River to Redemption by Ann Gabhart

I have not read such an  interesting, thought provoking piece of fiction  in quite some time, this book truly was excellent and I loved the fact that it was loosely based on a true store. I loved how a town came together to buy the freedom of one man who risked his life and did not think of himself and took care of others. I love how this book weaves together several stories of memorable characters and is realistic in their flaws and struggles and yet it is encouraging to watch them grow and be given second chances.
I love how the author found this obscure story of human kindness and brought it to life.

The hope of Azure Springs by Roachel Fordham

I was absolutely enthralled with this book, I felt like the characters and message was refreshing and not run of the mill. I cannot say enough how much I appreciated a character who was not utterly breathtaking and who had beauty that came from within. Em was an charming and endearing character who you cannot help but grow to love and cheer on as she wins the whole town of Azure Springs over through her kindness and inner beauty. While Em doesn't get all of the happy endings one hopes for I felt like her story was more realistic to how life turns out sometimes and that made it all the better albeit sad.
Memorable characters, a wonderful heroine and a compassionate hero, the romance was charming and slow to build up which is exactly what I prefer.
I thought this was an outstanding book by a debut author, I will certainly be on the look out for more of her books in the future!

Minding the light by Suzanne Woods Fisher

This is another great, easy read by one of the most prolific Christian historical authors out there! I think this series by her is one of my favorite! Filled with endearing characters that engage and delight this book jumps between two different historical periods and it adds so much depth and layers to the whole story!
This book is about something beautiful coming out of a tragedy. When Daphne and Ren lose someone near and dear to them will something good come out of the tragedy? As they grow closer together will they be able to overcome the barriers that separate them or will their love come at too high of cost?
