Bethany House (January 1, 2011) This is only my second time reading Klassen though I have her first two titles on my TBR shelf. After picking up The Silent Governess I knew it was time to make this author a must read. Rarely have I experienced historical novels that not only hook me as a [...]

Bethany House (October 1, 2010) While this is fiction I found it more than believable, it truly read as realistic – something that could happen to anyone. Just some adjustments to the social status and character tweaks would be needed to fit an everywoman/everyman scenario. This was my first experience reading Heitzmann but I am [...]

Bethany House (September 1, 2010) Rachel Boyd learned not to trust her father which carried over to doctors in general. Without knowing how to trust people trusting God is an even more indomitable struggle. Alexander draws readers into the past as her characters find their way into minds and hearts long after the pages are [...]

Bethany House (January 1, 2010) I grew up reading Janette’s Prairie romances. I loved the epic family dramas and happy endings though I was too young to realize that in our modern society these were merely fantasies that would likely never come true. I still cherish some of the dreams those stories built in my [...]

Bethany House (January 1, 2010) I should have guessed other readers of the genre knew what they were talking about.
