Carved in Stone by Elizabeth Camden My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved Elizabeth Camden’s early novels, but then I read a few that didn’t interest me much. This book was a choice I picked from a reading challenge on Goodreads. I’m so glad I did! It’s a well-written story about a woman fromContinue reading “Carved in Stone”

Boulevard of Confusion
Boulevard of Confusion by Sandra Merville Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars Author Sandra Merville Hart did a great job with this sequel to Avenue of Betrayal. In fact, I liked this one better!

Chasing Shadows
Chasing Shadows by Lynn Austin My rating: 5 of 5 stars With everything going on in Ukraine, reading this account set during WWII in the Netherlands was just eerily similar to what we’re watching on the nightly news. A country overrun by the Nazis, towns overrun, bombs dropped, no food or water… it was hardContinue reading “Chasing Shadows”

Angelina’s Resolve
Angelina’s Resolve by Cindy Ervin Huff My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this “what if” story.

And while it could have been a typical “I’m as good asContinue reading “Angelina’s Resolve”

A Heart Adrift
A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another lovely Colonial America story set at the beginning of the French and Indian War. There is nothing of the war itself in the book, but that geopolitical event is a large part of the tension for the characters. A second chance atContinue reading “A Heart Adrift”
