Bent Tree Bride by Denise Weimer
Susanna lived a life of privilege. Her future was planned out. Her father had a husband selected for her. Susanna had no say in the matter. She was to do what she was told.
Of course, Susanna was determined to live her life the way she felt she should. Throughout the book you can see the growth in Susanna as she found herself surrounded by the historical events during the War of 1812.
Sam, a mix-blood Cherokee, was caught between two worlds. He often found himself in turmoil.
Could Susanna and Sam have a life together despite their differences?
A love story that I could not put down. A historical delight that made my heart pitter patter every time Sam and Susanna were together!!
I received this book for free to give a honest review.

FROM THIS MOMENT by KIM VOGEL SAWYER
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

The Wedding Planner by Laura Brighton
Just discovered a new author and I had to share. Her name is Laura Brighton. Her books are based on Tybee Island. Sounds like a wonderful place to live or visit.
This story is about The Wedding Planner on the island. Her name is Rachel. Rachel has suffered heartbreak in her early years. She thought she was over it but as the story unfolds she realizes she has much to learn about healing and forgiveness.
I was enjoying the story when it abruptly ends. What? I have to wait to the next book!! I will keep a look out for the next one as I have to find out if Rachel gets the answers she needs to move forward.
I received this for free from Book Sirens to give a honest review.

The Robin's Greeting by Wanda Brunstetter
Have you ever been so excited to read the latest book by your favorite author but sad when finished? This is always the case for me when I have a new book by Wanda Brunstetter. The Robin's Greeting is the third book in The Amish Greenhouse Mystery Series. This book brings everything to a conclusion. I was quite surprised at the ending.
The theme of Forgiveness runs throughout this book. There were moments in the story that I was surprised forgiveness was given. It isn't easy to do. Carrying the anger and bitterness inside when you are wronged can eat you up. You are giving the other person too much power over them. Forgiving is freeing!
Believe me, I have been treated poorly in a past relationship. I could have used this to be bitter and suspicious of others. It would have been easy to put up an imaginary wall up and not let others in. But I would have missed much. I was not going to let this keep me caged up.
Jesus was nailed to the cross and said "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do". Quite powerful.
You will love this book. I have received a copy of this book from Barbour Books and being a member of Wanda's Clippity Clop Club.

The Rose Keeper by Jennifer Lamont Leo
Clara kept to herself. She didn't let anyone in. She prided herself for being a good nurse and she loved her roses. Everything else she kept at a distance.
But was it enough? Clara's quiet existence was about to change. A new tenant has moved in the apartment building. And she had a young daughter!
A lovely story about Clara and how she "bloomed" and grew after Laurie and Rosalie moved in. Clare's story was quite touching. The relationship Clara shared with Laurie and her daughter, Rosalie, impacted the way Clara saw the world. With this change, Clara opened her heart to others and with GOD. What an impact this made in not only Clare's life but with so many others.
I received this book from the author, Jennifer Lamont Leo, to give a honest review. Thank you as this story touched me as well. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy.
