Narrated by Kirby Heybourne I love this job. Seriously. I get to listen to some of my favorite authors and then tell you why you should or shouldn’t listen as well. Once again, I was lucky enough to listen to and review a book by one of my favorite authors, Karen Kingsbury. I had been…
E.F. Schumacher said “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.” That is precisely what the heroine of our book has done – traded a complex, successful life in the English world for…
I tend not to be a big anthology fan. Too often the stories are hit and miss, with more misses than hits. This anthology had three authors I had read and enjoyed before so I took a chance on it. I am so glad I did.
There’s an old saying that tells us the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But you don’t need to go to that dark destination to realize that good intentions combined with bad actions can have devastating consequences. Regency pride and false morality make this tale about the sins of the fathers and mothers…
Back in my middle school and high school years Janette Oke was one of my favorite authors. Her books about the Canadian West contained fabulous characters, sweet romances and a subtle message of the Christian faith that transcended denominations and went straight to the heart. When I heard she was expanding her Mounties series (When…
Narrated by Gayle Ambrielle Loflin I am not what you would consider a huge Austen fan or a Janeite as some fans call themselves. I have even (gasp!) spelled her last name Austin before which I am sure would be considered a crime in some Jane Austen fan’s eyes. I do, however, love Pride and…
All the comforts of home. That saying serves to remind us that home is a place where many of us feel most at ease, most ourselves. But for some, home can have a far different meaning. Home can mean the place where you were abused, looked down upon, taken advantage of. For the hero of…
Through a relative’s slip of the tongue, Lydia discovers that she has living sisters. After her family’s accident in which her parents were killed, the three young sisters were split up, Lydia and her sister Susanna to Amish couples and her youngest sister Chloe to her English, non-Amish grandmother. Since the girls were so young…
The hero of this novel tells us, “You don’t really know people until there’s a tragedy. Even family. Suffering has this way of stripping us all bare of any pretenses. There can be no more pretending.” This encapsulates the essence of what the book is about: truth, what it is, and if we always need…
Narrated by January LaVoy Whenever I get the chance to listen to a Karen Kingsbury book, I get really excited! After all, she is my very favorite author. If you read/listen to Inspirational fiction, chances are you have heard of Ms. Kingsbury. So when Lea (a.k.a. my mother) asked me to review The Chance, I was…
