Great story.

Lost In Snowy Valley by Heather Trim

Not just for Christmas! Heather is really a master at transporting you to a different place like a dream. Such detail! And of course there are healing, faith filled lessons to be learned. Sometimes when you receive bad news, something hard to deal with, you need some time and perspective. Aimed at young adults but lovely for old adults too. Another hit! I highly recommend it, would make an excellent gift.

The Blind - movie

Well told, acted, filmed true story about Phil and Kay Robertson. Very real. Whether you're a fan of their tv series already or don't know anything about them, it's a great story of hope, redemption and forgiveness. None of us are perfect. Sometimes we need to hit rock bottom to be saved. His brother gave up on him, but his sister and wife didn't and brought a pastor to him. Beautiful story of his breakthrough and the change it made for his family. Very moving and inspirational, a movie you won't want to miss.

The Blind is a powerful true story that showcases God’s redemptive power to change our lives when we surrender to Him!

Synopsis: Long before Phil Robertson was a reality TV star, he fell in love, started a

family, and began to spiral out of control. THE BLIND shares never-before-revealed

moments in Phil’s life as he seeks to conquer the shame of his past, ultimately finding redemption in an unlikely place.

The Legacy of Longdale Manor by Carrie Turansky

I liked the way the author worded it: "comfort and wisdom can be passed on to those the Lord brings into our lives, and fatherhood, forgiveness, and holding on to your faith through painful times are lessons throughout this great story." Nicely transitions through the timeslips between great-great grandmother and daughter. They have a lot in common. Both of their journeys are heartfelt and touching. Great read!

Madame Pommery by Rebecca Rosenberg

1858 France. Delicious. Heart wrenching during the war. Victorious afterward. Beautiful story about a strong, smart woman who followed her instincts in creating a new business when told she would fail, was betrayed and brow beaten, while caring for and nurturing an entire town with dignity and grace. And she changed champagne forever. Bravo! Hard to put down. (Mildly risqué.)

There is another coming in the series!

“This effervescent historical novel paints a richly detailed portrait of the enterprising Veuve Clicquot. The twinned plots of Clicquot and Napoleon Bonaparte’s rise and fall are filled with detail that give life to this far-off time. The prose is light, yet detailed, and peppered with moments of wry humor. Napoleon's characterization is well-crafted and give his character new life. Clicquot’s character is charming, and readers will love getting to know her. Rosenberg has a superb eye for blending humor with drama.” ~Publisher’s Weekly BookLife Prize

From triple-gold award-winning author, Rebecca Rosenberg: Champagne, France, 1800. Twenty-year-old Barbe-Nicole inherited Le Nez (an uncanny sense of smell) from her great-grandfather, a renowned champagne maker. She is determined to use Le Nez to make great champagne, but the Napoleon Code prohibits women from owning a business. When she learns her childhood sweetheart, François Clicquot, wants to start a winery, she marries him despite his mental illness.

Soon, her husband’s tragic death forces her to become Veuve (Widow) Clicquot and grapple with a domineering partner, the complexities of making champagne, and six Napoleon wars, which cripple her ability to sell champagne. When she falls in love with her sales manager, Louis Bohne, who asks her to marry, she must choose between losing her winery to her husband, as dictated by Napoleon Code, or losing Louis.

In the ultimate showdown, Veuve Clicquot defies Napoleon himself, risking prison and even death.

A Beautiful Disguise by Roseanna M. White

I don't very often have something to take away from a book no matter how entertaining, but this time I was moved, touched by the dialog, especially faith lessons from a missionary. Amazingly entertaining and unexpected mystery, romance and introduction to wonderful characters who will be in a series... one I'm very much looking forward to continuing to read. Very realistic, quite detailed so very easy to see the settings. Not a formula romance story. I loved it!
