The Marriage Pact by Kathleen Fuller




 This was such a sweet story! I loved how the characters developed throughout the story. At first, Daisy seemed to be a little too much but she grew on me throughout the book with her unselfishness and compassion. Perry was a man who had been hurt in life but his care for people and butterflies was remarkable. One of my favorite characters was Ferman. I enjoyed him being the grumpy old man but still cared about those around him.


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

Lowcountry Lost by T.I. Lowe

5 stars!!!! Somewhere is the place where the reader will want to be!! From the prologue the author has the reader picturing themselves in the story. She engages the reader with her typical deep storyline with its sprinkling of humor throughout.   The idea of turning these abandoned ghost towns into viable properties is such an engaging story I love Maudie--she loves Avalee deeply but also confronts her when needed. I also want to pick up a hammer and start renovating.  I love how they keep the treasures and find ways to reuse them like the best HGTVers Love the idea of small happies The quotes throughout the book are so meaningful!  I highlighted so many of them! Thanks so much for the ARC!  The opinions are my own!

A Picture of Hope by Liz Tolsma

5 stars If you enjoy World War II historical fiction, this is the book for you.  I have read many WWII novels but this was a different spin on it with the story revolving around a little girl named Claire who had Down Syndrome.   I think I may need to re-read the ending because I was trying to read the book as fast as I could because I wanted so desperately to know how the story would end!  The character of Sister Maria-Theresa was one that I loved.  She had such strength and faith amidst the adversity that they were facing.  Maria-Theresa always sought the Lord during the crisis and had such wisdom for those around her.   I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. The book is set to be published on October 1, 2021 and can be found here:   A Picture of Hope (barbourbooks.com)

The Last Stars in the Sky by Kate Hewitt

 Wow!   This author does such an amazing job telling a story that the reader thinks they are living with Alex and her family.  I was rooting for so many of the characters.  This book will remain in my thoughts for quite some time. 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. Sudden...
