Review: Softly and Tenderly
Just a year ago, I started a new book The Sweet By and By by recording artist Sara Evans with Rachel Hauck. In my review I stated, "I was sorry that I started the book over the Christmas season because all I wanted to do was read!" The second book in the Songbird Series - Softly and Tenderly - was exactly the same. Full ...
Review: The Autism Sisterhood
The Autism Sisterhood is an easy-to-read, go-to manual for parents who have a child diagnosed with autism.

Review: Unlocked
If you are a Karen Kingsbury fan, you have been anticipating her brand new book Unlocked. She even had an excerpt of it in her latest Baxter Family series.

What gets pushed back first? My marriage. I mean, let's get real. My kids can't go without food, clean clothes, baths, love and the ...

A Baby isn’t the Answer to Infertility
As stated yesterday, Shades of Morning provided me with some thought provoking sentences. Maybe I am not struggling with the exact same things as the characters in this book, there are still comments that the Holy Spirit used in my life. Read this conversation between two characters. "It's amazing how much infertility and ...
Review: Shades of Morning
Have you ever read a book that constantly left your surprised? Shades of Morning did that for me. If you would have asked me to guess the plot at the beginning, I would have been totally wrong! Marnie Wittier liked life the way it was. She finally had her coffee house and book store. The past was the past and there was ...
