Jewelry Stories from You’ll Think of Me
Thank you so much for stopping by for today’s Jewelry Stories! Robin Lee Hatcher has been one of my go-to authors for yeeeeears. Her early books were some of the first Christian fiction novels I ever read, and really helped cement my love of the genre. Titles like The Victory Club, The Shepherd’s Voice and her Coming to America series are all must reads for Christian historical fiction fans. I have been playing catch-up in recent months with her backlist, and found myself reading You’ll Think of Me which was the first book in her Thunder Creek series. I made the mistake of reading this series out of order, and…
