Approachable yet deeply rooted in Scripture, this study is perfect for individuals or groups seeking to strengthen their faith and experience the joy of walking in a two-way relationship with the God who loves and trusts you.

Book Excerpt

I wasn’t sure how to trust that he was guiding me and that I was hearing him and obeying him. I didn’t know if I actually did trust God as a friend or father.

Like a friend we only see at school or work, our relationships with God can sometimes be situational or limiting in how much trust we ever have to put in him. Trust is perhaps something that we all know of and yet find difficult to really define. Is it only relying on someone, to be confident that someone will do what they say? Since God isn’t physically here, I wasn’t sure how to call him up and ask him to come over and help me process life and all these thoughts, plans, and fears. There was a limitation in my understanding of how to interact with him and trust that he was there. I didn’t really understand how to rely on him, but maybe I needed to consider what I defined as trust. 

This book comes from a new understanding of what trust means in relationship with God— that trust is mutual, like all relationships are. In the struggle to trust during difficulties, I knew I needed to understand a bit more about biblical trust and if (or how) it was different from the standard definition of “relying on someone.”

The Cobbler's Apprentice

I started reading this wonderful story and then I realized... Hey, I read the first book with these same characters.  I was thrilled.

The book was everything I could ask for.  I loved Jimmy. He knew what he wanted.  He was loyal and hardworking.  He knew that Enid was the girl he loved. But she disappeared and he had no idea where or why.

A wonderful story of perseverance and determination. The characters are great.   

I highly recommend this story. I was entertained by every page. Another hit by Lynette Rees.

I received this book from Boldwood to review.

Releasing July 8, 2025

Is the powerful McQuaid legacy of love only a thing of the past? Or can such a love still happen today?

Tyler McQuaid has been too busy managing his family’s luxury ranch resort to think about love. But when his dad gets sick and may not have long to live, Tyler begins to question what is truly important. He’s already failed once at love and marriage, but how can he say no to his dad’s sickbed wish that he try again? 

Kinsey Wingrove, a traveling nurse, prefers to keep her relationships short and sweet, and yes, even shallow. With the losses she’s already experienced in life, it’s just easier that way. When she arrives at Healing Springs Ranch, she clashes with her new patient’s son, the handsome cowboy who runs the place and doesn’t think she’s the right nurse for his dad.

As sparks fly between Tyler and Kinsey, the meddling, matchmaking McQuaid family sees that more can exist between the two than they will acknowledge. Can Tyler accept and move beyond the mistakes of his past to allow for the McQuaid legacy of love—a fast, furious, and forever kind of love? Or will he let Kinsey’s fears push him away forever?

• Single dad

• Matchmaking family

BOOK THREE: His Perfect Bride

Isn't this cover gorgeous?  Sage was beyond beautiful. Jackson couldn't help noticing after his sister introduced him to her as her lady's maid.

As time went by, he couldn't help seeking her out.  Sage was confused as to why he would as she was "just" a servant. Not perfect in any way.

Who's perfect?  I know that it is difficult to look at what we do well. We constantly go over and over the mistakes we have made. Jackson and Sage needed reminders that no one is perfect. We are not expected to be. 

I absolutely love reading anything by Jody Hedlund.  She knows how to tell a story.  This one is very entertaining.  I  always know that I'm in for a treat when I open one of her books.

The Indigo Heiress

Drastic times equal drastic measures. Juliet had to do the unthinkable to save herself and her sister, Loveday. She took the risk and married.

A great, historical story of a time period where one had to take a side.  Are you for or against the Crown?

Scotland is the home of my maternal grandfather's family. We visited a couple of years ago and loved the beautiful country. I enjoyed visiting this country within the pages of this book.

Leith Buchanan was the Scot Juliet married. He got her attention but could he capture her heart?

I loved the book!

The House of Echoes

‘The Brandon blood is dark with lies and treachery and as it flows through my heart, my vow ist this: they will all pay.’

Hampton Court Palace 1530s

Anne Brandon has always understood the power of a king’s patronage and, though the court of Henry VIII is a dangerous place for women, as the daughter of the king’s best friend, Anne feels safer than most. But Anne’s husband Lord Powis is tiring of her childlessness and when Henry VIII begins plotting to rid himself of a queen in his quest for an heir, suddenly Anne’s life is in danger. And as whispers of the name of her friend Anne Boleyn get ever louder, there is peril in every loose word, every forbidden conversation.

Pembrokshire Present Day

Caroline Harvey has spent years helping her grandfather, the reclusive bestselling novelist Dexter Blake, hide from his legions of fans in his home on the Pembrokshire coast. After his death, the vultures begin to circle Dexter’s fortune. When Caroline’s ownership of the house she has inherited is called into question, her research into its history reveals it was once owned by Anne Brandon who had sought refuge there. Intrigued, Caroline is determined to discover why Anne fled the court of Henry VIII.

Two women divided by centuries but joined by secrets and courage. And when a twist in their histories threatens them both with the same fate – losing the man they love – their revenge will be the same too. Because there’s no one mightier than a woman underestimated or more powerful than the need to save those they love.

Bestseller Alexandra Walsh is back with a compelling, captivating insight into the Tudor court through the eyes of a woman who had only her guile to keep her alive. Perfect for all fans of Barbara Erskine, Philippa Gregory, Anne O’Brien and Elena Collins.

Heart of the Glen

Owen is one of the main characters in this story. I already knew I would love him as my grandson's name is Owen. Owen McCready is an Irish Weaver in the beautiful town of Dunlewey, Ireland.  The town is made up of many kind and passionate residents. They are hardworking and willing to help their neighbors in their time of need.

Saoirse Fagan came upon the town in a desperate situation. She was extremely fortunate to meet Owen's sister, Aileen, on the way.

Both Owen and Saoirse had difficulties in letting go of their past regrets.  It wasn't until they listened, really listened to GOD that they were able to live the life GOD planned for them. 

I absolutely loved the book. It had everything I love in a story. Romance. The location. The characters. Owen, Saoirse and Aileen were a joy to get to know. 

Jennifer Diebel has a special talent in bringing her characters alive.
