The Clouds Roll Away Review
I love a book with a FBI agent as the lead character. After spending the fall in the FBI Citizen’s Academy here in Indiana, I feel better able to judge whether the author has done their research and crafted a character who has the authentic feel of an agent. With Raleigh Harmon, Sibella Giorello has done just that. Raleigh is …
Classic Hollywood Reviews: What’s Your Favorite
Holiday movies are a special breed. When we really like them, the holiday highlighted doens’t limit us to watching it at one time of year. It will reinforce our love for a season throughout the year. I’ve told you about a few of my favorites: It’s a Wonderful Life, White Christmas and Holiday Inn. Now it’s your turn. What are …
Secrets of Harmony Grove Review
Secrets of Harmony Grove is another great read by Mindy Starns Clark. Each book gets better — and this one doesn’t have the intense suspense pacing of Under the Cajun Moon. It is set in Amish country, but like another reviewer said isn’t an Amish book. Instead, the story focuses on Sienna and a murder that occurs at her B&B …
Classic Hollywood Reviews: It’s A Wonderful Life
Now you had to know with the holiday season I’d review It’s a Wonderful Life. It released in 1946 in the post-war days and in many ways was an effort for Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra to resurrect careers that stalled while they fought in various roles during World War II. The basic story is a classic. A man believes …
Review and Contest Information: Nightingale by Susan May Warren
This week, I’m delighted to introduce you to the latest book by my friend Susan May Warren. Susie is a talented author, and her skill shines in Nightingale. This is a richly layered story set at the end of World War Two in Wisconsin. Much like my Captive Dreams, it illuminates the often unknown story about the prisoners of war …
Lightkeeper’s Bride Review & Giveaway
I wondered how Colleen would top the Lightkeeper’s Daughter, but Lightkeeper’s Bride manages to do just that. The book is set in the fictional town of Mercy Falls, California, during the Gilded Age. The book opens with an overheard phone call and an abandoned one year old. Katie’s curiosity won’t allow her to not follow up on the disturbing phone …
Head in the Clouds Review: Very enjoyable romance laced with suspense
Head in the Clouds is the first book of Karen’s I’ve read, but it won’t be the last. What happens when a recovering romantic goes to work for a handsome ranch owner and her heart’s not the only thing in danger? A fun historical romp that has enough overtones of suspense to keep me reading. And the characters are wonderful! …
The Preacher’s Bride: a great historical novel & Giveaway
Today, I want to share a novel by debut author Jody Hedlund with you. I don’t know Jody well, other than bumping into her at ACFW conferences, but after reading this book, I can tell you she is one talented author. It doesn’t hurt that she’s another homeschooling mom. I have a feeling we’d be good friends if we lived …
Classic Hollywood Reviews: Snow White
1938 was a very good year for kid’s movies. It was the year that Walt Disney released his very first full length feature film cartoon. Who hasn’t seen Snow White at least once, read the Disney based version of the book at least once, or introduced their own children to the magic and wonder of the story about a princess …
