Book Review of Ticket to Tomorrow by Carol Cox
Faith, romance, and international intrigue at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. My rating: ★★★★☆ In a lot of ways, this was a fairly typical Christian historical romance. It delivered what I was looking for—not a breathtaking read, but a satisfying story. However, there were a few reasons it caught my interest:...
Book Review of A Song Unheard by Roseanna M. White
Great characters, good writing, and twisty suspense (but a caveat as well). My rating: ★★★★☆ Quite some time ago, I read and enjoyed A Name Unknown, the first book in this series. Eventually, I ran across A Song Unheard and remembered my desire to continue the series. So I reread the first book...

Book Review of Washington’s Lady by Nancy Moser

There are not enough novels that focus on the people “behind the scenes” of more famous historical figures or events. Even fewer do it this well. ...
Book Review of River to Redemption by Ann H. Gabhart
My book review of River to Redemption: Based on a true story, interesting history and sweet romance but a missed opportunity for strong womanhood. My rating: ★★★★☆ I found it fascinating that this book was based on a true story. I was not familiar with the cholera epidemic in this era, and I had never heard of...
