Sean (Garfield, The Next Generation Book 1) by Sharon Srock

 


Sharon is a truly gifted author who excels at bringing characters to life. It's easy to picture Sean and Monica and to understand the struggles they are going through. It's satisfying to listen to conversations with God and understand the problems underlying as well as be part of two special people coming together. Excellent read, as always.

I received this book free from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

The Midwife: Salem Village - Book 2 by Pegg Thomas

 

Taking place during the early Salem Witch trials, this is a very tense story.  The characters realistically bring to life what it would have been like to have lived in that area at that time. To live under the pressure of constant accusations going on around you - people whom you know are completely innocent. And knowing the power it gives to those in the village who crave it. There is also the fact that both Quaker and Puritan families lived in this village, and they were wary of each other, yet many tried to get along and share their trades. A blossoming love story carries on the difficulties between them all when a Quaker girl and Puritan boy fall in love and when a midwife to all residents is caught up in her own dilemmas. Plenty to keep you engaged to the very end, and wanting a next one to see how it all pans out for everyone.

At Morning's Light (Home to Green Creek, Book #2) by Lauraine Snelling , Kiersti Giron

 



I treasure every word of these stories. The love, the grief, the struggles, daily life and Christian lessons. Blending families in the community, neighboring farms and at the boarding house. Loveable characters that feel like family and friends.

From the back cover:

In her new homeland of Iowa, she must risk heartbreak and uncertainty for her dreams to flourish.

Maya Bredesen and her husband plan to journey from Norway to a new life at her cousin's boardinghouse in America, but on one last fateful fishing trip, a fierce winter storm steals away her husband. With her dreams for the future crushed, Maya is left grieving on the voyage to Iowa, accompanied instead by her brother, who plans to finish his seminary degree.

Arriving at a boardinghouse spilling over with orphans and a newly married couple, Maya struggles to find her place amid the chaos. A new friendship develops between her and Eben Miller, the reserved, kind farmer next door, but just as Maya begins to recover from her wounded heart, more tragedy engulfs her. As she and Eben weather trials together, can they overcome the difficulties this new land holds when it seems so far from becoming home?
