The Colonel’s Lady by Laura Frantz – My Review

Revell (August 1, 2011) As usual I was drawn into the people and places of Frantz’s novel as I opened the covers of this book. Roxie and the residents of the fort each in their own ways won over readers hearts. Of course there is also little mute Abby who wheedles her way into everyone’s [...]

Revell (Jun 01, 2011) If you’re looking for a great summer read for adults and YA readers alike then check out Melody’s newest novel. Spring Break is supposed to mean vacation time and who needs that more than a High School senior before graduation. Madison has Mom and Dad both pushing for Ivy League (different [...]

A Heart Divided by Kathleen Morgan – My Review

Revell (May 1, 2011) A Heart Divided has just launched a new must read author for me. Although romances can get sappy and boring with the same old plots wrung out and ironed into a “new” book. Kathleen has proven with A Heart Divided that there are authors who have unique ideas and write a [...]

A Memory Between Us by Sarah Sundin – My Review

Revell (September 1, 2010) I read Sarah’s debut novel and the launch of this series, A Distant Melody, rather quickly. When I discovered it was just the beginning I began impatiently trying to discover when the next book(s) were to be released. Sundin draws readers into the lives of her characters and their experiences. Ruth [...]

Amish Proverbs by Suzanne Woods Fisher – Review, Excerpt, & Giveaway

Revell (August 1, 2010) The photographs are wonderfully set up and respectful of the Amish feelings of discomfort at having their faces photographed. Many of the scenes are landscapes but the Amish settlements still maintain a quaint picturesque quality that is rare in our increasingly automated world. These gorgeous settings also carry a peace that [...]
