship.  For various reasons, Saloma, Reuben's mother, does not treat Allie in a kindly manner.  As Allie tries to deal with the bitterness of Saloma, she is never dealt a kind hand.  It takes great love and faith to work through the difficult times ahead.

I totally loved this book.  It was realistic and doesn't paint a beautiful picture of a completely loving family.  Love, trust in God and lots of forgiveness are a strong threads in this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Miracles at Promise Lodge By Charlotte Hubbard

This is a sweet story of Isaac, whose past seems to be his identity and how he is seen by others.  As he takes a job which requires the trust of others, some things are very hard for Isaac and he doesn't always make the best decisions.  He makes a mistake and has to work things out, which can be difficult.  I loved Maria, despite her many annoying flaws.  She added lots of color and "action" to the story. I enjoyed reading about the characters from earlier Promise Lodge books.  All the characters were fun to read about and the story line was well developed  I enjoyed this book very much. I received a complimentary copy of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
