A Faith of Her Own by Kathleen Fuller A Middlefield Amish Novel Book 1

Kathleen Fuller gifted this book to my 91 year old mother who loves to read and especially enjoys Amish romance.  And of course, she lent it to me to read.  And I am glad she did.

I really enjoyed this book and have to admit that I haven't read the rest of the series yet.  I will definitely try to do that, though.  I am hoping that Anna Mae and Jeremiah might appear in the next book!  Loved these strong and good characters with hearts of gold!

The book started a little slower than some of the "grab you from page one books" that I have been reading lately, but it managed to touch my heart with the warm and loving characters and their care for others well being.  There is a little conflict, romance and some trials as Anna Mae searches to find the path she is meant to follow.  Decisions don't always come easily as her's was not immediately clear to her.  It's a good book of trust in God's plan for each of us, plans that are not always ones we expect or realize without prayer and patience.

Good book, loved it!

It is Well With My Soul by Carey Scott

I think we all need a book like this!  Specially during this Covid adventure we are all living through at this time.  This book is a feel-good book that can comfort the souls of anyone or any religious group.  It touches on loneliness, our personal struggles and gives ideas on how to open up to God and share our deepest thoughts, concerns and feelings with Him.

A good book to comfort the soul!

Holidays in Willow Valley by Linda Weaver Clarke

I have enjoyed all of Linda Weaver Clarke's books.  You can be assured that they are all clean and sweet.  This book contains six short stories of various characters and different holidays celebrated in the 1840 time period.  It is interesting to read of people's customs, and their differences from other countries.  These are enjoyable stories to read any time of year, not just in holiday times. 

The characters are good and the book carries Christian values which I love.

These are very entertaining stories and I hope you will take the time to read them!

An Impossible Price by Davalynn Spencer Front Range Brides Series Book 3

I loved this sweet historical read.  It's a book that is hard to put down.  Sophie is a midwife and Clay arrives in town and stirs lots of feelings in her heart.  But there is something holding Clay back in their relationship. 

This book was well written and grabs you right from the very start.   It would appear to me that the author either has a great knowledge regarding things written in this book or did a lot of research.  It seemed very accurate to  the time and the setting. It's a sweet romance with characters from the earlier books which I always like to see and remember.

I truly enjoyed this book and am sure other readers who enjoy western historical books will just love it.

What Momma Left Behind by Cindy K. Sproles

Page 1 begins with drama!  And the drama never stops.  Worie Dressar is a 17 year old who finds herself in a unexpected parental role.  The story unfolds in 1877 in the Appalachian mountains.  Life was still very rough and rugged.  Worie's mother had been feeding children whose parents died of a fever that was raging in their area.  Kind of reminds you of the Covid days we are experiencing as well.

I loved how the character of Worie's language denotes the language of the mountain people, making it easy to visualize the time and place she was living in.  It's written in the first person of Worie, so a lot of the language in the book portrays this.

This is the second book that I have read from life in these mountains and the first book by this author.  I am certain I will be reading more.  The book is believable, and tragic.  A book that touches on the orphan trains that were also a part of that historical period. The heroine is a strong-willed young woman whose determination does not give up on what she decides to do. 

It is a book worth your time to read and will you feeling full of emotions.  Loved this book.

High Noon (Cyber Division Book 4) By Vannetta Chapman

Book 4  was really a fun read!  It took place in locations that I am very familiar with in my home state, Zion National Park and the Virgin River Gorge area.  Such a beautiful setting for an exciting book about cyber terrorists! 

The rock climbing and repelling add a little more excitement.  A favorite hobby of my grandson!  I really enjoyed the book and there seems to be little touch of romance along the way.  Great book.  You will enjoy it!
