Beautiful story!

Revisado: 10-20-22

What a beautiful book! I first read Ilima’s historical fiction about the Hawaiian Islands, “A Song for the Stars,” and loved, so much, it’s lyrical tenderness in the midst of fear and violence, that I started “Remake” without glancing at any reviews. When I discovered that it was about a dystopian society, I was at first disappointed: most of the dystopian books I have read are terribly negative and hopeless. But this was amazing! We needed to see the harsh structure of “Freedom City” to understand the true joy and freedom of family and nature outside with the “rebels.” There is softly a true God-centered view to be celebrated.

Totally delightful book!

Revisado: 09-28-22

Nina’s home, van, heart, and life are totally filled with books. She knows how to pair each person with just the right book to meet their own particular needs. She goes on a grand adventure, way out of her comfort zone, when she loses her job at the library, only to find even greater purpose and lovely romance in a little town in Scotland. Memorable characters. The Audible.com version is beautifully read by Lucy Price Lewis.

Magnificent Story of Joy Triumphing through Tragedy

Revisado: 08-31-22

Such a lovely and moving story, set in the world of ballet. Broken and lost souls finding one another and bringing healing to abandoned hearts. The main character’s love for God and His Word permeate her thoughts in delightful ways. Sweet, clean romance.

She Only Wanted to Belong Somewhere

Revisado: 08-21-22

Excellent mystery with clean romance. A wealthy dysfunctional family doesn’t know what to do when an unsuspected “cousin” shows up and not only begins piecing together her own story, but also that of secrets in the family’s past. Her attempts to show care and concern for the arrogant family members seems to boomerang against her.

Sweet Follow Up to Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe

Revisado: 06-29-22

It’s Christmas time and Jenny’s boyfriend is interviewing in New York for a great new promotion from his little office in London. She couldn’t go along because of keeping up with her Cupcake Cafe business. Lots of delightful drama and relationship pains and growth among her friends, family, and staff.

Delightful

Revisado: 06-24-22

The unique characters in this book keep following me around in my heart. Zoe, a single mom of a four-year-old who has never spoken a word, has to move out of her shabby London apartment. She gets hired on as a nanny in a huge old mansion on the shores of Loch Ness in Scotland, as well as taking on a part time job as a mobile book shop operator. Two of her three charges have been expelled from school for fighting, and their often absent single father has basically given up on getting any kind of routine or order in their lives. The grumpy old housekeeper serves as the uninvolved babysitter between nannies. The struggles and tragedies they all face try Zoe’s patience to a frazzle, but her determination to make the best of things and bring joy to this household are inspiring. A lovely story.

What a great read this is!

Revisado: 05-12-22

A pilot major is downed in Siberia, slapped into prison, and manages to escape into the Siberian winter before they can get any information out of him. A huge manhunt is underway to recapture him, and his freezing treks through all manner of frozen forest mountains is fascinating. His survival skills were learned from his earliest boyhood, taught by his Sioux Indian father. His Scottish grandpa gave him light colored eyes, and tales of his own warrior background. Always a loner, Joe Mack still manages to make some friendships along the way, as he tries to keep ahead of the KGB. An awesome story. Beautifully read by David Strathairn, an actor you will likely recognize.

A mother’s dysfunctional past taints her relationships with her daughter.

Revisado: 02-24-22

I have loved most of Francine Rivers’s novels I have read, but the main mother/daughter relationship in this one is very frustrating and left me gritting my teeth, mostly because the mother did not not understand one particular daughter, whose temperament was entirely different than her own. The story was still captivating otherwise, except that it sort of left you hanging at the end, wanting at least an epilogue, until I realized it has a Book 2.
