Buried Secerts

EXCERPT "How does it feel to hold your first grand baby, Reuben,?' Mammi asked. Dat's face screwed up in anguish. "Oh, Gott forgive me, " he cried. "Someone please take the boppli." "Buried Secrets" is the second book in the series "Sisters and Friends" by Rachel Good.  In this book we get to me a lovely young girl, Emma Esh, whose has lost the past year or so of her life due an accident resulting is a lapse in memory.  Emma finds herself living with her sister and brother-in-law who are expecting their first set of twins.

Find out why, Jacob and Tess's marriage is heading down a dangerous path, in Amy Lillard's "More Than A Marriage" Wells Landing Series.  MY THOUGHTS In this incredible read,  Lillard brings to real life situations into the lives of a young amish couple Jacob and Tess.

Lillard brings a universal theme to this story, and reminds us how important it

Each of these authors brings their own touching story to create this beautiful collection. I could easily write a lengthly review on all of these stories, however to keep this semi-brief, I have decided to write a review on, Home Sweet Home by Amy Clipston. EXCERPT "Don't be so hard on yourself" Isaac wrenched open the passenger side door. "Vera and I struggled when we were young. Every couple endures tough times, and you and Mia will come through this stronger. Vera and I will do all we can to help you. "With a quick nod, he hopped out of the truck and started toward the front door of the store. MY THOUGHTS This story is full of emotion, hopelessness, and failure. You know that feeling, when you have no idea how where your life is headed and how you'll walk the difficult road you've foun

Follow Wanda to Sugar Creek, Ohio, where you'll meet some people you'll love - hopefully as much as I did. Two people from this story particularly captured my heart, but I won't give away anymore than that. You'll just have to read and find out! So find a cozy and comfortable place to read, because one you start this tory and you meet Heidi Tryoer, you wont want to stop.

Heidi hopes to fill the emptiness she fills, and starts to think God may have different plans for her life. What she didn't anticipate was that she would meet so many incredible people who would touch her life and fill her with more joy and blessings than she ever dreamed.
