Faith over fear...
Are you currently letting fear rule your life? Then this is a read for you! So many good things are out there waiting for us if we will just take the leap! Jennifer Moorman uses all of the supporting characters in this book, even the animals, as very encouraging voice to the main character April throughout the story. When others believe in us it helps us to believe in ourselves as well.

This short story was light and sweet. I love the magical element in Mystic Water. She crafts a wonderful and unique town in her novels making me want to return to Mystic Water over and over. I only wish it had been longer. Definitely recommend the read!
