Defending Truth by Shannon McNear
5*****
I especially enjoyed reading this story, which takes places shortly after the Battle of King's Mountain during the American Revolution. Being from East Tennessee, I am very familiar with this history, and Defending Truth illustrates the fierce convictions of the Patriots and the torn allegiances between friends and families. This powerful story is an excellent beginning to the collection. The spiritual themes of loving our enemies and forgiving one another are integral to the story. Very touching narrative.
The Calling by Kathleen Fuller
5*****
I love this sweet romance set in Ohio, 1820. I was pulled into that time of celebrating Christmas, when it seemed more about the true meaning and not mainly about gifts. I've always believed that the Bible teaches God has a plan for each of us. The Calling illustrates this truth well.
A Silent Night by Anna Urquhart
5*****
This is a very moving story and shows the extreme hardship of the pioneers in Michigan in 1830. I'm sure the tenacity of the characters is a testament to those people who settled in that harsh territory. Great story!
A Pony Express Christmas by Margaret Brownley
5*****
Another memorable story by Margaret Brownley. I so enjoyed it. I love both of the very unique main characters. Mr. Corbett is quite the hero and Ellie-May is definitely God's daughter.
A Christmas Castle by Cynthia Hickey
5****
I've always loved Cynthia Hickey's feisty female characters, and Annie is certainly that! Even little May is a darling child, with a mind of her own. I know you will enjoy this story.
The Cowboy's Angel by Lauraine Snelling
5*****
This is an amazing story of harsh circumstances of settlers living on the prairie. It is hard to imagine how these pioneers were able to accept life as it came and make the best of life-changing situations. The Cowboy's Angel is a very special story.
A Badlands Christmas by Marcia Gruver
5*****
Oh my! This story was built on the deception and ignorance of one clueless man. What a shock for some of the characters! It's an interesting and different story which shows how God can work unlikely miracles in the lives of people, who place their faith in Him.
Buckskin Bride by Vickie McDonough
5*****
This intriguing story is set in Oklahoma Territory in 1889. It is a very interesting and different story about a nomad family that lives in a tipi. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The Gold Rush by Michelle Ule
5*****
I enjoyed this story set during the Alaska Gold Rush. I've always been intrigued about this time and place, since reading Jack London's books. However, there is a definite faith slant to this story, which adds a special element.
