One of the Drew Farthering Mystery series. This is the first book by Junianna Deering that I have read. The story kept introducing twists and turn thus causingthe reader to change their thinking on who exactly committed the murders Drew Farhering was unofficially investigating. I did not find the book had the a story line that kept my interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I would be more than willing to read another book by the author, though I will stay away from this particular series. </div>

Winter is finally beginning to loosen it's hold. Time to clear out flower beds and think of spending more time outside. Busy year.<br />

Girl Scouts has taken over a large portion of my lime for the past year and it has been so rewarding. My small group of Daisies will become Brownies at the end of May. We re also planning our last camping trip as Daisies. Am I really ready to sleep in a tent? We shall see as October will be our first camping as Brownies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Doll houses have taken a second seat or maybe even third one. Not sure. Reading and reviewing also moved out of first place for the past months. Anyone else have more things that you want to do than you have the time for? Am currently working on a 1/2 scale house that I am having difficulty finding furniture for.<br />

Emma Smallwood and her father ran a small boys boarding
school for a number of years. Now with the decline in enrollment it appears the
school is destined to close. A letter from a former student’s father has them
moving to the estate to tutor his younger sons. The older sons return home for
a visit and the calm life of the estate becomes interesting. Who plays the
piano late in the night? Who has been sneaking into Emma’s room during the
night and leaving messages? As children, one of the older brothers had played
pranks on Emma so was he the mysterious one? Then there was the question of why part of the
house was declared off limits to Emma. Was there a secret the family didn’t
want her to know about? </div>

Having previously read The Girl in the Gatehouse, I wasn’t
surprised when Julie introduced events that gave The Tutor’s Daughter a new
twist. I enjoy Julie Klassen’s books and will gladly pick up any of them for a
time of enjoyable, captivating reading. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Part historical fact and part fiction, I found A Clearing in
the Wild an interesting book that is based on the move of a religious communal
group led by Wilhelm Keil from Bethel, Missouri to Washington in the 1850’s. A
bit of a history buff myself, I did a little research on this group and found
they were similar in some aspects to a group who founded the Amana Colonies in
Iowa. It seems German communal groups were not uncommon during this time in our
history.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Emma is an outspoken young woman who finds it difficult to
assume the role assigned to her, that of a demure, quiet woman who does not speak
out and follows the dictates of her father, husband or leader. When a group of
men is selected to scout out new territory in Washington, she begins a campaign
to go along. Newly married, Emma and Christian have spent more time separate
than together due to Wilhelm’s various jobs for Christian. She argues that she
can cook for the men, take care of them when they are sick, do their laundry
and be with her husband so they may be a family. The leader reluctantly agrees
and allows her to travel with them. A Clearing in the Wild is the story of that
journey, the hardships and triumphs of finding choice land that they can build on
and begin a new colony. Jane Kirkpatrick has done an excellent job of allowing
us to take this journey with the scouts and experience the triumphs and
heartaches they faced. Even when Wilhelm declared the land they chose as undesirable,
Emma convinces Christian that God did not make a mistake and there is a future
for them in the land that will allow them to fulfill the godly principles their
group held sacred.</div>

Should the reader be familiar with the Sinclair sisters and
Miss Hattie, you will meet them again in Twice a Bride. Willow Peterson, a
young widow, had dreamed of becoming an artist. She leaves home for the town of
Cripple Creek and moves into Miss Hattie’s boarding house. She finds a job as a
portrait painter for the local photographer, Trenton Van Der Veer. Careful of
the time they spend in each other’s company, they are aware of the talk that
could come out of a single woman spending too much time in the sole company of
an unmarried male. Yet, romance blossoms. But, Mona Hodgson doesn’t stop here.
The Sinclair sister’s father arrives with a child of French descent. Questions
arise as each sister comes to grips with the love and attention Harlan Sinclair
showers on Cherise. Love and attention he never gave them. Harlan and Cherise
also stay with Miss Hattie while they are in Cripple Creek. Lest I give away
too much, suffice it to say that there are two weddings by the end of <u>Twice
a Bride</u>. <br />
<br />
The fourth book in The Sinclair Sisters of Cripple Creek, I would recommend <u>Twice a Bride</u> as a stand alone book for those not familiar with the series.<br />

Lizzie Engel is being forced to return to her Mennonite hometown
of Kingdom, Kansas in order to protect her daughter. A stranger she does not
know has been mailing her threatening letters and a man has been following her
around. The new life she has set for herself and her daughter is threatened and
the only place she knows to go is back home since that is the only place the
stranger won’t be able to find her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Kingdom is an isolated town that has been governed by a
strict board of elders. Outside interference is simply not tolerated. She left
five years earlier when her father would not accept her pregnancy. Seduced by a
man she believed loved her, the town turned against her and she had to leave. Now
she has returned and is finding that the new pastor and some of the people she had known are changing the town.
Buildings are painted, people are beginning to smile and help each other. Her
own mother is taking a stand in opposition to her father’s. An accident and the
death of the driver leads Lizzie to realize the stranger has found her. Who is
this person and what do they want? An old friend, Noah Housler, works with her
to unravel the mystery. In the end, of course, all is well and Lizzie finally
finds the acceptance and love she had looked for all of her life.<br />

When I read the back cover of this book, I failed to
understand how the title had been chosen. A Wreath of Snow? A novella that
covers a short period of time, Liz Curtis Higgs has given us a story that does
not seem to be happening in a short time frame. Set in Scotland during a snowstorm,
Meg Campbell is leaving Stirling and returning to Edinburgh after spending a
disappointing Christmas with her family. Things at home have not been the same
since her brother, Alan, had been injured in a curling stone incident. Gordon
Shaw is leaving Stirling after completing a newspaper assignment. When their
train is stranded in a snowstorm, this unlikely pair finds themselves walking
back to Stirling. Neither wants to return for their own reasons. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gordon is invited to the Campbell home for a meal and to
warm himself when they make it back to town. From this point on the reader
becomes immersed in the lives of the Campbell family and Gordon Shaw. There is
more to these individuals than meets the eye. Meg feels guilty and angry because
Alan is disabled and has become adept at making their parents feel sorry for
him, catering to his every whim. Gordon is also feeling guilty because it was
his actions that caused the injury. He knows he needs to make his true identity
known and ask for Alan’s forgiveness. When the family realizes who he is at a
curling match, the lifestyle that Alan has set up for himself begins to rapidly
untangle and the secret that Alan had been hiding is now revealed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A story of secrets, unforgiveness and guilt in the lives of
Meg, Gordon and Alan we find the mercy and grace of God at work as everyone faces

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I began The
River. It is a story about a river and its place in the life of Gabriel Clarke.
How could someone be made for the river? Yet, Gabriel was. Losing his father at
a young age to The River, Gabriel moves from Colorado to Kansas to live with
his mother. He fears the water now and wants nothing to do with any river. As the
years go by, he begins to see that a river is not something to be feared. Then
comes the day when friends invite him to go to Colorado with them to camp, go
river rafting and to explore the river. Gabriel starts to remember things from
those early years and begins to accuse The River of taking his father from him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The more I got into this book, the more I began to see and understand the
struggles Gabriel was facing. He was trapped by the chains of fear and
resentment, trapped by circumstances that would affect his life unless he could
gain his freedom. Returning to Kansas after the trip, Gabriel felt the pull of
The River and so returned to Colorado to the river rafting camps. He goes to
work at one of the river camps and meets people who help him to better
understand The River and the affect it has on the lives of those who love it.
He also starts to understand that The River did not take his father from him.
As a seasoned rafter, his father lost his life while saving the life of someone
else. With this knowledge, he realized that his destiny, his home is here with
The River. He was made for The River.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
I recommend this book, giving it five stars. It is a story
of the freedom that awaits all of us when we face our fears and no longer give
them control over our lives.<br />

Lonnie Sawyer and her family live in the Appalachian hills
among the creeks and hollows. Shy and retiring Lonnie has no experience with
men, so when Gideon O’Riley walks her home after a local singing and dance she
finds herself what his friendliness and advances mean. Gideon has treated her
with respect and kindness, helping her over the rocks and moving branches out
of her way. When they reach her home, she allows him to kiss her. But Lonnie’s
father believes it was more than a kiss and a shotgun wedding takes place. Now
the handsome Gideon finds himself married. Not used to being responsible for
anyone, he takes Lonnie and heads across the hills to find a job. The kindness
and gentleness of the walk home that night is gone and he is now hard and
unyielding in pushing to reach a town where there is work. Lonnie’s life was
hard at home, but nothing like she is experiencing now. She is not feeling
well, is not eating and wants to sleep. The walking all day with little to eat
has begun to take its toil when Jebediah finds them and takes them home to stay
with him and his wife so Lonnie can recover. Gideon begins to realize the
responsibility forced upon him with his wedding day and discovers he actually
loves Lonnie, but there are still things he has to discover and learn before he
is able to be the husband and father his family needs. Lonnie finds that she is
stronger than she ever thought and the book ends with these two young people
ending up where they should have been on their wedding day – deeply in live and
committed to each other.</div>

All’s Well That Ends Well is the title of a Shakespearian
play, but it also describes the ending of The Kincaid Brides, Book 3. Mary
Connealy has very neatly tied up all the loose ends and still managed to give
us a surprise or two.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had the opportunity to read second book, <u>In Too Deep</u>,
about the second brother, Ethan, and wondered what I could learn about the
third brother, Seth. A Civil War veteran with a physically painful childhood,
Seth was in the habit of going to the caverns in the mountains around the home
place to hide whenever remembrances of his past overwhelmed him. Along comes Callie
who had married Seth while she nursed him after the war. One day he took off
and she never saw him again. The day came when she realized she needed to find
his brothers, let them know she had married Seth and was on the way to see them.
That in itself was a surprise to the brothers, but not the biggest one. Seth
and Callie had a son no one knew about. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At this point, I was hooked and had a hard time putting the
book down. I simply had to know how Callie and Seth worked this out. Would
Ethan find that the past no longer held control over his life? Would he
remember that he had a wife? Would Callie find that she could trust her husband
not to abandon her again? The answer to all those questions is yes, but how
they were answered I want to reader to discover on their own.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Over the Edge</u> works as a standalone book because enough
information is given to make sure the reader is aware of what has happened in
the lives of Rafe and Ethan, the brothers. Yet, that background information does
not get in the way of those who have previously read <u>Out of Control</u>
and/or <u>In Too Deep</u>.</div>

Would an Old Order Amish girl dabble in witchcraft? Many in
Rhonda’s town believed she did. How else could one explain the premonitions
that she said she sensed? Because the townspeople, Amish and English, looked at
her wondering, Rhonda kept close to her family home and tended her garden.
Canning the fruit of her garden and selling it gave her a feeling of
satisfaction. So did dispensing the herbs she also grew, but there was one who
was determined to destroy that garden and keep the seeds of doubt alive in the
town.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Samuel King and his family tended the apple orchard that had
been in their family for generations. Selling the apples for eating and cider
provided the finances needed each year. This year, though, worms had invaded
one third of the orchard and Samuel knew they were facing a financial problem. He
considered approaching Rhonda for help with the orchard since she knew enough
about horticulture to offer advice and had a thriving canning business that
might make use of the apples that could not be sold for anything but cider. As
they work at uniting the two businesses, a sudden tornado destroys what is left
of the orchard. What will they do now? What new avenue is God opening up for
them? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A Season of Tending presented a deviation from the usual
Amish story of boy meets girl, boy and girl disagree, boy and girl either make
up or go their separate ways. The primary focus of this book is the resolution
of financial issues and of perception. This is the first of a new series titles
Amish Vines and Orchards. I enjoyed this book and happily recommend it to
anyone interested in another side of Amish life.</div>

A new widow, Corrie Saunders, returns to the home where her
deceased military husband Jared had grown up. The Ozark area of Saunders Creek
was home to descendents of Appalachia. Those early settlers brought their
traditions of witchcraft and spells with them, raising their children in the
beliefs they had been taught. Jared’s family was no exception, but for one
cousin and his mother. Eli has taken on the task of renovating the home place
for Corrie and find that he is becoming protective of her. Knowing there is a
stronger source of power than the beliefs of his relatives has led him to begin
preaching in the local church. Eli’s faith is well grounded and he begins to
question some of the things that are happening in the house. Things that Corrie
believes are Jared trying to communicate with her. As Corrie begins to suspect
that maybe it isn’t Jared at all, she also realizes that Jared may not have
been the person she thought he was. As Eli and Corrie become better acquainted,
she starts to see that the picture Jared presented to the world was not who the
man really was. Selfish and self centered in life, his only act of putting
others first resulted in his death. With this revelation, she begins to move
beyond mourning for Jared and see that she has a full life ahead of her. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Skeptical at first about the choice of subject in The Widow
of Saunders Creek, I did finish the book. Not my favorite reading material I
was curious as to how it could be a Christian fiction book and still hold true
to Christian beliefs and values. What I found was a very good explanation as to the differences between a
relationship with God and witchcraft. I would recommend this book to someone
who needed to see those differences as they began their walk with the Lord.</div>

The title intrigued me. What is a short straw bride? Does
she have short straw –colored hair? I was about half way into the book when
Karen revealed where the title came from. By then I was hooked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Meredith Hayes had an encounter with one of the Archer boys
when she was ten years old. No one ventured onto the Archer land without taking
their life into their own hands. Or so the stories went. Yet Travis Archer had treated
her with kindness. Now it is twelve years later and she is living in town with
her aunt, uncle and cousin. On a walk with the man she is engaged to, she hears
him plot with another man to burn the Archer brothers off their land.
Remembering the kindness of Travis, she hurries to their property to warn them.
Now the second encounter occurs. Some sets fire to the barn while she is there
and in the process of getting a stubborn mule out, Meredith is kicked in the
head by the mule. When her uncle finds out that she has been with the four
Archer brothers for four days recovering he insists that one of them marry her.
Hence, the short straw bride. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Travis has arranged it so that he becomes the bridegroom,
feeling that as the oldest it is his responsibility to take care of his
brothers as well as Meredith. Unknown to everyone, he has fallen in love with
her and Meredith is now married to the man she has dreamed about for twelve
years. All goes fairly well until cousin Cassie shows up very upset because she
is being forced to marry the man Meredith was supposed to. Again the Archer
brothers find themselves shielding and protecting a woman. Their solitary life
is quickly coming to a close and they find that neighbors are not such a bad
thing. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">This is the second book by Colleen Coble that I have read
and enjoyed it just as much as the first. Tidewater Inn was a difficult book to
put down. I wanted to know how everything turned out.</span><br />

Libby Holladay restores historic buildings that are usually added
to the National Historic Registry. With the ability to see the possibilities,
she sees what others do not and Tidewater Inn is no exception. But Tidewater
Inn has more than just its appearance to snag and get hold of Libby. Her
partner, Nicole, has preceded her to the Outer Banks and calls Libby excited
about the Inn, a dilapidated lifesaving station and lighthouse ruins. When Nicole
is kidnapped, Libby rushes to the Outer Banks to search for her. To add to her
anxiety about Nichole’s safety, Libby finds that she is also a suspect. But all
of this is only the tip of the iceberg. Libby learns that Tidewater Inn has
been left to her by a father she never knew. Oh, and she also has a sister and
brother. The reader gets caught up in the events surrounding Vanessa and Brent,
Alec and his nephew Zach, an unscrupulous lawyer and meets a wonderful search
dog named Samson. I leave it to the reader to do as I did and immerse yourself
in Tidewater Inn. You won’t regret it. </div>

Vivian Sinclair is joining her married sisters in Colorado
and she isn’t sure she will fit. She wants to make her own way as a fashion
designer, but there is a problem. She can’t find a job in the mining community.
Being a telephone operator only lasted a day or so, the local stores didn’t
need women clerks and the clothing stores had no extra money to hire a new
employee. When offered a job as a hostess in a sporting house, Vivian felt that
a past mistake sort of gave her leave to work in such an establishment. However,
her streak of independence is about to land her in trouble. When Miss Pearl,
the owner, ends up dead Vivian becomes a suspect. The outlaw boyfriend of Miss
Pearl is convinced she killed Miss Pearl and he is out for revenge. The sheriff
and her sisters also want to know what has happened. How can she ever explain
why she even considered working for Miss Pearl? Will her sisters reject her
when they find out about what happened before she left Portland? Is she worthy
of the love of the sheriff's love now?</div>

The third book in the Sinclair Series of Cripple Creek
series, The Bride Wore Blue still is a good stand alone book. Once I began, it
quickly became a book that competed with my need for sleep. </div>
