From bestselling authors in the Amish genre come four sweet stories about picnics and romance.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts: </span> Each story is well written and you will be hooked from the first page. The characters are so real you forget you're reading a work of fiction and instead feel like you're visiting friends. I loved all four stories and it's impossible to pick a favorite. While they're all different, each one had a story that gripped me and kept me wanting more. </i><i>I got so immersed in the stories I forgot to cook dinner, they're that good!</i><i> I chose to read all four stories at once but you could read them one at the time, spread apart how ever you like. I truly loved An Amish Picnic and I think you will too. </i></div>

Esther Marie Shrock loves her job at Valley Grocery Store where she’s worked for four years. Despite a stutter that has plagued her since childhood, she thrives filling orders from a steady stream of customers. Still, at 25, she and her family wonder if romance is in her future.</div>
<div class="m_-1436313186052789679MsoListParagraph" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Jasper Cotter isn’t good with people, but he’s found himself obligated to take over day-to-day operations of the family owned grocery store—a store he doesn’t have the first clue how to run. Thrown together, Esther Marie and Jasper don’t exactly see eye to eye. One night, the store loses power, and the candles aren’t the only things shooting off sparks. Esther Marie and Jasper are suddenly forced to discover common ground when it matters most, and they might be surprised with love along the way.</div>

Nina Stoll and Ira Yoder are just friends. Just friends and fishing buddies. Every Saturday afternoon, they have a picnic at their favorite fishing hole and see who can out fish the other. Until Nina starts to wonder if there’s more.</div>

Her plans to share her feelings go awry, and circumstances seem destined to keep Nina and Ira apart. With both Nina and Ira confused and hurting, it’s going to take courage, some help from the community matchmakers, and a little bit of divine intervention for Nina and Ira to realize they’re each other’s perfect catch.</div>

When a picnic outing is diverted by the discovery of a package of letters dating back to the 1970s, they take it upon themselves to find answers to a mystery that causes them to rethink their past and consider their future.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Daredevil Zac Wilson isn’t the first celebrity to keep a secret from the world, but his might be the most marvelous in history: Zac doesn’t age and injuries can’t kill him. What’s more, he’s part of a close-knit group of others just like him.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Holed up in Harbor Vale, Michigan, Zac meets two more of his kind who claim others in their circle have died. Are their lifetimes finally ending naturally, or is someone targeting them—a predator who knows what they are?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">The answers Zac unearths present impossible dilemmas: whom to protect, how to seek justice, how to bring peace to turmoil. His next action could fracture forever the family he longs to unite. Now might be the time to ask for help. . .from God Himself. But Zac’s greatest fear is facing the God he has run from for more than a century.</span></div>

<i style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts: </span>While this is the first book I have read by Ms. Stevens it definitely won't be the last! She crafts a story that has you hanging onto the edge of your seat and has you wanting more. You get sucked in from the start and quickly forget you are reading a work of fiction. The characters become friends and you find yourself experiencing what they experience in the book. It's an amazing read and I highly recommend it. </i></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">For years, the theme of immortality has intrigued me. I love the Elves of Middle-Earth, the “happiest and saddest” of the peoples Tolkien created as they watch the ages pass. I love the exploration of aged sorrow in <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Tuck Everlasting</em>. I’ve stuck with TV shows which shall remain nameless (but, ahem, a few feature vampires) because I’m always wondering how did <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">this</em> writer tackle immortality? Anything new? Are the characters convincingly old and young at the same time?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">The thing is, while some of these fiction works satisfy me more than others, I’m always left with a tug of incompletion. Eventually I figured out this tug was a story in my own head and heart wanting to come out, a contemporary story that included the gospel. What might God’s plan be for those whose earthly days seem unnumbered? How would their age affect their interactions with humanity and with faith? These questions were the springboard for the No Less Days series, and of course the answers vary with the individual. Ultimately this is why I write: to explore people, their inner selves, their relationships. My goal is always to create characters that breathe from the page.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">In <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">From Sky to Sky</em>, we get a look into the head and heart of Zac Wilson, who has been on the run from God longer than any of us could imagine: a full century playing the prodigal. I always try to be honest about how much life can hurt, “even” for the Christian; if we had triple the number of years to accumulate hurt in this broken world, we’d have a lot of it. That’s true of all my ageless characters, including Zac. To scratch the surface, this man fought in two world wars and has outlived all his children.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">But the sum of Zac is much more than his collected wounds. He is a deep-feeling, fun-loving, generous guy. He enjoys music and physical activity. He has an insatiable sweet tooth and a need for open spaces. He’s not afraid to laugh at his own expense, and he has a boundless love for people and the stories of their lives.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Cruel is the illusion of love. Robbed of her true love by his mean-spirited mother, Charity is <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">given no choice but to leave Texas and follow her Prince Charming to the Golden State. Instantly attracted to her, Morgan agrees to help the young beauty on her journey, but where all other ladies paled after first blush, his initial fascination only deepens with every turn of the wagon’s wheels. Though obvious to all those around the two—how perfect Morgan and Charity were for each other—will the hard-headed, strong-willed daughter of Liberty O’Neal Harrell ever realize it? </span><br />

<i style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts:</span> I really enjoyed Leaving Texas! It will hook you from the first page and you won't be able to put it down until you finish it. Ms. McAdoo has a way of writing that resonates with her readers in a special way, almost like she wrote the book especially for you. I have enjoyed every book I've read that she has written, if you've never had the opportunity to read one of her books I hope you give Leaving Texas a try. You won't regret it!</i><br />

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">As my second family saga series—Cross Timbers Romance—grows, and the children of Book One GONE TO TEXAS come into adulthood, I fall more in love with these characters. This story—Book Four in the series, LEAVIN’ TEXAS, takes readers on another wagon train that historically left right about the same time of year as its early spring setting from Red River County, heading for California in 1850.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">LEAVIN’ TEXAS is Charity O’Neal’s story wherein she determines to follow her Prince Charming, Eberhart ‘Hart’ de Vecchi, to California to start her new life with him there—no matter the naysayers or rough trails ahead. But as so often is the case, our plans and those God has in place for us don’t always correlate.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Many times, we’ve prayed about it—what we want Him to do, how we expect everything to turn out—and feel certain we are in His will. I personally thank God for praying mothers, friends, and grandmothers who perhaps see us heading in a wrong direction and beseech Him to guide us in His way, not our own.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">My life has benefitted from such praying women.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />So does Charity O’Neal’s.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />I imagine yours has as well!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I love the well-known verse in Jeremiah! “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11 Especially the ‘expected end’ part. I find great comfort in knowing His thoughts—or plans—are of peace and not evil, and that He intends to give us an expected end!</span></div>

<br />
<br />
The Protective One is the third book in Shelly Shepard Gray's Walnut Creek Series. If you haven't had a chance to read the others yet, don't worry you can start here and follow along just fine.<br />
<br />
Elizabeth Anne, or EA as her friends call her, seems to have her life all figured out. She and David have been dating for quite a while and everyone assumes the next logical step is an engagement and marriage. Their families are neighbors and have been friends for as long as anyone can remember, it just feels like their relationship is meant to be. Somethings aren't always what they seem EA has a restless deep down that she can't contain. Maybe it's because her close group of friends, The Eight as they are more commonly known, are all pairing off but EA just feels the need for a change.<br />
<br />
Will Kurtz was feeling at odds himself. Also a member of The Eight, he felt things changing and nothing would ever be the same. Sure he was proud of his friends for their marriages and promotions but he just felt stuck. Maybe he needed a job change or a change of heart, he isn't sure, he just knows he needs something. He's not ungrateful for what he has, he knows he's blessed more than most, he just wishes for something more. But what?<br />
<br />
The Protective One is more than just a romance story, it tackles hard to talk about issues with courage and grace. I loved Elizabeth Anne! She reminds me so much of myself. She's kind and caring, has a heart of gold but she isn't afraid to speak up for herself when she feels the need to. She's definitely the kind of friend you want to have around. At times during the story I wondered how on Earth she ended up with someone like David! Where she is kind and thoughtful he is rude and belligerent. When things don't go his way, look out! There is a temper tantrum on the way. I found him to be childish, rude and down right manipulating. I was so glad when EA found her voice and told David to get off her porch, they were though! Of course, even when breaking off a long time relationship she still had tact and finesse, I wish we could say the same for David.<br />
<br />I think my favorite part though, was when EA befriended Marta, her sewing student. Although they were from different backgrounds, EA is Mennonite and Marta is English, EA felt a pull towards Marta. I was glad that EA listened to the Lord and befriended Marta because she sure did need it! Marta's husband was a lot like David only worse. He was controlling, manipulative and also abusing. Of course EA didn't know all this she just felt like she was supposed to be in Marta's life for a reason.<br />
<br />
I found myself feeling bad for Will. He always offered encouragement to his friend and co workers but didn't feel right sharing his problems with others. He was so happy for his friends but he felt like his time would never come. He felt awful for feeling this way, mainly because he thought it made him feel petty and stupid. He doesn't want to seem ungrateful he just wants something more, some type of change. When Will finally unburdens himself to EA he finds a kindred spirit. She's not judgmental as he feared, she actually understands and offers him sound advice. Will finds himself looking at EA in a different way, sure they've been good friends for years but could they be more?<br />
<br />
I absolutely LOVED The Protective One and I think you will too! It will have you laughing out loud one minute and gasping with surprise in another. If you've never read one of Shelly Shepard Gray's books, this is a great one to start with!<br />

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Cookies and Cheer by Amy Clipston</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />As Christmas draws near, Alyssa Byler dreams of a window display for the bakery where she works. When she decides to design and build a sugar cookie nativity scene, all she needs is the right cookie cutters-and handsome blacksmith Kyle Smoker is the one she asks for help. Using Kyle’s handmade cutters, Alyssa creates a striking display that brings more tourists to the bakery than she can handle.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />And when shoppers request handmade cookie cutters of their own, Kyle finds himself overwhelmed by the demand. As Christmas approaches, Alyssa realizes she’s been too caught up in work to focus on the true meaning of Christmas-and too distracted to explore the feelings she has for Kyle. Together, they put aside the holiday rush and spend their time celebrating the season that has brought them together.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Loaves of Love by Beth Wiseman</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />As the only girl in a family of eight, Katie Swartzentruber has been left in charge of her family’s bakery while her mother recuperates from surgery. At first, Katie doesn’t think tending to the bakery alone will be difficult. She’s worked alongside her mother for years. But Christmas is coming, and with the holiday comes a flood of patrons, both regulars and tourists. When Katie becomes overwhelmed with the orders she is receiving, she is tempted to move her Old Order family into the modern world by purchasing propane ovens to help with the workload. She finds help from an unexpected source-childhood friend Henry Hershberger, who has harbored a secret crush on Katie for years. He’s been afraid to tell her how he feels, but he’s sure that this Christmas is his moment. As the demands of the bakery only get more intense, both Katie and Henry have to decide what really matters . . . and find the courage within themselves to go after it.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Melting Hearts by Kathleen Fuller</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Mattie Shetler is an expert baker, so when her aunt Carolyn begs for help during the busy Christmas rush, Mattie eagerly packs her bags and heads to Birch Creek. What she doesn’t know is that her uncle has also asked for help with the bakery’s new expansion, and he’s asked none other than Peter Kaufman, Mattie’s sworn enemy. As the two work side by side, though, Mattie discovers not all is as it seems. With Christmas just around the corner, Mattie and Peter open their hearts for the greatest gifts of the season: forgiveness and maybe even love.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Cakes and Kisses by Kelly Irvin</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Martha Ropp works hard at her family’s bakery, making cakes and pies in preparation not only for Christmas but the many community weddings, including her sister’s. To help during this busy season, Martha’s mother hires Ambrose Hershberger to make deliveries. Martha remembers Ambrose as a gentle giant from her school days, but soon discovers that still waters run deep. The more they work together, the more they want to spend time together outside of the bakery, but both Martha and Ambrose are too timid to make the first move. That’s when the town matchmakers step in.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts:</span> Four stories guaranteed to get you into the holiday spirit! I love each of these author's and I jump at the chance to read anything they write. They did not disappoint, each story is beautifully written and will tug on your heart strings. These stories stand alone so you can read one or all but if you're like me you'll read all four in one day. If you're looking for something new to read I highly recommend An Amish Christmas Bakery</i></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">As a little girl, I can remember singing in church with all my heart “Blessed Be the Ties That Bind.” Those <i style="box-sizing: inherit;">ties that bind</i> our hearts to one-another in love and to Jesus himself, are indeed blessed. But what about ties that aren’t blessed?<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Hi I’m Dawn and I’m super glad you stopped by today!<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I’m a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. At 19 years old, I became a wife and very soon after, a mother. After years of abuse, I was also a victim of rage and bitterness. The childhood sexual trauma was over, but the abuse aftermath—anger, pain, and depression—continued to destroy me. The cords of unwanted bondage choked joy and life out of me. <span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Today, I live fierce and free and serve as a freedom-coach to help others do the same. I’ve been on a journey for over 25 years, seeking God’s freedom through his truth and learning how to empower others to do the same. <i style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Freedom Challenge: 60-Days to Untie the Cords that Bind You</i>, is the map God gave me to find my way out of bondage, and now I’m sharing it with you! I pray you will also experience God’s glorious deliverance.<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">And now some fun facts about me:<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I have a wonderful husband named Paul. Together we pastor a church called Tribes—but here’s the deal, he’s the “Pastor’s Spouse,” not me.<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I am a grandma of 11! It’s the awesomest—a word I use to describe it! I especially like what my grandson Colton calls me…Jam’ma.<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I love animals—all kinds—and I’ve determined there are absolutely no germs in dog kisses.<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I also have to admit, I adore anything that glitters or sparkles and someday hope to have a bling store.<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Lastly, I love Jesus and I still sing my heart out in church!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">In the midst of our busy, stressful lives and the increasingly chaotic state of our world, we can lose sight of—or never really discover—our personal significance. We desire meaning and fulfillment but battle the stress and loneliness that often push their way into the forefront of life.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />What makes you <i style="box-sizing: inherit;">significant</i> as an individual? As a woman? As a wife, mother, daughter, or friend? No matter what your age or current course in life, you can come to know your remarkable significance and eternal value. As you thirst for relief from stress and loneliness, you can build a foundation on what is divine and eternal, while also immensely practical for this life on earth. The truths God says about you as a woman are powerful and glorious!<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />In <i style="box-sizing: inherit;">Significant</i>, you will discover that you are the steward of your own self and will be challenged to embrace every season of your life. What is God calling you to do through the power of His Holy Spirit? The days of cowering in fear, hiding behind insignificance, and wallowing in lack of opportunities are over. God is blowing doors wide open for women as never before. It is time for women to march forward in grand anticipation of all that God can do through even one woman submitted to the call of God and filled with His Spirit.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />So often we look for identity, purpose, and comfort in all the wrong places. We have sought lasting meaning from temporary fixes, immature voices, and cultural Band-Aids. This book is a call to women who possess a relentless desire to discover their unique purpose, to embrace their true identity, and to be comforted by irrepressible hope.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><i style="box-sizing: inherit;">Significant</i> reminds women from every generation that identity, confidence, and purpose come from who God <i style="box-sizing: inherit;">is</i>—not from how we feel at any given time. How wonderful to know that we are allowed to be both God’s masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time!<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /><i style="box-sizing: inherit;">You never know your true self until you know yourself in God.</i></span></div>

<i style="background-color: #d9ead3; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts:</span> This is not your normal "self -help" book! I'm not normally a self help book type of person. To me, they usually come of preachy or patronizing. I'm proud to say this one isn't like that, it's like sitting down with your most trusted friend and receiving advice you never knew you needed. It's a call to action book that will have you "on fire" to discover what makes you, you. My copy looks like it's been to war. I've highlighted, dog eared pages, and put sticky notes throughout. It is jam packed with helpful and insightful information. This is a book you will read again and again. I recommend it to anyone who is feeling stuck, worn out, or just looking for something that is missing. </i></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Significant is the book that I have yearned to write ever since I was a young woman in college and was deeply impacted by Elisabeth Elliot’s classic work Let Me Be a Woman. That book, which Elisabeth wrote in the form of advice to her daughter, Valerie, on the brink of her marriage, taught me, in every way that mattered, how to be a woman of value and purpose. Elisabeth knew that the only way a woman could exert any lasting influence on her culture was to embrace the truths found in the Word of God.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I remember longing to have a profound influence on a generation of women the way Elisabeth did on the young women of my own generation. I aspired, even at the naive age of twenty-two, to be a voice of wisdom and purpose for the women who would come after me.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">The years flew by, and soon I was a young mother who was homeschooling her brood of five creative, active children. Every school-day morning at ten, I sent the children off to read alone or to go outside to play so that I could turn on my little transistor radio and listen to Gateway to Joy, the thirty-minute program that Elisabeth Elliot hosted for many years. In that season of my life, I was smitten by her knack for calling me out of the daily routine of dishes, laundry, and little sleep to a sacred place of loving and serving the Savior. Elisabeth reminded me time after time that even the mundane can be transformed into a place of beautiful worship. Even today, I can still hear her voice saying, “Anything, if offered to God, can and will become your gateway to joy.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Isn’t it interesting to realize that a person you have never met has the ability to change your life? As I have learned from so many people whom I have never met in person, I hope that my voice will not just be static in your world, but that you will clearly hear and take to heart the life-changing truths I present in this book. You can be assured that these truths have been gleaned by a real woman who has embraced the fulfillment and joy that comes from submitting her life to God’s abundant calling.</span></div>

Posing as her sister for Christmas is the only way to save her, but Maggie Lofton needs help—even if it means working with her twin’s cowboy ex-boyfriend, Liam Pike.

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>My Thoughts:</i> </span><i>This book will grab you from the start and won't let go until the story ends. Dana Mentink has a way of writing stories that make you forget you're reading fiction! I have to admit this book wasn't what I was expecting, it was so much more! I love to figure out the plot twist as I'm reading and usually I can figure out how it's going to end but not this time! She kept me guessing right until the very end. I highly recommend Deadly Christmas Pretense!</i></div>

<div>
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">I just love Christmas, don’t you? In our area we have a lovely holiday train. It’s an old steam type train which is decked out in lights for festive holiday tours. I was so thrilled that this cover features just such a train. Of course, in the novel the train is the scene of hair raising danger! Maggie, our heroine in this novel, is a cook. She serves up some mouth watering dishes (when she’s not dodging a killer.) I thought perhaps you might enjoy a Mentink holiday family recipe! God bless you as we enter this holiday season!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">After fulfilling a pledge to a dying friend, Zacharias Hamilton is finally free to live life on his own terms. No opportunities to disappoint those he cares about, just the quiet bachelor existence he’s always craved. Until fate snatches his freedom away once again when the baker of his favorite breakfast treat is railroaded by the city council. As hard as he tries to avoid getting involved, he can’t turn a blind eye to her predicament . . . or her adorable dimples. Abigail Kemp needs a man’s name on her bakery’s deed. A marriage of convenience seems the best solution . . . if it involves a man she can control. Not the stoic lumberman who oozes confidence without saying a word whenever he enters her shop. Control Zacharias Hamilton? She can’t even control her pulse when she’s around him. Once vows are spoken, Abigail’s troubles should be over. Yet threats to the bakery worsen, and darker dangers hound her sister. As trust grows between Zach and Abby, she finds she wants more than his rescue. She wants his heart.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Settings – Real or Imagined?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
One of the key decisions an author has to make before she begins to write is selecting the setting for her story. And the first choice she faces is the question of whether to use a real or imagined location. Roughly half the stories I have written are set in fictional towns. The use of a fictional setting allows an author greater freedom to manipulate the environment of her characters to fit her plot. This provides a great deal of flexibility. However, there is something special about setting a story in a real place. First, readers who are familiar with that place never fail to get excited about seeing a town they recognize in print. Second, if an author can find historical photos and documents, she can add a wonderful layer of authenticity to her setting that might otherwise be missing. Third, an author may turn up fascinating tidbits when studying the history of her setting that find their way into the story and bring a flavor the author never could have supplied on her own. This was the case as I wrote <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">More Than Words Can Say</em>. All of the stories in my <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Patchwork Family</em> series have been set in real places. Pecan Gap, Texas for <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">More Than Meets the Eye</em>, Honey Grove, Texas for <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">More Than Words Can Say</em>, and coming this fall we’ll travel to Gainesville, Texas for the concluding novella, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">More Than a Pretty Face.</em> Researching each location brought its own unique discoveries, but I have to admit that researching the small town of Honey Grove brought this history-loving girl a special level of joy. For example, there is a legend about how the town got its name that I knew needed to be incorporated into my story. Legend has it that when Davy Crockett was on his way to join the fight at the Alamo, he stopped in a grove of trees and set up camp. There were so many bees in that in letters to family and friends, he called the place a “Honey Grove.” He carved his initials into one of the trees and intended to return and settle there after the war. Unfortunately, as we know, Crockett did not survive the Alamo and therefore did not return. One of his friends, Samuel A. Erwin, later found the grove and became the first settler in 1839. Many people recall seeing the initials carved into Crockett’s bee tree even into the early 1900s, which led me to believe that this legend was based in truth. It doesn’t play a pivotal role in my story, but if you watch for it, you’ll find it mentioned. Discovering the <a href="https://www.honeygrovepreservation.org/home.html" style="box-shadow: currentcolor 0px 1px 0px 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #007acc;">Honey Grove Preservation League’s website</a> proved a tremendous boon. Their online historical resources are some of the best I have ever come across. Historical photos, newspaper articles, government records—it was like stepping through a time portal every time I visited. And I visited often. Thanks to the Preservation League, I was able to mention real people and places in my novel. Places like the Commercial Hotel, the home of James Gilmer that was built during my time period, Wilkins, Wood & Patteson Dry Goods, and Dora Galbraith Patteson’s millinery shop on the east side of the town square. While Zacharias Hamilton and Reuben Sinclair are completely fictitious characters, there really was a lumberyard located on the corner of Sixth Street and Rail Road. As fiction authors are wont to do, I did take a few liberties with Honey Grove’s history. To my knowledge, there was never any city ordinance banning women from owning businesses in town, which was a key plot point in <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">More Than Words Can Say</em>. In addition, Mayor Chester Longfellow was a complete invention of my imagination. The true mayor of Honey Grove during this time period was J.H. Smith, a man who served in that capacity from 1888-1897. He must have been a well-loved city official to hold office for nearly a decade. I paid brief homage to him by having him step back into office when my fictitious mayor resigned. I hope you enjoy stepping back in time with me into historic Honey Grove, Texas. Zach and Abigail might not have lived there in truth, but I like to believe their tale is a representation of the many amazing love stories have taken place in that sweet little town through the years.</div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">After putting his serial killer brother in prison, former US marshal Mitch Whitehorse chooses a solitary country life—until his brother escapes. Now Mitch’s former sister-in-law, Jane Reyes, needs protection…for herself and the toddler she’s kept a secret. Mitch still isn’t sure of Jane’s innocence in his brother’s crimes, but to keep his nephew out of a killer’s grasp, trusting her is his only option.</span></div>

<i style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts: </span>This book is more than I could have hoped for! It has drama, intrigue, and even romance. I love how you can feel the emotion from the characters and the scenes come alive in your minds eye. She doesn't weigh you down with details but gives you just enough to get you hooked. I have to say, I wasn't too sure about this book, as I said before I scan usually figure out the gist or who dunnit before I get halfway through but not this time! I thoroughly enjoyed Danger on the Ranch and I think you will too!</i></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 16px;">We’re kicking off a new cowboy series, but this one is going to take you for a wild ride! Set on a ranch that’s sandwiched between the sea and the hills required me to do some on site research of course! I spent quite a while in this gorgeous area of California, looking for cattle. I found the cattle, and also the perfect setting for this first book. It’s a creepy one, I’ll warn you, as hero Mitch Whitehorse comes face to face with the serial killer brother he sent to prison….and his desperate ex sister in law. Saddle up and enjoy the story! God bless!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Camden Grayson loves her challenging career, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. “Moving on” is Cam’s mantra. But there’s a difference, her two sisters insist, between one who moves on . . . and one who keeps moving.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Cam’s full-throttle life skids to a stop when her father buys a remote island off the coast of Maine. Paul Grayson has a dream to breathe new life into the island—a dream that includes reuniting his estranged daughters. Certain Dad has lost his mind, the three sisters rush to the island. To Cam’s surprise, the slow pace of island life appeals to her, along with the locals—and one in particular. Seth Walker, the scruffy island schoolteacher harbors more than a few surprises.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts:</span> </b>I enjoyed the book. Ms. Woods has a way of pulling on your heart strings and having you invest in the story and the characters. It's not a work of fiction, or at least it doesn't feel that way, it feels real, like you know the characters and their struggles personally. I don't want to say more for fear of giving too much away! I loved the story and I think you will too!</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Embracing the future means remembering the past . . .</span> When Beck Holiday lost her father in the North Tower on 9/11, she also lost her memories of him. Eighteen years later, she’s a tough New York City cop burdened with a damaging secret, suspended for misconduct, and struggling to get her life in order. Meanwhile a mysterious letter arrives informing her she’s inherited a house along Florida’s northern coast, and what she discovers there will change her life forever. Matters of the heart only become more complicated when she runs into handsome Bruno Endicott, a driven sports agent who fondly recalls the connection they shared as teenagers. But Beck doesn’t remember that, either. Decades earlier, widow Everleigh Applegate lives a steady, uneventful life with her widowed mother after a tornado ripped through Waco, Texas, and destroyed her new, young married life. When she runs into old high school friend Don Callahan, she begins to yearn for change. Yet no matter how much she longs to love again, she is hindered by a secret she can never share. Fifty years separate the women but through the power of love and miracle of faith, they each find healing in a beautiful Victorian known affectionately as The Memory House.</div>

<i><b style="font-size: x-large;">My Thoughts:</b> I hate to admit it but I wasn't sure it could be done. I wasn't sure an author could tell a story from multiple points of view and hold my attention. Usually with those types of stories I get so confused or lost I end up tossing the book aside. But not this one. This one not only manged to grab and hold my attention but it had me staying up late just to finish. I found myself gasping out loud in some parts because the author threw me a curve I didn't see coming. This book went far beyond anything I was expecting and I know you will love it. Ms. Hauck writes in a such a way that the reader gets drawn into the book and becomes part of the story. You feel their pain and can see yourself setting right beside them on some of their wildest adventures. I loved The Memory House and I hope you give it a try!</i></div>

When Mama Applegate spoke as if Everleigh were a guest rather than a family member, she embraced it with grace. Because at the end of the day, she was Rhett’s wife. She alone shared his dreams, his heart, his life.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
And at night, when she couldn’t sleep, his soft breathing was her lullaby.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Listen, mister, I have to get back to work or I won’t make it home in time for our dinner.” She tugged at his shirt collar. “So are you going to tell me why you’re here?”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“I was going to wait until tonight, but I got so excited . . .” Rhett stepped over to the desk in front of Everleigh’s and retrieved a long white canister. “Here. Open it. I feel like a kid at Christmas.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Rhett, what have you done?” She pried away the cap and slipped out a set of drawings.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Here, let me.” Rhett unrolled a rendering of a cozy house with a wraparound porch nestled between two cottonwoods. “Our house, Ev. I took those sketches you made after we were married and gave</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
them to the architect. What do you think?”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Th-this is our house?” She wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning against his thick arm as she studied the drawing.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“It’s our house, darling.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Everleigh studied the drawing. It was just like she imagined. “Are you sure?” She gazed up at her husband. “I didn’t think we’d saved enough money.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“We’ve saved every penny of your salary, and I finally sold the stud bull to Jacob Marshall. He’s been after me for a year . . .” Rhett held her with one hand while flipping through the drawing with the other. “I bought the ten acres by the stream. You know, the one with the trees we loved. Dad wanted to give it to us, but I said no strings.</div>

I wanted to buy it so he can’t hold it over me. Not that he would, but family business can get tricky.” Everleigh leaned to see the name of the road. Memory Lane.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Darling, the section right off Memory Lane? The spot I wanted?”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Rhett’s grandmother had named the dirt road years ago, when she imagined a large family with lots of grandkids running around.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
She envisioned an Applegate community.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
But her sons, Melvin and Earl, went to war. Only Earl—nicknamed Spike—returned home the fall of 1918. He inherited the ranch, married Mama Applegate, and fathered Rhett, an only child. Grandma’s two daughters married and moved away.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Your granny would be proud, darling,” Everleigh said. “We’re beginning her dream.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Sh-she would.” Rhett cleared his throat, pressing his fist over his cough. “So, w-what do you think?”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">…</em></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Tell him!</em> The timing could not have been more perfect.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Rhett, sweetheart—”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
He jerked his wrist up, checking his watch. “Oh, Ev, sorry, darling, but I promised Dad I’d pick him up from the hardware store thirty minutes ago.” He gave her a quick, passing kiss. “I’d planned to show you these tonight, but I just couldn’t wait.” He rolled up the drawings and tucked them into the canister. “What is it you wanted to say?” On reflex, he checked his watch again.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Nothing,” she said, smiling. “I’ll see you later. We can talk then. I have work to do anyway.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“You sure?”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Everleigh fell into him and pressed her cheek against his chest.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“You make my dreams come true, Rhett Applegate.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
He kissed her one more time, then held her at arm’s length.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
“Distraction, girl, you are one beautiful distraction.”</div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Steel sharpens steel, but will its sparks ignite unfailing love?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Instead of living a pampered life on the civilized east coast with a new husband, rejection compels Christina Adams westward with her widowed brother and his two daughters. Harboring ulterior motives, Ethan Cord, the man her brother hires to accompany the family, is more a match for her, and he appears almost perfect, but how could she possibly trust her instincts about him when she’d been so wrong about her previous fiancé? Will her past ruin her future?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Thoughts:</span></span> I really enjoyed this book! The author wrote a story that manages to capture you attention yet leaves you wanting more at the same time. I have read several of Mrs.McAdoo's stories and have loved everyone. From the characters to the setting you will fall in love with Uniquely Common. I absolutely loved Christina! She has a grit and determination you can't help but admire yet she's not so tough you can't relate to her. I loved everything about Uniquely common and I think you will too!</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I’m so excited about this year’s Lockets and Lace story! I’ve fallen in love with its characters. Asher and his sister Christina, his girls Samantha and Patricia, and his friend, Ethan Cord is certainly a man’s man though he has a checkered past to overcome.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">His wife dies in childbirth, leaving him with two little girls, then when his parents pass, too, what’s to tie Asher Adams to New York?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">His younger sister Christina is about to be settled into her new life, married and well cared for, so there’s nothing holding the wine merchant back from his dreams of owning a vineyard in the Napa Valley. He decides a new life in the west is the best thing for him and his daughters.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Then at the last minute, the family is turned upside down when the rogue engaged to Christina dumps her and calls the wedding off. Asher’s already sold the brownstone. She suddenly has nowhere to go and no one to watch over her if he leaves.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">She never wanted to, but he insists her only choice is to go with them, accompany him and her nieces and make her new life in California . . . and he knows the perfect man for her, too!</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">One thing I love about this book is that as it draws to its end in Saint Joseph, Missouri, a new young woman is introduced, Remi, and her book—my May ‘Prairie Roses Collection’ story REMI—continues with the Adams family and segues into a new romance!</span></div>

<br />
If you love a mystery that will both thrill you and have you hanging on the edge of your seat, then you have come to the right place!! Killer Exposure by Jessica Patch is all this and more!! If you've never read a book by Ms. Patch this is a great one to start with so grab a copy and give it a try. You won't be sorry!<br />
<br />
Greer Montgomery may not have it all, but she's doing the best she can. She's working three jobs and taking care of her daughter, Lin. Her only regret may be that she doesn't have enough free time to spend with Lin, but she's working hard to give Lin the life she never had. While working one of her many jobs, Greer stumbles upon a crime in progress. As a deputy sheriff she feels it's her duty to chase the criminal into the near by woods. This rash decision almost cost Greer her life if not for Locke Gallagher, her night in shining armor come to save the day, or is he her worst nightmare?<br />
<br />
The last thing, or person rather, that Locke Gallagher expected to find while on the job chasing tornadoes is Greer Montgomery. He loved her once, then she left him and his broken heart in the dust without so much as a phone call. It hurt but he wasn't going to tell her that. Right now he's busy trying to save her from some crazed lunatic trying to kill people. Locke has been a failure at life, at least that's the way he sees it, but he refuses to fail when it comes to protecting Greer and her little girl.<br />
<br />
I don't like mystery and intrigue novels as a rule. They either give me nightmares or I can figure out who the killer or bad guy is about half way through. As with any rule there are exceptions and Jessica Patch's books are that exception!! She has a way of writing that grabs you from the start and while they are a little scary, it's nothing to keep you up at night. She gives plenty of detail so you can picture the scenes in your mind's eye but you don't get bogged down.<br />
<br />
As with any book (and sometimes movies) I try to figure out who did what before the author is ready to tell me. I tend to think I'm pretty smart and while I may not always know who the bad guy/girl is I usually have it narrowed down to one or two people. With Killer Exposure I was so sure I knew who the killer was,but when the true identity was revealed I actually gasped out loud!! It's so not who I thought it would be. I have to admit, that person wasn't even on my radar!<br />
<br />
Killer Exposure isn't all doom and gloom, Ms. Patch manages to sprinkle humor as well as tender heart felt moments throughout the book all the while a crazed killer is on the loose. It all feels natural though, nothing forced or fake, she added them to provide levity and humanity to her book not just for filler.<br />
<br />
I truly enjoyed Killer Exposure and I can't wait for you to read it! Even if mystery/intrigue isn't your normal genre, I hope you give it a chance. You won't be disappointed! I loved everything about this book, even me being wrong at the end, ha ha! If you do read Killer Exposure come back here and let me know what you think! Also, let me know if you were able to figure out who the killer was before the identity was revealed.<br />

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">After her father’s death, Lizzy Brookstone, a trick rider in the all-female Brookstone Wild West Extravaganza, wants nothing more than to quit her role as the star of the show and live a quiet life on her family’s ranch. But returning home would bring Wesley DeShazer, the ranch’s foreman and the man who broke her heart, back into her life. In addition, the Brookstones’ new manager fears that Lizzy’s departure could doom the already cash-strapped show.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em; text-decoration-line: underline;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Hope grows in Lizzy during a stopover at Fleming Farm. Ella Fleming not only has a natural talent for trick riding and could easily replace Lizzy, but she’s eager to join the show to flee a forced betrothal. However, while there, one of the show’s wranglers is killed in a manner Lizzy finds suspicious. And during her escape from the farm, Ella stumbles across a secret that could affect all of their lives, as well as the future of the Brookstone Extravaganza.</span></div>

Tracie Peterson is one of those authors that whenever I see a new book by her I grab it because I know i will love it. She has an expert way of weaving a tale that will grab your attention and have you begging for more. Here characters are so life-like that I find myself forgetting they're fiction! I really enjoyed When You Are Near and I think you will too. </i></span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I’m excited about the new Brookstone Brides series and had so much fun researching for the various characters and locations. This is a story about a fictional Wild West show with all female performers. Prior to the rodeos we see today, the Wild West shows traveled throughout America and Europe to entertain people and give city dwellers a taste of what the American frontier was like. At least their version.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Buffalo Bill Cody was famous for his shows, which brought Native Americans and their culture into the world of people who might otherwise never have even seen an “Indian.” Pawnee Bill was another entertainer who sought to keep these shows alive.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">For the fictional show in my novels, I wanted to focus on three female characters who became a part of the Brookstone Wild West Extravaganza for varying reasons. Lizzy Brookstone is the heroine in book one, When You Are Near, and as the daughter of one of the show’s owners, she has enjoyed a starring role as a trick rider.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">For research I went to Pueblo, Colorado to the ranch of Karen Vold, a famous trick rider and rodeo star. Linda Scholtz, a famed trick rider, was teaching a clinic there along with Karen at the Red Top Ranch Trickriding School.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">These are two remarkable Christian trick riders who have long worked to keep the sport alive. I spent three days getting to know them and what they do and learned so much. And just to prove that we weren’t all work and no play, I thought I’d share my attempt at trick riding. What I won’t do for research!</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">The series will have three books, as usual, and each book will focus on a different lady and her skills. Mary is a trick shooter like Annie Oakley, and Ella is a Roman rider who stands on the backs of two horses for her part in the act. It was so interesting learning about each of these types of performers, and I hope you’ll get a chance to read all three and enjoy the stories of the Brookstone Wild West Extravaganza.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">While attending the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, Winnifred Wylde believes she witnessed a woman being kidnapped. She tries to convince her father, an inspector with the Chicago police, to look into reports of mysterious disappearances around the White City. Inspector Wylde tries to dismiss her claims as exaggeration of an overactive imagination, but he eventually concedes to letting her go undercover as secretary to the man in question—if she takes her pistol for protection and Jude Thorpe, a policeman, for bodyguard.</span></div>

Silly, I know, but that's how my brain works! While it has elements of mystery and intrigue it's not so scary that you won't want to finish or have nightmares if you do. I was immediately drawn into the story and I couldn't put it down until I finished the story. I'm so glad I took a chance on The White City and I simply cannot wait for the next installment in Ms.Hitchcock's True Crime Series!!</span></i></div>

She tries to convince her father, an inspector with the Chicago police, to look into reports of mysterious disappearances around the White City. Inspector Wylde tries to dismiss her claims as exaggeration of an overactive imagination, but he eventually concedes to letting her go undercover as secretary to the man in question—if she takes her pistol for protection and Jude Thorpe, a detective, for bodyguard.</div>

I'm super picky about the type of journal I want because they're a year-long commitment. Most I've found are either too bulky, too short, or have no space to jot down your thoughts and prayers. Then I found the Ellie Claire 365-Devotional Journals.<br />
<br />
First of all the covers are absolutely beautiful! Whether you like bold vibrant colors or you prefer something more peaceful and serene, Ellie Claire has something for you! Each one has an elastic band to help hold your journal shut which is super handy. If you throw it in your bag to take with you, you don't have to worry about the pages getting bent or destroyed. The journals are also flexible! Yay!! No lugging around bulky hard backs, or trying to figure out how to maneuver to write on the pages. These journals were designed with YOU in mind.<br />
<br />
At the top of each page is the date (no year) to help you stay on track. I like that they don't have a year so if you give or receive more than one, one won't go to waste. Under the date is the devotion which takes up about half the page. Each devotional has a theme which we will get to later. Under the devotion is what I like to call free space. It's lined space for you to write your prayers, jot down your thoughts or journal, however the spirit moves you. I like that they left plenty of space for you to utilize your creative side.<br />
<br />
I said each devotional has a theme and they do. The first one I want to talk about is The Earth is the Lord's and Everything in it. This devotional encourages you to take a minute and marvel at God's creation. If we stop and look we can see his hand in everything, from the changes of the seasons, to the way the animals move. I don't know about you, but, sometimes I need the reminder to stop and realize God is right here with me, if I only look.<br />

The second devotional is Peace Begins With Me. It has a beautiful and soothing cover. This journal is all about trusting God to calm your fears and anxieties. It's about praising God instead of worrying and trusting that He is able even when we cannot see. This devotional takes us throughout scripture to show us how God is able to calm the storms and relieve our fears and that He is faithful to do just that, if we only ask.<br />

Last and certainly not least is the Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus devotional. I don't know about you but Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus is one of my favorite hymns..my favorite lyric is "And the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace". This devotion encourages you to look at God's grace and mercy in your life. We know he loves us, but, sometimes we get so busy chasing the things of this world that we miss Him. We miss his presence in our present and wonder why we feel so alone and empty.</div>

<i><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: large;">My Thoughts:</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"> I thoroughly enjoyed The Amish Midwife's Secret. The story grabs you from the very first page and won't let you go until the very end. Ms.Good has a talent for writing stories that pull on your heart strings and this one is no different. The characters are relatable and make you forget you're reading a work of fiction. If you've never read one of Ms.Good's stories or you've never tried Amish fiction I highly recommend The Amish Midwife's Secret. You won't be sorry!</span></i></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">The Amish and Herbal Remedies</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
As many of you know, my Amish novels are based on real life. I get ideas from hanging around Amish friends, hearing their stories and observing their lives. I’d never invade their privacy by telling their stories exactly as they happen, but the things I learn trigger plot ideas.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
I’ve always been fascinated by the way the Amish approach healing. Once thing I’ve learned is that, although they’re usually willing to visit doctors, they don’t always take the medicines that are prescribed. Instead, they often substitute herbal remedies. That, and several visits to one of my favorite Amish natural products stores, gave me an idea for one of the conflicts in <em style="box-sizing: inherit;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Amish-Midwifes-Secret-Love-Promises/dp/1538711281" style="box-shadow: currentcolor 0px 1px 0px 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #007acc;">The Amish Midwife’s Secret</a></em>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Leah, an Amish midwife, prefers herbal remedies. Of course, that puts her in direct conflict with Kyle, the new <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Englisch </em>doctor in town, who only believes in science and traditional medicine. Put the two together and lots of sparks fly. Of course, some of those sparks are also of a romantic nature.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Leah is not only a midwife, but her family owns a natural products store. She knows the best herbs for healing. Rather than sending a small boy to the hospital for pneumonia, Leah covers the baby’s chest with a warm mixture of onions and other herbs and spices (some Amish friends prefer raw onion for congestion), and she feds the baby fresh pineapple juice for his cough.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
As a doctor, Kyle is horrified. He wants to admit the baby to a hospital at once. And he expects the old country doctor he’s replacing to back him up. Instead, Dr. Hess informs Kyle that many of the Amish go to doctors for a diagnosis, but then rely on herbal treatments rather than prescriptions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Kyle, who’s been debating about whether to stay in Amish country or move to a big-city hospital, decides to remain in Lancaster and make it his mission to prevent the Amish midwife from harming newborns and their mothers. He certainly doesn’t expect to have his eyes opened to other ways to handle illnesses. But he has to admit, Leah’s methods do seem to work. When a crisis comes, they soon discover that it takes both of them to save a baby.</div>

Each one is beautiful in its own way but it was hard to pick a favorite.<br />
<br />
First up is the Illustrated Word Journal. I really liked the cover it reminded me of paintings we studied in art class in high school. Mature and sophisticated.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSbm8UgDVnyLSvvhA1Or3-Sh2YnGY4ppu4N3Qfn3s5t5bkaeSNeYVIXs8fTyBUneH4dCx-kcWMXDl9vs6ika2U1UJ3Z6CuoyXjV4JCN6jwEBbcEDtRmh-vqBwJCaxrtDlJIBuuvvWi4q3U/s1600/illustrated+word+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSbm8UgDVnyLSvvhA1Or3-Sh2YnGY4ppu4N3Qfn3s5t5bkaeSNeYVIXs8fTyBUneH4dCx-kcWMXDl9vs6ika2U1UJ3Z6CuoyXjV4JCN6jwEBbcEDtRmh-vqBwJCaxrtDlJIBuuvvWi4q3U/s320/illustrated+word+cover.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Inside you will find beautiful pages to color as well as lined pages for you to record your prayers, thoughts, or whatever you feel led to record.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The pages are on the thick side but I wouldn't recommend using markers. There are some fine details in a few of the pictures and markers could bleed through. While this is a beautiful journal it wasn't really my taste.<br />
<br />
The next journal I reviewed was the Faith and Lettering Journal.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The cover of this one is really fun and out of the three I like this cover the best. Inside you will find page upon page of lettering and drawing tutorials. These tutorials are some of the best I've seen because they take you through the process step by step and offer you plenty of practice.<br />

The pages aren't lined and are more of a grid look which allows you freedom to add your own flair as you learn the techniques. The pages are thick and I think markers would be okay but I prefer to draw with gel pens or colored pencils. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not all pages come with pre-planned activities or lessons. Some are just empty pages, embellished in the corners for you to use however you like. I appreciate the fact that the whole journal isn't pre-planned that they allowed space for your individual creativity to shine. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last and certainly not least is the Illuminate Your Story journal. As with the other three the cover is absolutely beautiful and the inside is jam packed with goodness! I love how they made the cover look like an actual story book. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Inside you will find beautifully lined pages topped with inspirational quotes for you to write whatever suits your mood. You have plenty of space to write or draw however you feel led. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Along with the lined pages you will find tutorials on how to draw animals throughout the journal. These will come in handy if you're wanting to embellish your stories or even in your Bible journaling. I love how they go step by step through the process and allow you to trace the animal before you have to draw it yourself. I find felt pens to be helpful here, although if you aren't careful they may bleed through. When drawing on my own I used a pencil that way if I made a mistake it was easily correctable.

It's not just animals you get the opportunity to draw, throughout the journal they teach you how to embellish letters. I really like these! They remind me of something you would find in an old novel. I haven't had the opportunity to draw one yet but they seem like they would be easy peasy. </div>

Each of these journals is great in their own way! I feel like depending on your mood and who you are buying for you will definitely have a favorite but no matter which one you choose you can't go wrong! I highly recommend these to any one wanting to draw, learning to draw, or just looking for a great Christmas gift. </div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">After being forced to use a pistol against invaders, Evelyn Mapleton is no longer the timid girl her extended family expects. The more her aunt and cousin resent her new independence, the more Evelyn is determined she’ll make her missing father proud by taking up his cause and aiding Confederate soldiers—even if she has to outmaneuver the Yankees guarding her home to do it.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Samuel Flynn’s life is consumed with two priorities: learning to become a proper guardian for the young orphans he’s adopted and obtaining his physicians license. When his final testing sends him to a Federal Army field hospital, the last thing he expects is to be entranced by a mysterious woman. But when Evelyn’s misguided exploits put her life in danger, will he risk everything he’s worked for to save a woman he thinks is his enemy?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><u style="font-size: x-large;">My Thoughts:</u><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>I never really cared for history in school. It was always so boring to me and I could never remember one battle from the next. Stephenia McGee writes in such a way you forget you're reading historical fiction. The characters leap off the page and you forget they aren't real! </i></span></div>
<div class="yiv7617679226MsoNormal" style="color: #26282a; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: #d9ead3;">When I was reading the scene where the Yankee soldiers broke down the door to Evelyn's Aunt Mary's house I could picture it so vividly in my mind's eye. She has a way of describing people, places and events that make them stand out to you but not bore you with too many details. </i></span></div>
<div class="yiv7617679226MsoNormal" style="color: #26282a; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I was hooked literally from the first sentence and couldn't put it down!! The story moves along at a nice place and even though there are historical events mentioned you don't get bogged down. There is just the right amount of drama and intrigue. You never know what's going to happen next. </i></span></div>
<div class="yiv7617679226MsoNormal" style="color: #26282a; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Evelyn was my favorite character, probably because I relate to her the most. I tend to feel like I don't belong no matter how hard I try. I seem to be the odd duck or just blend into the back ground. Unlike me though, Evelyn doesn't let this stop her! She is determined to make a difference in the cause she believes in at any and all cost. You have to admire her gumption! It's not an easy time for a lady to make a fuss and not know her proper place but she did it anyway simply because she felt it was the right thing to do. </i></span></div>

<br />
Travel back to Wells Landing with Amy Lillard's latest novel in her Wells Landing series. If you haven't read the other books in the series, not to worry, you can start here and not be lost.<br />
<br />
Ivy Weaver never meant to be alone. She was in love with Zeb Brenneman and thought they would be together forever. When he left her and headed for Pinecraft she was devastated, but she had her family to keep her going. That is until her mom got remarried and moved to Indiana, and her grandfather losing his grip on reality more and more each day. Ivy wishes she had friends, anyone really, to unburden herself to, but she has no one. Viscous rumors about her have spread like wildfire throughout the community and she has no one to blame but herself.<br />
<br />
Zeb Brenneman is shocked to find himself back home. He has no idea why he felt the need to come back, but he did and he's starting to think maybe it was a mistake. It's easy to fool yourself into thinking you're over someone when you don't see them everyday but when you're back home and she is the first person you see, well things are bound to get complicated. He didn't want to go to Pincraft, FL not really but Ivy told him to go and he figured a clean break would give them both a second chance. When he gets home and finds out not only about the rumors flying around about Ivy, but also that she's left caring for her ailing grandfather, Zeb feels a little guilt and quite a bit of protectiveness. Now if he could only get Ivy to see that he wants to help maybe they can be friends and heal both their hearts.<br />
<br />
A Wells Landing Christmas isn't your typical romantic read. Zeb and Ivy have some major baggage and while it takes a bit for what that exact baggage is you can feel her turmoil and grief. She struggles with trying to be an adult, work and take care of her grandfather. We all know how lonely it can be when you have no one to talk to. She worries that if her secret, that her grandfather isn't quite himself, gets out her mom will force them to move to Indiana. It's not what either she nor her grandfather, Yonnie want. She's determined to make the best of a rough situation.<br />
<br />
Zeb had no idea his leaving would cause Ivy so much pain. In typical man fashion, he assumed she was thinking just like he was and him going away would make things easier on and for the both of them. Once he comes home however, he realizes everything he thought he knew was wrong. For one, he still loves Ivy, probably always has. His leaving sent her into a tail spin and he feels a like he has to fix it somehow. But how when Ivy won't look at him let alone talk to him.<br />
<br />
Once you start A Wells Landing Christmas you won't be able to put it down. It is well written and the characters take on a life of their own. It's guaranteed to put you in the Christmas spirit and make you believe in faith, hope, and love. The only downside is it makes you want Christmas cookies and it's October!!<br />

<br />
If you're looking for the perfect Bible for the young child in your life look no further than the Spirit of God Illustrated Bible. I have seen many a bible geared towards young children but this one is by far my favorite.<br />
<br />
First of all, the cover is absolutely gorgeous! The blues and greens are serene and I love that they have Jesus standing in the middle of the storm. It's a very visual reminder that He is ever present in our lives even in the storms.<br />
<br />
The bible has over 40 illustrated stories. The illustrations are bright an eye catching and the stories are couple of pages long. Each story tells which scripture it is based on so you can look it up and expand on it if you wish.<br />
<br />
This Bible would be perfect for morning or evening devotions or anytime really! It's a perfect tool for teaching young people about the Spirit of God and how it helps us in our lives. I think my favorite part though is at the very end of the Bible. It's the last page of The Spirit of Today story and I love it so much I want to put it on my wall as a reminder of Who God is and how much He loves us.<br />

Every now and then at the book corner I get the opportunity to review something other than books. When the opportunity arose to review Tori Kelly's new CD Hiding Place I jumped at the chance. The only thing I love more than books is music and I love discovering new artist and trying something new.<br />
<br />
Until now, I have never heard of Tori Kelly or listened to any of her music. I have to say, I have been missing out. Each song on Hiding Place is beautifully written and the lyrics will resonate with you in such a personal way. I thought I could pick a favorite, you know that one song that just hits you but honestly I like them all and that's very rare! It's definitely a CD you will listen to over and over again. Even my teenage sons were like "Mom! Can I borrow that?"<br />
<br />
The cover is simple yet beautiful. I love how there's no color yet it grabs you. It's just a beautiful work of art and I'm honored to have had the opportunity to review it.<br />

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">The struggle is real, friends. It may not be major stuff. Lives are not on the line here. But it makes us feel awful . . . and then we feel guilty for stressing when other people have “real” problems that are so much more serious.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Yet the fact remains: We live in a world that often feels harder than we think it should be. And so it can be easy to believe the stories we tell ourselves—that we’re doing it wrong, that we’ll be stuck in this place forever, that God doesn’t love us. We struggle to practice gratitude, to make godly choices, and to live our daily lives with confidence and contentment. So what can we do?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Nicole Unice</span> is a Bible teacher, author, and passionate communicator who delights in </span></div>
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">bringing God’s Word to life in a personal and relevant way. Her training as a counselor informs her work, as she emphasizes the importance of facing our own reality and embracing the transforming power of God’s grace.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Nicole’s invitations to speak have taken her across the world, and her books come to life through her popular video curriculum series found on RightNow Media. Her first book, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">She’s Got Issues</em>, released in May 2012 and speaks to a fundamental question of faith: Is being a Christian supposed to change me?

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; box-sizing: inherit;">Guest Post from Nicole Unice</span></h1>
<div>
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">There’s a question we throw around that I bet means a whole lot more than we would expect. How many times a week—or a day!–are you asked:</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">“<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">How are you?”</em></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I don’t know about you, but the answer I hear and give the most is something like …. ”fine”, or —“busy but good!”? It’s kind of the socially acceptable answer, right?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">A friend asked me this question just this week as I walked into work. I was multitasking as usual while knee deep into a cell phone conversation about yet another problem. I didn’t answer her, because if I did—if I really stopped and answered—I might have started crying, right there on the spot. My lips formed the word “fine” when in reality, I was anything but—at least not in that moment. And life doesn’t always stop long enough to give a real answer….</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">But isn’t “fine” the socially accepted answer because it works….or does it?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">The reality is, we are all struggling, to different degrees and complexity levels, each and every day. The Struggle IS Real, and when you add up both the little and big daily struggles, it’s easy to understand why this hashtag social media rockstar exists—over 3 million deep at #thestruggleisreal.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">But if we dig a little deeper into this common complaint, we might discover a much more sinister root—and real help toward freedom and wisdom in Christ.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">In my newest book, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Struggle is Real</em>, that’s what I’ve done. I address issues like:</span></div>

<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Life is much harder than I thought it would be, and I feel bad saying it.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">There are some things about myself that I can’t change…it’s just how I am, and it frustrates me.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I really don’t know if God is interested in my life, and even if He is, I don’t know how to hear from Him.</span></li>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">I wrote this book because I know how real the struggle truly is—and I want us to discover the true source of the answer to these age-old problems. My hope is to take my readers through a journey into this gap between our “just fine” lives and the truly good lives we are seeking and are hungry for. To offer hope that we can live the best life we can, this side of heaven.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Yep, the struggle is definitely real. But the struggle can also start the story. It can motivate us to rewrite our lives into a new story. The struggles can lead us to a new source of hope and freedom, and somehow, even the worst of life can become a place of strength and growth. The struggle is real. And the struggle can be good.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; font-size: 16px;">Everyone loves Toby Gibson. A co-owner of Undiscovered Treasures, a unique shop of antiques, collectables and junk, Toby is friendly, generous to a fault, the director of the local plays in Appleton and supports his church’s youth functions. But the minute his sister, Caroline and her new husband, take off for their honeymoon, a “ghost” begins to haunt the shop—or maybe it’s just an intruder. If so, Toby has no idea for what he is looking. To add to his troubles, he suspects Amy, not only is bidding for the property he’s wanted forever, but is in love with him. And he’s not interested</span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Amy Sanderson who owns the only flower shop in Appleton—Bloomin’ Life—is drawn into capturing Toby’s “ghost” when her own business is damaged by a destructive intruder. Having loved Toby from childhood, she’s more than willing to join forces with him. But she has no interest in being his best friend or like a sister to him. And if she has to resort to schemes of outbidding him at his frequent auction attendences to get his attention, then so be it. She can be just as stubborn as the man who’s determined to ignore her love.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
I knew when I wrote this book who Toby was. But capturing Toby’s personality and presenting it in the right way, was a challenge for me. Readers can see his teasing, fun-loving character when he labels the person who’s breaking into his shop as a ghost. But Toby is also serious, smart and successful. The side of him who has had plenty of girl friends, but who’s never gotten serious with any of them, is prominent too. But I didn’t want him to seem frivolous and uncaring, because he isn’t that. With a focus on his interests, love has never—as of yet—been a primary concern, so when Amy Sanderson strolls into his life, she turns out to be his confidant in the time of his troubles. The question is: can she not only have a place in his life as a best friend, but also capture his heart?</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Who doesn’t love a place filled with valuable items, interesting history, and hard-to-find items? Undiscovered Treasures—a shop of antiques, collectibles and junk—could be described as the town gathering place. Everyone loves browsing there. Deciding on such a place for the business of brother and sister, Toby and Caroline Gibson, was a fun choice. From grandfather clocks to unique shaped vases, it’s a shop where treasure hunters could just find what they’re looking for.</div>

There are way too many new people visiting Appleton, West Virginia, so how is someone like Toby suppose to guess <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">what</em> the thief is after? The thief definitely knows <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">what</em> he’s looking for, just not <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">where</em>. He’s tall, thin and a fast runner, especially when escaping across a rooftop. But then, maybe it’s not a new person in town. Maybe the thief is Toby’s part time help, who has a mystery all of his own. It makes things interesting, and a bit terrifying for everyone.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">The Community Theater:</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
One of Toby’s loves is directing and overseeing the community theater. Caroline Gibson writes some of the plays, the actors are usually taken from the West Virginia area, and all proceeds go to charities. But when their main actors, of the current play, elope and leave the play desolate, someone has to step in to fill the gaps. Toby struggles with decisions he doesn’t want to make.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Love</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Toby is smart, funny, and a resourseful man. He’s also busy with his community theater activities and his business. Known as the one man in town who’s not interested, at the current time, in getting married, his reputation of loving and leaving is in danger of being wrecked by one small woman. Can she sabotage his well-laid plans and help him realize it’s now or never? Could it be the time when real love is captured by two people, even when one of them seems doomed to ignore what God’s put in their hearts?</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">I love creating characters. Developing them into real people with real desires, moods, troubles</span></div>
