Long Way Home by Lynn Austin

 This story will for surely tug on your heartstrings as you journey with Peggy as she tries to help her friend Jimmy as he returns from WWII a different man.  She looks in his rucksack and begins to contact the people he interacted with during the war.


In this dual timeline, you meet Gisela who is a young lady from Germany who is also a Jew.  Her story takes place 7 years earlier than Jimmy's but will draw you in and leave you wondering how Jimmy and Gisela are going to interact.


I want to be like Peggy, advocating for my friends and family even when it hurts!  This at times is a hard story to read but there is so much good in it.


Thanks so much 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.

Sugarcreek Surprise by Wanda Brunstetter

I have pretty much read all of the books by this author.  This book was a little bit slow to develop for me.   I really enjoyed seeing the characters of Orley and Lois that were in the previous book.  The character Lisa was a little bit of a downer for me.  She had her heart shut down to everyone because of the circumstances in her life and it made me find her difficult to enjoy. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.
