Facing the Dawn by Cynthia Ruchti

 4 stars


I am not sure even how to review this book. The subject matter was really tough and there was an extreme amount of loss in the book. But on the other hand there was so much grace and love that was displayed.

Mara is a mother of 3 children (Jeremy 12, Chelsea 18, and Dylan 19) Her husband is on a 4 year stint in Uganda creating wells for the people there. The family is in crisis in the beginning as the 2 older kids have had some problems. But then tragedies strike.

I particularly enjoyed the characters of Solomon and Ashlee. They came alongside of the family and poured life in to them. Mara is also a woman of snarkiness which was enjoyable.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

The Summer of Songbirds by Kristy Woodson Harvey

  This book makes me want to send my daughter to summer camp :). I loved the stories of the songbirds and the strength of their friendships through the highs and lows of life. I enjoyed how the friends had each other do their hard things too. My favorite characters were Finn, Paola, June, Huff and Steven. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

No Romancing the Passengers by Lee Wimmer

 I enjoyed the mystery and suspense in this book.  I also enjoyed the idea behind the cruise and how the passengers all enjoyed each other.   The stuff about dream walking was different for me and gave me something to think about.  There is another book after this one so everything is not tied up neatly at the end.  I enjoyed the characters Miguel, Mike and Willie. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.
