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read one that featured a dual timeline, and even more importantly, the first time I’ve read one that had any sort of historical references.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…

The Metropolitan Affair Book Review
My expectations were probably higher than they should have been when I started reading this book. So many of my reader friends have raved over it, and with good reason. But for me, I struggled to make it through the first 2/3rds of the story. There were several moments that could have been tightened up to make it a shorter, more engaging novel. I got bogged down by a huge cast of characters, all connected in some way to the Met or the forgeries that were being investigated. I did successfully guess the main culprit, and once I did, the time it took for Joe and Lauren to figure it…

A Note Yet Unsung Book Review
What a satisfying conclusion to this series! I love how there were three distinct themes present in each book – art, nature, and music – and having long been interested in music (even some classical scores), I soaked in every moment of this last story. I want to share so much about it in a review, yet don’t want to share anything at all except to say – it is a MUST READ! Even though I don’t want to share too much, I will share just a few things… If you are a fan of Southern history, you’ll love the fact that the Belmont mansion in Nashville and its owner…
