As Rhett and Sarah started discussing quilt patterns, Judah contemplated jumping out of the buggy.....Meanwhile Judah would bang his head against a tree or walk into some thorn bushes. Either would be preferable to a quilt discussion. Lakeside Love
Kathleen Fuller brings a fun and light story to the party. This was a perfect follow up after Amy's story and some much needed comic relief. Esther is a beautiful character inside and out. Everyone sees it but Judah. I felt in all the stories I really connected with Esther the most. She feels like she lives in the shadows and just isn't good enough. By putting her trust in God and the visit of a pretty cool Yankee Esther sees that she has more value than she realizes. Will Judah see that as well or will he be stuck listening to quilt conversations?

Ever felt like your sibling was better in the looks or brains department? Ever feel inferior to them? Well, that is how Esther has felt her entire life towards her sister Sarah. Sad situation to live under, huh? In Kathleen Fuller’s “Lakeside Love”, she portrays those real life feelings of being inferior and hiding how one feels. This is another look into family drama of some sort. Drama between two sisters, but in the end, everything works out and love prevails. It’s a story of never giving up hope. A story of being who you are – don’t compare yourself to someone else. God made you “YOU”. Each person is different and has their personal strengths and weaknesses. Live your life for you and not hiding in someone’s shadow.

Esther always feels like the " ugly duckling" next to her sister Sarah. Esther has feelings for Judah, but he seems to only have eyes for Sarah. But when Rhett, an Englisher, comes to stay for several months, Judah us caught off guard by how jealous he is but why? Does he have feelings for Esther? A nice read
