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.

Mercy come Morning
Mercy Come Morning is a book about the healing of a relationship that was misunderstood. Krista is faced with her mother's illness and how their relationship has caused her from being able to have true happiness in her life. Through much grace and freinds and letters from the past help her to understand that love is not always easy but it's still love. she goes on a inner journey to find peace with her mom, her past, and her future. She finds herself and find out what is improtant. The book was a good read and i would like to see more of Lisa Tawn Bergren's work. I would like to even see a follow up story because i would like to see where Krista goes next. But alas the character only lives in the author's head and now that her story has been told maybe there isnt much more to say. I guess we will have to wonder.

Restless In Carolina leaves you wanting more
Restless In Carolina was a great read. I loved the story line and loved the Characters. Bridget was a fiesty woman who knew what she wanted and what she didnt want. She wanted to hold on to a life that had passed away, but she reluctantly let it go. She knew deep down this was the wise thing to do. The story was well woven with the family characters that relied on one another and relationships however strained were strong. Bridget was caught in a web of family drama, yet she held her own and was true to her self and passions. She found out that God was always in the midst and never left her, and even understood her anger and hurt and still lived her anyway. It was a great story of letting go and finding love and a rekindling a relationship with God. I loved the book and want to read more about this family. I definitely will be on the lookout for more by Tamara Leigh.

Indivisible a romantic twist!
Indivisible while not my favorite read recntly, it did hold my interest. The book focuses on a mystery aobut who is killing the animals. I had it figured out about half way through the book. I will say that in the beginning i was expecting the romantic part of the book to take a different turn, but was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I wish the author had put a little more action in the book with mystery plot. I think it was a little dry. But would not say it is a total lost.

The Daughter's Walk An interesting Read!
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
The Daughter's Walk was an interesting read. I found the story of two women making a trek from Washington to New York intriging. The book starts out about these two women and their travel and how theri relationship changes through the decisions they both make. The story turns to the daughter and focuses on her life and exile from her family based on choices she made. I Understood the choices she made and found myself sympathetic to her plight. She grew into a person that i think her family secretly admired though none would ever admit it. I would have like to see a little more romance in the book but alas it was not to be. I would like to know more about the family history of the Estby clan. I find that i was left wondering if Clara ever found love and would like to read more of the walk her mother and she too in 1896. I will be looking for more from Jane Kirkpatrick. I really enjoyed the story but as i said before still left a little hungry.
