The American Queen by Vanessa Miller

 This story isn't an easy fiction read.  It comes from a place when horrible atrocities took place to people.  It's a book that needs to be read though as the reader can learn about the strength of the people who lived in Happy Land.  William and Louella led their people through extremely trying times and sought the Lord first throughout it all.  Mama Sue was another great character with her steady presence in the background to the leading characters.  To learn that William and Louella were "real people" made the story even more endearing. 


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.

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.
