A Little Different

 



 

This book is a little different. It made me think that there is darkness lurking around you even when you may not see it. that we can get caught up in the darkness if we are not careful. that we can even begin to believe that what we thought to be truth gets distorted by others around us. But thankfully in the book there is a light that reminds us that the true faith and true light will always overide darkeness. The characters are mysterious but love wins out and fights against the darkness that is trying to shroud them. The witchcraft element is apparent in the book and makes me wonder how many people we are surrounded by that may have ill intentions and may use their craft to bring up spirits against us. The witch was very sneaky and even appeared to be on the widow's side at times and even seemed sincere in her helpfulness. The widow is faced with finding out if the spirit that is dwelling the in home is that of her belated husband or that of another dark entity. Only faith and truth can help her decided but she is fighting to find that too. it is an interesting read but not sure i would have bought it if presented at the store.

Where The Lilacs Still Bloom is Intriguing

Jane Kilpatrick is a wonderful writer of historical life. Hulda Klager was a self taught Horticulturalist. Where the lilacs still bloom is her story. The story is one of sorrow and triumph and determination to keep fighting the elements to make something beautiful happen. Hulda Klager was a woman that had a perservering spirit and didn't easily give up. Through years of love for her family and love for flowers, she brought hope to many peoples lives. Jane Kilpatrick has told this story with great determination to give all the emotion and the heart of Hulda Klager. It is an interesting read.

Sounds Great

 

The Story is about a family and an old house. It is a story of pain, and living in the past, but somewhere there is a future for the family and the house. but can they find it. The book A sound among the trees is a good read. It uses the past to to help a family break the curses and start again. But the curse is really within and not the past. Reality comes in and helps the characters, learn about themselves and they begin to beleive they deserve more than what the past has led them to beleive.

The Crossing A healing read!

I recently read the book The Crossing. The story focuses on a tragedy that happens in a town and follows the characters for ten years. With the nightmare of a killing and never being solved, the thought is always in the mind of the characters, could i have done more, Then the case is reopened and what is meant to bring closure and healing may not be the ticket they need for ride to that peaceful place that is called healing. I found the Author to keep me interested with the mystery of the unsolved murder, but also gives a glimpse of what it must be like to live with the hurt and maybe guilt of what was done. I find that i wish some of the characters had different endings but alas some things have to be. I enjoyed yet ws saddened by parts of the book, but would definitely recommend if to my freinds.

    The Chrsimas Singing is a lovely story.

The Christmas Singing is a book about romance an hurt. Sometimes we hurt the ones we love thinking we are doing what is best for them. This is what Gabe did to Maggie Lane. He was trying to protect her from his own pain and this caused a lot of hurt on both sides. Sometimes we are suprised at just how much we need the people we love even when we dont want to love them. The characters in this book learn that love does conquer all and you can't turn love off and pretend that is doesn't exist. I love the way the Gabe is willing to let Maggie hate him even though it is putting him through terrible pain to see her going on with her life. This book goes to show that God really does know best and that when he put someone special in our lives we should grab hold and not let it go because love is a pecious thing.
