This is very similar to the other stories in this series from Debbie Macomber. It continues the lives of the same people and gets you looking forward to the next book in the series for Christmas.

I have now read all of the Ceader Cove series and can't wait for the 11th one to come out. Debbie Macomber wrote this series in such a way that you can't read just one or two, you just have to start at book one and go through the series catching up with the characters lives. I loved they way she leads into the next book in the series at the end of each book. It would be possible to read one in the middle as I started that way, but then ordered the previous books and read in order. If you are a Debbie Macomber fan, you will love this series. The author answered several questions from previous books in the series in this book. Read it an find out what happens.

I was attracted to this book after reading another one of the author's and enjoyed it. This book kept me on the edge of my seat until the end and I read it in two evenings. I would give up sleep to read a great book, and this one was enjoyable. The plot was good and easy to follow and the characters were believable.


Alert (Michael Bennett, Bk 8) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
Review Date: 6/5/2019


I have read most of these in the series. This was one of the best. I will pass it on to my sister to hear and then plan to repost it. It was exciting and hard to turn off when I had to turn off the CD.

I have read a lot of the books about the Amish by different authors. I was pleased to find this author with a different slant on things. This was one of the best I have read and have added her other books to my wish list.

This book is destined to become a Christmas Classic. It has all you could want in a fiction book that has lots of memories of real life. The authors have hit the mark on this one. You will understand at the end why the little boy then a man has kept the Chirstmas sweater all through the years. It was one I am passing on to friends and family and recommended it to others.

This book was truly a surprise. It sat on my self for quite awhile before I pulled it out to read. Once I started it, I didn't want to put it down. It is a Christian novel with a lot of suspense and danger on each page. You don't find out until the very end the answers to lots of your questions. It has parallels to the Bible in places linking it to the evils of the world as well as the goodness. You should find something for everyone in this book. A real surprise!

I have found a new favorite author recently and Karen Harper is exceptional and entertaining. I totally become immersed in her stories and am the characters in the book. I stay up late into the night to finish the books and this one was no exception. It keeps you guessing until the last pages. Great book!

This is the first in the series of three books by Lauraine Snelling. She once again writes about the town of Blessing and the Bjorklund family. I have read all three of the books in this series and could not put them down. Astrid was conflicted regarding heading for the mission field in Africa. She is a woman ahead of her times. You will enjoy reading and following her through this series.


Never Never (Detective Harriet Blue, Bk 1) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
Review Date: 3/1/2022


I read every James Patterson I can purchase or get here or from the library and have been reading him for years. This was not one of my favories, but it was still a good story. It took place in Australia and that part was interesting. It is still worth reading.

I accidently read the second in the series first. It didn't spoil anything. I enjoyed this book just the same. Nora Roberts keeps you reading and dreading to put the book down until it is finished. This is another hit series for her.


Prairie County Fair: After the Harvest/a Test of Faith/Goodie Goodie/a Change of Heart
Review Date: 12/31/2018


This book has 4 novellas that are all set around the yearly Prarie County Fair. It follows the Gaines family though the generations with light love stories based on Christian beliefs. It is light reading and quite enjoyable. It was finished in a day as I was unable to put it down.

This was another of Beverly Lewis's best. It is a complicated story that keeps you guessing to the end. It is a love story, a family story and shows what living within and without the Amish community. I felt it was one of her best books.

This book was a real surprise for me. I had never read a book by Deborah Bedford, but I plan to read her others now. I wanted to skip to the end to find out why the son left home. I never guessed the surprise ending until I read it. The author has a real talent for keeping your interest while telling a story of human frailness and strength.


Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of Warren Jeffs
Review Date: 5/27/2011


The cover of this book drew my interest and this was the first book of it's kind I had read. I learned a lot about the FLDS group that I had not been aware of in the past. I know a lot of LDS members, but they are much different from the FLDS and don't participate in polygamous relations. This was definite a negative look at their lives and religion an I am wondering just how accurate it is for most of the members. I am anxious to read more books about the cult.

Truth or Die is very exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. It has lots of action and no slow sections to pass by quickly. It is full of surprises from the boy genius. There is a love story in the background in which the two were great friends with benefits. If you enjoy James Patterson, you will love this one.
