Whatever It Takes: A Split-Time Sisters in Arms by Sarah Hanks

 

A dual time frame story with two sets of sisters who are going through very tough times, centering around families. Believably told, you feel like you get to know them and at times wish you could talk to them. One set is in present time, the other during the Civil War. Henrietta signs up to fight in the Civil War disguised as a man because they paid a good wage to men, not women, and she had to support her sisters. Very interesting points of view for each timeline situation and lots to learn about. Great read where you really just have to know how things will end.

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.

Out of the Ashes by Tracie Peterson; Kimberley Woodhouse

We all seem to know, or know of someone, who has been through a time of hardship and/or sorrow who thinks there could not be a caring God to have let these things happen. What then needs to be learned is that He is there, a caring Father, to see us through it and trust in Him for all of our care. We have to learn that yes we are unworthy, but Jesus took our place and died for us. And that we need to be glad of that and allow ourselves to be set free. To reach out and know that the love is there for us to take. In this story there are two young people who were forced to part, each have their own hardship, but then later come back together. Learning to cope and trust doesn't come easy, but in this place they are guided and taught, letting each love again.
