The Angel of Vienna by Kate Hewitt

 I really enjoy reading books by this author.  She has a way of writing that takes her readers right along with her in the story.


This story was no different as we travel to World War II and the atrocities that are committed at the hands of the Germans.  This story centers around a difficult subject--the "outcasts" of society according to Hitler.  These young children are housed at this hospital for "treatments".  Young nurse Hannah is sent by her half-brother who is a high level person in the army.   She is sent to safeguard her nephew who has some different abilities.  


Even though, it is such a difficult subject, the author steers away from going in depth to the torture and awfulness that takes place and instead focuses on the people who go out of their ways to make a difference in the lives of these kids.


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.

Description From a million-copy bestselling author, comes an unforgettable and heartbreaking story about one woman’s determination to keep her family together when their world falls apart... “Mom, why are you so mad at Dad?” “I’m not,” I say, which isn’t exactly true. Putting on a brave face for my two young daughters—pretending everything is fine in my marriage—has been hard. That, and losing the house after Daniel lied to me. I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents’ isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It’s twenty miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody’s lived here for a decade. Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used
