Review-Nancy Mehl's Unbreakable

  About Unbreakable:

Gentle and unassuming, Hope Kauffman has never been one to question the traditions of her Mennonite upbringing. She quietly helps her father run Kingdom Quilts and has agreed to the betrothal he arranged for her with the devout but shy Ebbie Miller.
Despite the attempts of Hope and other Kingdom residents to maintain the status quo, changes have already begun to stir in the small Mennonite town. The handsome and charismatic Jonathon Wiese is the leader of the move to reform, while Ebbie insists Kingdom must remain true to its foundation. When Hope's safety is threatened by a mysterious outsider, she can't help but question what she's always been taught about the Mennonite tradition of nonviolence.
As it swiftly becomes apparent the threat Hope faced is only the beginning, the town that's always stood so strong finds itself divided. With tensions high and their lives endangered by an unknown enemy, will Hope and the people of Kingdom allow fear and division to break them or will they draw on the strength of the God they serve?

My Review:

 

This was a very suspenseful book.  I really enjoyed it.  Nancy Mehl is a very good author and does a very good job of keeping you on the edge of your seat.  Christians in the area are being targeted by someone and the Mennonite community of Kingdom thought they were safe, but trouble finds Hope Kauffman on her way home from a shopping trip in Washington.  Then one of Kingdom’s beloved citizens is killed in a buggy accident.  Hope is engaged to Ebbie Miller, an elder in the church who doesn’t believe that the community should retaliate.  But she also has feelings for Jonathan Wiese.  He does believe the community should protect themselves in anyway appropriate.  Which one will win Hope’s heart and will Kingdom survive the attacks.

I really wasn’t surprised as to who was behind the attacks on the community, I just wasn’t sure why.  This is a book in a series, but Nancy gives enough background that it isn’t necessary to read the books in order.  I’ll have to say though; I’m looking forward to the next in the Road to Kingdom series.  Great job Nancy.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my participation in this blog tour.

Review of Michael Baron's Leaves

Book Synopsis:Welcome to Oldham, CT, a small town rich in Colonial heritage while being utterly contemporary. Situated along the Connecticut River Valley, Oldham bursts with color every fall, as the leaves on its trees evolve into an unmatched palette of scarlet, orange, purple, yellow, and bronze. For more than three decades, the Gold family has been a central part of Oldham in the fall, its Sugar Maple Inn a destination for “leaf-peepers” from all over the country, and its annual Halloween party a stirring way to punctuate the town’s most active month.
But this year, more than just the leaves are changing. With the death of their parents, the Gold siblings, Maria, Maxwell, Deborah, Corrina, and Tyler, have decided to sell the Sugar Maple Inn, and this year’s Halloween party will be the last. As October begins, the Golds contend with the finality that faces them, and the implications it has for a family that has always been so close. For some, it means embracing new challenges and new love. For others, it means taking on unimagined roles. And for others, it means considering the inconceivable. Complicating it all is a series of “hauntings” that touch each of the Gold siblings, a series of benign interventions that will remain a mystery until October draws to a close.
Filled with romance, tension, and unforgettable family drama, LEAVES is the first in a series of novels about a world and a family that readers will want to make their own.

My Review

This book was very well written, very enthralling.  It is hard for me to describe how this book made me feel.  I thoroughly enjoyed and I’m very glad that it is the first in a series.  I feel like I know the Gold family on a personal level.  This book really explored the feelings of the Gold Family very well. 

The Gold family:  Maxwell, Maria, Deborah, Corrina, and Tyler recently lost their parents and have made the decision to sell their parents Inn.  The story focuses on each sibling and their relationships with each other and other people.  They each are going in different directions and drifting apart through the sale of the Inn.  Throughout the book, each sibling sees something that reminds them of an incident from the past, but them the image disappears.  They throw one last Halloween party at the Inn before the new owners take over.  During a picture, they all here their mother’s voice; telling them they will need each other in the future.

A great book that focuses on family and what sometimes happens with families that were once close.   This book leaves you with a sort of cliffhanger, leaving you definitely waiting for the next novel in the series to see what happens with the Gold family.  I can’t wait.  I highly recommend this book.  A very good job Michael Barron.

About the Author:I grew up in the New York area and I’ve lived there my entire life. I worked in retail and taught high school English before I got my first book contract. I have gotten several additional book contracts since then, which is fortunate because I didn’t have the patience to work in retail and, while I quite enjoyed teaching, my approach was a bit too unconventional for most school systems. One school administrator told me that, “there are more important things than being a dynamic teacher.” Since I couldn’t name any of those things (at least in the context of school), I figured I didn’t have a long-term future in the profession. Hence, I became a writer, where I believe people appreciate a certain level of dynamism.
Though I started with nonfiction, I have always loved fiction and I have always wanted to write it. Since I can remember, I've had a particular affection for love stories. In fact, the very first book-length thing I ever wrote, when I was thirteen, was a love story. Mind you, it was the kind of love story that a thirteen-year-old boy would write, but it was a love story nonetheless. I have a deep passion for writing about relationships – family relationships, working relationships, friendships, and, of course, romantic relationships – and I can only truly explore this by writing fiction. These novels have given me a way to voice the millions of things running through my head.
My wife and kids are the center of my life. My wife is the inspiration for all of my love stories and my children enthrall me, challenge me, and keep me moving (and have served as the inspiration for several of the kids I've written about). One of the primary reasons I wrote my first novel, WHEN YOU WENT AWAY was that I wanted to write about being a father. Aside from my family, I have a few other burning passions. I’m a pop culture junkie with an especially strong interest in music, I love fine food (as well as any restaurant shaped like a hot dog), and I read far too many sports blogs for my own good.

Review of An Amish Kitchen

   
The Amish Kitchen is the Heart of the Home – and the Ideal Setting for Stories of Love and Hope.

Fall in Paradise, Pennsylvania, always brings a brisk change in the weather. This season also ushers in unexpected visitors, new love, and renewed hope for three women.

Fern has a green thumb for growing healing herbs, but longs for love to bloom in her life. Then the next-door neighbor’s oldest son, Abram, comes running into Fern’s kitchen seeking help for his little sister. The crisis soon leads to a promise of romance—until mistrust threatens to end the growing attraction.

Nearby, Hannah runs her parents’ bed and breakfast, Paradise Inn—but her life feels nothing like Paradise. She longs for a man of integrity to enter her life, but never expected him to knock on the front door looking for a room. Will she be able trust Stephen with her future once she discovers his mysterious past?

When a storm blows a tree onto Eve’s farmhouse, she has little choice but to temporarily move her family into her parents’ home. Outside of cooking together in the kitchen, Eve and her mother can’t agree on anything. But this may be just the recipe for hope in healing old wounds.

Three Amish stories—each celebrating love, family, and faith—all taking place in a tight-knit community where the kitchen truly is the heart of the home.

Also Includes Reading Group Guide and 45 Old Order Amish Recipes.

My Review:

I really enjoyed this book.  It was a book three novellas by three great Amish Authors, Kelly Long, Amy Clipston, and Beth Wiseman.  I like all three stories, they didn’t really intertwine, but there was mention of characters from the other stories in each story. 

The first story is  A Taste of Faith by Kelly Long.  This is the story of Fern Zook.  She lives with her grandmother, who uses herbs to help people with ailments, and she taught Fern all she knew.  In this story, Fern has several run ins with her neighbor, Abram Fisher.  Fern thinks no man will ever love her, will Abram change her mind. 

The second story A Spoonful of Love  of Hannah King who runs her parents bed-and-breakfast since her father suffered a stroke.  An Amish man from Ohio, Stephen Esh, comes to stay and the bed-and-breakfast and Hannah’s brother hires him to be the handy man at the bed-and-breakfast.  Hannah’s mother is very critical of her and always fusses to her a lot about her and Stephen both staying at the bed-and-breakfast.  What is Stephen hiding and what are Hannah’s feelings for him.

The third story, A recipe for Hope and my favorite, was Eve Bender.  Her and her family’s home is partially destroyed by a falling tree, so they go and stay with Eve’s mother and father for a while.  Eve was never close to her mother, and her mother has medical issues that she is hiding from Eve.  Also, Eve’s twin 16 year old sons are having a drama of their own.  I liked this story because it had a lot of humor in it, too.

All three stories told the importance of trusting GOD, and that he always comes through, no matter what.  All three stories also mostly center around something to do with the kitchen.  I thought it was a charming read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review.

ISBN:  978-1-4143-6680-7

Trim Size:  5 1/2 x 8 1/4

Binding:  Softcover

Release:  February 2013

Dorothy Lynn Dunbar has everything she ever wanted: her family, her church, her community, and a budding romance with the young pastor who took over her late father's pulpit. Time spent in the woods, lifting her heart and voice in worship accompanied by her brother's old guitar, makes her life complete . . . and yet she longs for something more.

Spending a few days in St. Louis with her sister's family, Dorothy Lynn discovers a whole new way of life-movies, music, dancing; daring fashions and fancy cars. And a dynamic charismatic evangelist . . . who just happens to be a woman. When Dorothy Lynn is offered a chance to join Aimee Semple McPherson's crusade team, she finds herself confronted with temptations she never dreamed of. Can Dorothy Lynn embrace all the Roaring Twenties has to offer without losing herself in the process?

My Review:

 

This was a mesmerizing book that kept me enthralled from start to finish.  I love reading about this era of history, it is still a time of innocence, but also of an awakening.  This book hit that on the mark.  It was an emotional journey to say the least.  I learned a lot from reading this book, like to follow your heart and that your heart will usually lead you home.

 

Dorothy Lynn Dunbar lives in the small town of Heron’s Nest.  She is the daughter of a preacher.  When her father becomes ill, a new preacher comes to take over for him.  Brent and Dorothy fall in love with each other and decide to marry.  Dorothy goes to St. Louis to her sister to have her make her wedding gown.  While there, Dorothy experiences the lure of the big city.  She discovers a church service and becomes acquainted with a man who will change her life.  He hears her sing and play guitar and asks her to become part of the church service. Dorothy figures out that he can take her to California, where her brother, who never came home from WWI, is living.  While there, she is drawn into some things that she normally wouldn’t do, but she does find her brother.  Will she decide to go home to her fiancé’, or will the lure of fame be too much for her.  This story is told from two different perspectives of Dorothy; the young Dorothy in the Roaring Twenties and the 107 year old Dorothy in a nursing home.  She also ends up meeting some long lost family right before the end. 

 

I say great job with this book Allison Pittman.  It was a great journey to take with you.

Allison Pittman Author Q & A

All for a Song




1. What was your inspiration for this book,
All for a Song?

There were so many different pieces that came together with this book; it’s hard to name just one. First, I was introduced to, and then became fascinated with Aimee Semple McPherson, and while I wasn’t ready to take on her story, I knew I wanted to create my own characters to somehow come into her sphere. She was a woman who embraced both ministry and fame, and I wanted to create a character who had that same opportunity. With that, I am so inspired by the decade of the 1920’s—such sweeping social changes, shifts in moral centering, an explosion of choices and opportunities for women. It was a time to test one’s faith—to go against the new norms in pursuit of righteousness. Such a challenge!

2. Tell me about your main character Dorothy Lynn. Was her character based upon anyone in particular?

The young Dorothy Lynn, no, not really—not beyond any other singer/songwriter out there. She’s a young woman with a message and a voice, so maybe she’s a mash-up of every musician I know. The older Dorothy Lynn, Miss Lynnie, is somewhat based on the mother of a friend of mine. His mother went to be with the Lord while I was in the final stages of writing this novel, and at her funeral, I learned that she had a stroke years before her passing, during which she had a glimpse of Heaven, and had spent her intervening years longing to return. I remember going home from that celebration of her life and re-writing just about every
Breath of Angels scene, incorporating that into Dorothy Lynn’s story. It was exactly what the story needed, and brought about a depth I couldn’t have imagined in the initial draft.

3. What lessons or truths will your readers find in the pages of this novel?

I hope that they learn that it’s good to take a chance, to take hold of opportunities that come your way, even if it doesn’t always make sense to do so. Yes, there are times that require periods of prayer and reflection and guidance-seeking, but then there are times when you have to hop on the next train and trust that God has the details well in hand. Along with that, I’d want them to know that while there is breath, there is opportunity for grace and forgiveness, but we might need to humble ourselves. There’s a theme of a longing for home, no matter how enticing the alternative seems.
4. Although this novel is set in the 1920s, how does Dorothy Lynn’s story still resonate today?
The world today wants nothing more than to entice young women to exploit themselves in some way, and the enemy wants nothing more than to make us think that we are beyond redemption. We all make stupid, thoughtless, reckless decisions; we all get ourselves into such unbelievably embarrassing messes; we all disappoint our loved ones. The world tells you to move on; God tells you to go back.
5. As a writer, what did you particularly enjoy about crafting this story?
Oh, my goodness. As a historical writer, I loved the time period—that sort of new, innocent fumbling with innovations of the time. One of my favorite scenes was when the 107-year-old Dorothy Lynn experiences her first iPad. (By the way, I had to make her that old in order to make all the history "fit." I spent every day for a month watching the Willard Scott segment on the Today show making sure that her age would be believable. Wouldn’t you know? Every week there’s somebody that tops the 105th birthday!)
6. What is your hope for this story? How would you like it to impact readers?
I would love it if this book would prompt a reader to reach out to somebody they feel they have lost. Reconciliation is hard—whether you’re the perpetrator or the victim of whatever "wrong" that happened. But life is short, even if you’re going to get more than a century of living, at some time that final day will come. Close those gaps in your life. Offer and ask for forgiveness. Leave a legacy of grace.
7. How has this novel helped you to grow as a storyteller?
My tendency (a very purposeful one) is to leave my stories with a bit of an "unfinished" edge. I like my characters to leave the page on the cusp of fulfillment, so that my readers can have the pleasure of imagining those final, satisfying moments. A good friend (and, coincidentally a fan) of mine said, "I love your books. I hate your endings. I’m just going to have to accept that this is what an Allison Pittman story does." So—how fun was this to write the most definitive ending, ever! To open a story on the last day of a character’s life—so totally new for me.
8. What is the best advice or encouragement that you have received?
It goes back to a conversation I had with James Scott Bell back when I’d written approximately 7 chapters of what would become my first novel, Ten Thousand Charms. The whole conversation is chronicled in Chapter 16 of his fabulous book The Art of War for Writers. (I’m the "young woman" – which I was, at the time, sort of…) Anyway, I was frustrated and discouraged, and he explained to me that this writing thing was like a pyramid. At its base, you have everybody who ever thinks they maybe might want to try to start writing a book someday. At the top is Max Lucado. The rest of us are somewhere in-between. "Your job…is to keep moving up the pyramid. Each level presents its own challenges, so concentrate on the ones right in front of you." I love and welcome every new challenge.

Review-Cindy Blackburn's Cue Ball Mysteries #1-Playing with Poison

       Pool shark Jessie Hewitt usually knows where the balls will fall and how the game will end. But when a body lands on her couch, and the cute cop in her kitchen accuses her of murder, even Jessie isn't sure what will happen next.

Playing With Poison is a cozy mystery with a lot of humor, a little romance, and far too much champagne.

My Review:

This was a great mystery. I just love Jessica Hewitt, she is the bomb. She definitely has it all together. Well, maybe she does drink a little too much champagne, I mean, whose drink of choice is usually champagne. But oh well, she is still great, and she got the job done. This book is also filled with other great, funny, eccentric characters that Cindy makes you feel like you know personally. And if you like animals, there is also a great kitty cat in this book.

Her neighbor, Candy Poppe's, fiancé' knocks on Jessica's door one night and she lets him and he makes it to the couch, and then proceeds to die. What should Jessica do? First she is a suspect. Then, Candy is the main suspect and is arrested. What ensues is a hilarious and somewhat scary, at the end, journey. I was kept guessing throughout the story, which is what I love about a good cozy mystery.

I'm so glad to be included in this book tour for Cindy, she has immense talent and I can't wait to read the rest of the Cue Ball Mysteries. I received this book for my participation in this blog tour.

Author Bio

Cindy Blackburn has a confession to make–she does not play pool. It’s that whole eye-hand coordination thing. What Cindy does do well is school. So when she’s not writing silly stories she’s teaching serious history. European history is her favorite subject, and the ancient stuff is best of all. The deader the better! A native Vermonter who hates cold weather, Cindy divides her time between the south and the north. During the school year you’ll find her in South Carolina, but come summer she’ll be on the porch of her lakeside shack in Vermont. Cindy has a fat cat named Betty and a cute husband named John. Betty the muse meows constantly while Cindy tries to type. John provides the technical support. Both are extremely lovable.

When Cindy isn’t writing, grading papers, or feeding the cat, she likes to take long walks or paddle her kayak around the lake. Her favorite travel destinations are all in Europe, her favorite TV show is NCIS, her favorite movie is Moonstruck, her favorite color is orange, and her favorite authors (if she must choose) are Joan Hess and Spencer Quinn. Cindy dislikes vacuuming, traffic, and lima beans.

Review-Colleen Coble's Safe In His Arms

  

Sometimes it takes a stranger to see you as you really are.

Under Texas Stars, Book 2
Born and raised on sprawling Texas land, Margaret O'Brien prides herself on her competence as a rancher. But her father believes she's made for more than just dawn-to-dusk work. He wants her to have the love of a good man, to raise children, to build a life. But Margaret gave up such dreams years ago. She's convinced no man would have her, that the ranch is her life now.

So when Margaret's father hires Daniel Cutler as a new foreman, she's frustrated and suspicious. Then an overheard conversation links him with a gang of bank robbers, and she's downright worried. Daniel swears he's not involved, but Margaret's not convinced. She knows the man still has secrets. But would a criminal be so kind and talk so convincingly of his faith? As a series of tragic "accidents" threatens all she holds dear, Margaret must decide what to trust: her own ears, her best judgment . . . or what her heart keeps telling her.

 

My Review:

 

As always, Colleen Coble delivers a great story with a great message.  As with all of her books, GOD is always at the center. 

Margaret O'Brien has always helped her father with his ranch and assumed it would be hers one day.  He wants her to be more feminine and ladylike, so he hires a foreman, Daniel Cutler.  But Daniel is not what he seems and Margaret is very suspicious of him.  Meanwhile, her father also sends for her cousin, Lewis.  He ends up deciding to leave the ranch to Lewis, therefore hoping that Margaret would find a husband.  The rest of the story is so action packed, it left my head spinning.  Margaret finally finds out who Daniel really is, finally realizes she need to fully trust GOD and that GOD really does love her unconditionally.  After this everything falls into place. 

I highly recommend this book, it was wonderful.  Great job Colleen.
