The Bobtails Meet The Preacher's Kid by Arthur Yeomans

 

Fabulous series. These are the kind of books that I want to read.
The kids are orphaned, and it's decided by their family that their strict widowed Aunt will take them in as she has a cheese farm and has the room and the work for them. Common sense, down to earth, and I loved it. I'm a fan of Grace Livingston Hill books, with the life lessons here it reminded me somewhat of her style of story. In this book there are lessons about everything you do on a dairy farm, and life lessons as they all work through this big change in their lives. Good Christian lessons throughout. Their Aunt believes in showing them what to do and expecting them to do it well and quickly. Even the smallest toddler was given a job. In addition, wonderful way to bring up the kids with nurturing routines like daily family reading and play time. Excellent for kids and adults alike. I can't speak highly enough of this series.

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

The Major's Daughter by Regina Jennings

Caroline is the Major's daughter, recently back at the fort after living in society for awhile. The government gave away land to a first come, first served group after the sound of a gunshot and a race to claim. Always independent, she intended to get a plot of land for herself, as women were allowed. But she hadn't ever done any of the hard work it takes to develop a piece of land or even fend for herself with out a servant. Frisco had been a crush of hers. A bit of a character at the fort, he had tried for years to enable settlers to get land there, and because of his efforts this was coming about. He even had his place all picked out, a town planned, crops planted and his things stored on a lot. All he had to do was get there before anyone else did. He never expected Caroline to claim his spot. An orphan who had several brushes with the law, he had become a lawyer. But he had always wanted a real home of his own, and this was a chance for his dream. Excellent place to spend your time and feel your heart strings. Christian Historical.

A Perfect Silhouette by Judith Miller

Sweet Christian Historical Romance. Mellie is from a well to do family whose reputation and finances suffered thanks to her brother in law. So that she could make more money, she gave up her job as a tutor to work in the mills to help support her sister and her family. While in school, she had learned a talent for Scherenschnitte, paper silhouette cutting. Since additional income was needed, she found a shop in town where she earned extra money doing Scherenschnitte.
Morgan is the mill owners son. Returning home from being away at school, he wants to learn ways to improve the mills and put his engineering degree to work. To be more efficient, he went to work there under an assumed name. This is an intricate story involving likable characters, and you'll find yourself rooting for them. Lessons of forgiveness and God's love throughout the story. As is typical for Judith Miller, this is well researched and she brings to life what it must have been like to work in the mills at that time. It was an important business for our country, but working conditions were terrible. Such a good story I didn't want it to end. I'm hoping for a sequel!

The Erie Canal Brides Collection

You can feel the surge of excitement around the building of the canal and the changes it brought to the area and the people.
The Erie Canal was dug, by hand, across Upstate New York state and Ohio in the early 1800s. It brought a lot of people together, in many ways, because of the way it was made and the communities it went through. These 7 stories are an interesting and diverse look at the people whose lives were impacted by it. I live close to part of the canal, so it makes it a little more personal to me. Of course my favorite one is about the Irishman who worked digging the canal, my second favorite about the German village, since my heritage is both Irish and German. All the stories include interesting historical information about this vast area and the early days of the canal. It's easy to become thoroughly engrossed in each story. They're written with great depth. You can easily envision the characters and feel as keenly as they do what they are going through. Never a boring moment! Each also has a message of deep Christian faith which I feel competes any story.
