These Blue Mountains by Sarah Loudin Thomas

Every once in a while a book comes along that not only makes you think, but touches your heart. This is the book that did that for me. Here's my review: Wow! This is a fantastic book! It has everything that I love about the historical fiction genre. I never knew that there were internment camps for German aliens. I also enjoyed the imagery in the book. I've seen the Blue Ridge Mountains and they are a sight to behold! Hedda is an amazing woman! She's selfless, loving and compassionate. Lotte and Hedda have always wondered what happened to Fritz (son/fiancé). A disturbing photograph has possible answers. Hedda travels from Germany to North Carolina determined to put the past to rest. There she finds answers, hope, and love. Garland is a man with many layers. He has secrets from his past that haunt him. As his path crosses with Hedda's he realizes that the past can't stay buried. Faith in God is mentioned throughout the book. Fritz hid in Bethania and there he was taught about Jesus Christ. "I am a new man because of Jesus. He has forgiven me everything." This is inspiring to me. It's a reminder for me to share my faith. I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from Bethany House via Netgalley through Interviews and Reviews. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Let us March On by Shara Moon

Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!

Go See America by Matt Tory

Absolutely splendid! Wow! I love this book so much! Here's my review: This is a fantastic book! It's divided into 7 regions of the USA. I enjoyed reading and learning about every place that was included. Some of them I have been to and the rest are on my bucket list. The pictures are extraordinary! They made me want to hop on a plane and go on an adventure. I hope the author writes more books like these. I won a complimentary copy of the book from LibraryThing.

The Summer of You and Me by Denise Hunter

I don't like giving spoilers because I believe that everyone should read and judge a book for themself. This book is worth the time, believe me! Here's my review: Oh wow! This book is amazing! There are so many twists and turns. I thought I had it figured out and then it turns out that I didn't!! I enjoyed everything about this book. The setting of a picturesque small beach town is perfect! The cast of characters are relatable and easy to like. The little surprises that popped out here and there kept me interested and involved!!
