The Matchmaker's Lonely Heart by Nancy Campbell Allen

 

This was not what I expected. It's a murder mystery that's up there with the rest. Told with a great sense of humor. It is a bit of a page turner. We take working women for granted these days. In this time it was not common at all, and was socially frowned upon by the upper class. Great story, well told and engaging.

The Secret Keepers of Old Depot Grocery by Amanda Cox

 

One wrong decision...for Sarah, her mother and her Grandmother. And the secrets they all kept. The Old Depot Grocery is a way of life for each of them as they grow up. The story time slips from the Vietnam war era to present day and through the years between, revealing what each of the women are holding in their hearts and minds. Interesting the way it unfolds. Full of heartache and misunderstanding, but also love. A messy sort of family. Sarah, widowed, has come back to her family and the store, trying to hold on to what is good. The store is failing though. And there are lots of layers to the relationships there. Good read.

The Healing of Natalie Curtis by Jane Kirkpatrick

 

Another gem from Jane Kirkpatrick. She always gives us a story that teaches life lessons, a look at life and shows us depth of human character. This one includes life and beauty, taking something broken, mixing it with new clay, and making a new thing that is much stronger for the experience. Natalie Curtis was a real person, this is based on her life and fictionalized. She traveled the West with her brother and created a book of Native American songs and art, shining light on the people and their ways, the Code that restricted their lives. Through this she brought a change for them, even through President Roosevelt. There is so much wisdom within, both from the Native Americans she spent time with and from Jane herself. A worthwhile and enriching journey to read.
