Passages of Hope by Terri Haynes (Doors to the Past)

 This book was fascinating to me to read about the historical fiction of the underground railroad.  I enjoyed reading about the present day Gracie and Olivia in the time of the underground railroad.  It gave me even more to think about in terms of that time period and the great sacrifices of the men and women who were trying to escape and those that were trying to keep them safe.  My only struggle at times with the book was that Gracie was so down on herself and a little too negative for me.  


I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

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.

The All American by Susie Finkbeiner

 From the first line, this book captured my interest as I followed along with the lives of Bertha and Flossie.  I found their dad to be such an endearing character as well as their brother Chip who loves his family so much.  I particularly enjoyed that each section started with an excerpt from their dad's book.  This is an author that I absolutely enjoy so much and this book did not disappoint. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.
