Sage: Crafted With Love book 5 by Sharon Srock

 


Present times. The story centers on pro-life, what it does to people who don't see a pregnancy through, different situations in life that are so difficult to go through. This is so well written that it's excruciating to go through with her the feelings that Sage has and her life. The saving grace is our faith that sees us through the storms. A story that should be shared! 

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.

Quotes 
Was it possible that God had the perfect plan for her future before she had even known what she needed herself?

Hannah’s family was from the English aristocracy. His were about as far removed from that level of society as it was possible to be.

Wagon Train Wife by Catherine Kennedy

 



She will do anything to ensure her sister's safety… even marry a man she barely knows.

Good read. I love wagon train stories, the trip, the starting over. The reason Eliza, Hannah and Thomas left is enough to get hooked. The path they take and people they meet on the way are quite interesting and endearing. Has some interesting twists.

Quotes:
“I believe God put us in each other’s paths. He knew before we did we needed each other.”

"As Thomas had stated earlier, this was supposed to be a happy day. There would be time later to mourn what she had given up securing her sister’s safety."

Beauty from ashes.
1847 Whitman Mission
Abhorrent
Indians attacked and killed the males, raped and kidnapped the women, holding them hostage for a month. Two and a half years later, they are being brought to trial – and Hope is one of their key witnesses. She is constantly having to come to terms with her life afterwards, finding it a difficult thing to get over. Having to go through the trial brings it all back to life again. And brings back the memory of the secret she keeps. Tracie Peterson works her magic as few other do, presenting the facts and bringing to life the feelings of those who were involved.

Oh, I LIKE this book!

Keturah is the eldest daughter. She’s been widowed by a man who had seemed like a wonderful match, but like many abusive men, he turned on her after they were married. This left her with a promise to herself that she would never let another man control her or her sisters. Their father dies and leaves his estates in poor financial condition. The main income comes from their estate in the West Indies, so she decides to go there and bring the sugar plantation back to good condition. Her sisters are as plucky as she is and decide to go with her. Even though they’ve been warned, they go against society’s rules and find some shocking realities. A place of tropical beauty, it is male dominated and cruelty to slaves – and anyone who doesn’t act as they wish – is common. But Keturah and her sisters intend to do things their own way and bring their plantation back to life. Gray is an old family friend and flirted with everyone except Keturah when they were coming of age. His rejection then and way of life afterwards repels her, so she finds it difficult to believe that he’s changed. He is depending on turning his family’s plantation around as well, and finds that trying new things might bring him success.

Publisher's Description
In 1772 England, Lady Keturah Banning Tomlinson and her sisters find themselves the heiresses of their father's estates and know they have one option: Go to the West Indies to save what is left of their heritage.
Although it flies against all the conventions for women of the time, they're determined to make their own way in the world. But once they arrive in the Caribbean, proper gender roles are the least of their concerns. On the infamous island of Nevis, the sisters discover the legacy of the legendary sugar barons has vastly declined--and that's just the start of what their eyes are opened to in this unfamiliar world.
Keturah never intends to put herself at the mercy of a man again, but every man on the island seems to be trying to win her hand and, with it, the ownership of her plantation. She could desperately use an ally, but even an unexpected reunion with a childhood friend leaves her questioning his motives.
Set on keeping her family together and saving her father's plantation, can Keturah ever surrender her stubbornness and guarded heart to God and find the healing and love awaiting her?
