TBR 2022

131. By All Appearances  by Dawn Kinzer Christian romance. New to me, I've added Dawn Kinzer to my Yes Author List. The story leads us through the growth of the protagonists, painful at times and encouraging.

132. Eternity (The Friendship Series Book 1)  by Staci Stallings Christian romance. Loved it.

133. The Easy Way Out (The Friendship Series Book 2)  by Staci Stallings Christian romance. Staci is one of my favorite storytellers. I only wish I could buy all her books in paperback. They're all keepers.

134. Aggie (Mail Order Brides of Pine Crossing Book 3)  by Kathleen Ball Western romance. It was the perfect book for reading while waiting for car service. 

135. That Tender Light (Owen Family Saga novella) by Marsha Ward historical romance.

Are you ready?

Celebrate with a story.

Giving Thanks

The eleventh novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Eight years ago, Michelle Bronson ran away. Returning Thanksgiving Eve will allow her to settle before anyone knows she's home. Accepting Jesus made her new, but the past won't stay buried. She's strong enough to face it. She must, if she wants to embrace life. Maybe assistant baker at Holiday Sweets is the open door she's seeking.

Theodore Williams III lived his life as Mr. Straight as an Arrow. He remembers Michelle, along with his harsh judgment of her, but she's not what he expected. The choice is his to hold to what he knew or to embrace the new. Perhaps God is opening a door to the future.

Placing God first opens doors never imagined...

Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it and condemn the rest of us into suffering with them.
