Review of The Naomi Chronicles, Book One, Beginning Anew by Paula Rose Michelson Wow, I am stunned at the bravery and courage I just experienced in reading The Naomi Chronicles--Book One--Beginning Anew.   It is magnificent!   I had so many questions which formed and were not answered as I read the Casa de Naomi books.  I feel like it brought closure to all of my questions about Naomi and  her past and the history of the Jewish people.  What a beautiful testimony of God's love and guidance!  I personally feel that  it was my favorite of the entire series!  It seemed to truly get at the heart of the characters.   It also left me wanting to know more about Chaz and Naomi.....I want them to have children and be happy and grow old together.   I feel that Naomi has missed  so much and deserves to live a joyful and abundanat life was denied her in the past!!           I can not review this bea...

Review of Second Chance by Eileen Hinkle Rife Mave Robertson, a recent empty nester, wants the fire back in her marriage, but her husband, Jerry, remains aloof. Is he having an affair? A midlife crisis? When a neighbor suggests she “get a life,” Mave accepts the challenge and volunteers at an inner-city teen ministry where she's thrown into a culture of drugs, gangs, and unwed teen moms. She soon discovers someone she can help, but might he also be the cure for both her stale marriage and her crumbling relationship with her father? ~~ Dareece Jackson, a teen from the projects, wants something in Mave’s purse…and he’ll stop at nothing to get it. My Review of Second Chance: God certainly has a plan in what He has me read.  I am 50 years old and feeling very lonesome, sad, and useless in my "empty nest".   This book arrived a good while ago and it got pushed far underneath a piece of furniture and I discovered it last week.    As I began reading, I though...

[[ASIN:1595548874 Need You Now]] I have read many of Beth Wiseman's novels previously, but they were all works of Amish fiction.   This new novel was far from disappointing and I must admit that I was reluctant to read it at first.   Darlene and Brad Henderson move from the big city to the small town on Round Top, Texas, when their teenage son gets into some trouble.    The anxiety and adjustment of the move begin to cause some dangerous behaviors to surface in their "perfect" teenage daughter, Grace.   Younger daughter, Ansley, convinces Dad to let her raise chickens if she maintains a C-average which they thought would never happen....but soon the family is indeed raising chickens.   A new friend comes to Darlene's rescue and turns out to be not only famous but they become the best of friends.    Tensions continue to rise as Darlene takes a job outside the home for the first time ever and receives inappropriate attention from one of her sp...
