Millie’s Treasure Book Review
I hardly know where to begin in describing how much I LOVED this book! I’ve read a lot of books by Kathleen over the years, and by far, this has been my favorite one. I may be a little biased because the majority of the story takes place in my (nearby) hometown of Memphis, TN, but the story itself stands on its own merits regardless of the setting. So, if you don’t know anything about Memphis history, a lot of the landmarks, streets, and descriptions will not mean much to you. However, after living here almost my entire life, I had no trouble visualizing every bit of it. Adams Avenue…

A Battle Worth Fighting Book Review
A wonderful split time novel that kept me engrossed from start to finish! The modern day story centers around Sahara and a fight to keep her marriage intact. Her road is certainly not an easy one, and her attempts to make her husband notice her seem to fall flat at every turn. But bless him, her husband is a genuine lover of poetry and nature and beauty, and once she realizes that in a newer, deeper way, nothing can stop them. The historic story features Sahara’s ancestor who was brave enough to fight in the Civil War – as a woman soldier! Forgive my naivete, but I genuinely had NO…

Leave It to Claire Book Review
I really enjoyed this book. Like….REALLY enjoyed this book. While my life has not played out like Claire’s (my husband and I are still married, and we’ve never dealt with the issue of adultery), there were so many ways how Claire and I are a lot alike. We have the same goals, hopes, and dreams that we’ve not made a priority as much as we should have. It was eye-opening to read her perspective (even if it was fictional). I wanted to cry through all the moments where she genuinely struggled to have a kind word to say to her ex-husband. Her heart had been shattered, and their kids were…

A Brighter Dawn Book Review
It has been a LONG time since I last read an Amish novel as intriguing as this one. It’s the first time I’ve ever read one that featured a dual timeline, and even more importantly, the first time I’ve read one that had any sort of historical references. A Brighter Dawn features three sisters in the present day who have just lost their parents to a car accident. Their grandmother believes that it would be best for them to visit their Lancaster, PA Amish relatives as there are things in their past that need to be explained. A long cross-country journey finds Rosene sharing Clare’s story of how she traveled…

In This Moment Book Review
There is literally no good way to start a review for this book. Like every other reviewer, I am struggling to even come up with adequate words to describe my experience with In This Moment in such a way that would convince someone else to read it. Simply put – it is amazing! Unless I’m mistaken, there’s been very few time travel stories written within the Christian fiction genre. (Maybe they are actually out there, and I’m just unaware.) I feel like Gabrielle has hit an untapped market of readers by merging time travel and faith together into her Timeless series. The combination of these two elements has provided me with…
