Mary's Calico Hope by Anne Blackburne

I knew that I would like this book and I DID! Here's my review: I really enjoyed this story in its entirety! Amish fiction is my absolute favorite, and this book is a real gem. It has themes of faith and hope. There's also a love story that seems hopeless, but God had other plans. Mary is amazing! She doesn't let her disability define her. She does the best that she can, one day at a time. Reuben is the epitome of a healer. He gave up a lot to be a doctor, and it's his passion. Bishop Troyer is my favorite! His wisdom and compassion help make Mary and Reuben's love possible. Honorable mention to the cat, Hope! I love how she wraps up the book! My favorite parts are when the characters realize their need for God and pray to Him for guidance. "I think what Gott actually places in our path are honest friends who light a fire under us when we're hesitating to go where we need to go." Mary puts her future in God's hands and trusts that He will place her on the right path.

The Higher Desire Wife by J Parker

There's a lack of Christian books available to review on Library Thing so this is one that I chose to win. It's pretty explicit in some areas, some of it actually made me blush. Here's my review: I found this book to be interesting and informative! This book outlines helpful information for women whose sexual drive is higher than their husbands. The author provides hope, advice, and even scriptures to help women as they walk this path. I found a lot of wisdom and practical ways to apply this information in my own life. I won this book from Baker Books via LibraryThing!

Until We All Share Joy by Heather Wood

This is a wonderful novella! I was totally captivated by the story in its entirety. The characters are relatable and easy to like. Titan is my favorite! His compassion and gentleman-like ways are endearing. He grows so much during the book and he also helps others grow. Grandfather Gates is wonderful! He appears gruff and grouchy but he has a heart of gold. This book helped me to remember how blessed I am to have a family that loves me and to cherish every moment with them. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series!

Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray

I really enjoyed this book! It inspired me to research this time period and the people who shaped history then! Here's my review: This is an intriguing and interesting book! Historical fiction is my favorite genre, and this book is captivating. I had never heard of Frances Perkins before. I will definitely be researching her life and the ways that she attributed to politics. She was an amazing woman who sacrificed a lot to help her country. If you read this book, let me know what you think! Jeanette
