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.

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.

sparrow may fall but they will rise again
