This book is making me SO NERVOUS!

"You know how one can identify, most of the time, a good book by the end of the first chapter, and an excellent book by the end of the first page?"...."You are like an excellent book. I just knew. I didn't need to read the ending or even the next chapter. I didn't require all the answers or to have the future sorted. My heart knew I belonged with you, and that was enough."

Oh, this book hooks you from the get-go! Even Shannon McNear's introductory letter to readers was worth a second reading. Just love her honesty and voice.

Can this tale get any better?!

Ohhh...this braid of stories is SO delicious! Seeing such beautiful pictures in my mind as I read Kristy Cambron's elegant and yet natural prose.

Ohhh, I am smitten with this book! Love the slowly revealing flashbacks via letters between Ruth and Chandler.

I have just finished "In Sight of Freedom," by Laurie Alice Eakes. Love her main characters and their unwillingness to fit into their families' expectations for them! Personal confession: I wanted to reach right into my Kindle app and slap Miss Tilly. The rest of this anthology will have to wait a while until I finish some "assigned" reading with review due dates. I hope the other stories are as captivating as Eakes'

Oh, I am loving this book! New-to-me author, such a gentle style and interesting characters. I suddenly feel I live such a sheltered, cozy life in 2018.

I chose not to finish this book. My spare time is limited, and this devotional didn't feel authentic or Biblical to me. Outwardly it is a beautifully designed book - it's the content that seems superficial to me. I think I'll donate it to one of the "little libraries" on a street corner nearby in the hopes that it blesses someone else.
