Very well made, seamless, acted so believingly real. Excellent messages, hope and love. Your heart will definitely be torn in two and it will also melt. If you've read other books written by Karen, you won't be surprised that it's so well written and carries such a deep message of love.

The Sound of Rain by Sarah Loudin Thomas


"Judd blew out a breath. This whole family left him feeling like he was skating across a frozen pond in his stocking feet."
Christian Historical 1954. Simple people, simply told, but as complicated as real life is. Judd, a coal miner in West Virginia has a life altering accident. He leaves for a new job at a timber company in Myrtle Beach, following a dream - his brother's. It's a whole new life for him. There he meets the boss's daughter, Larkin. She has a dream of helping people, more specifically Appalachia hill people, near where Judd was from. This is a beautifully told story, vividly real, where you thoroughly get to know the people and it's easy to see their surroundings. You want the very best for each of them. A story that certainly holds your interest until the very end.

The Artful Match by Jennifer Delamere

https://www.amazon.com/Artful-Match-London-Beginnings-Book-ebook/dp/B07F3CZ6YK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+artful+match&qid=1557000615&s=gateway&sr=8-1https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-artful-match-jennifer-delamere/1128873074?ean=9780764219221#/https://www.christianbook.com/the-artful-match-3/jennifer-delamere/9780764219221/pd/219221?event=ESRCGhttps://www.powells.com/book/-9780764219221https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40392209-the-artful-match?from_search=true

"Julia, with her supposedly clear-eyed view of the world, had learned that sometimes the "sensible" path wasn't the right one after all."

Victorian Christian Romance set in England 1881. Third in the series, this is about the third sister Cara. An accident while she was working as a governess makes her decide to go to London and rejoin her sisters, who she then learns happen to both be away.

"She'd seen many times at the orphanage that answers to prayers could come out of nowhere, and hardly ever in the expected way."

Instead she meets Lanford, second son of a Lord, who is a painter. Cara has painting talent, and joins him and his friends. The Earl himself comes into the picture when he pulls Lanford away, and Cara finds that she can positively influence their Ward, a 7 year old girl. Even though she's made a vow to never be a governess again. Which she isn't now - she is a guest. Sort of. Artfully intertwined story with interesting character situations that pull on your heartstrings. Great Christian messages.

"Why hadn't anyone told her, when forcing her to plod through dry tomes for school, that some books could actually be fun?"

Sarah's Orphans by Vannetta Chapman

A book unique yet universal. This is a story about a large and dysfunctional family. They have had  little help from their parents, and have learned how to take care of themselves and come together to survive – yet just barely. And yet they are able to add two more small children, alone and abandoned by their own dysfunctional parents. What is universal is that we all need love, and it becomes so very important in our lives. Even when we aren’t looking for it, and can’t possibly take on anything more in our lives, there is always room for love – and we are all made more whole by it.
We think that we are independent, but once you realize that you aren’t doing a thing yourself, that God is truly the one in control (and we let Him) things become so much easier. He lifts our burdens and provides.

Another important lesson to learn is that one strand can be weak, but when woven together with other strands we have a much stronger thread. The same can be said with love and relationships that God leads us to.

This is a wonderful story of love – of a family and its members as well as others in the community. Oh yes, and there’s romance here as well. An enriching and beautiful book you’ll be the better for having read.

From the Publisher:
These orphans may be on their own...but God hasn't abandoned them.

Sarah Yoder belongs to a Plain community in Oklahoma, but her days are far from simple. Her father suffers from bipolar disorder—until a tragic accident ends his life and the abuse he inflicted. Instead of stepping up to provide a better future, Sarah's mother packs her bags and leaves her six children behind.

Alone with her younger siblings, Sarah is exhausted but finally at peace. Then she nearly runs over a small Hispanic boy with her buggy...and somehow finds herself sheltering two more orphans.

Paul Byler moved to Cody's Creek to help his brother in a time of need. But now that Joseph has recovered from his heart attack, Paul's ready for a quiet place of his own. The only problem? His new property lands him next door to the orphaned Yoder family—and a calling from God he can't seem to ignore.

A story of extraordinary grace and love in the face of desperate need, Sarah's Orphans is the third standalone novel in the Plain and Simple Miracles collection by Vannetta Chapman.
