Book Review: The Lemonade Year
Looking for a change of pace from my recent reads, the gift of book mail in the form of The Lemonade Year by Amy Willoughby-Burle filled the bill nicely. This book was emotional, complex, and beautifully written. Check it out: The Lemonade Year by Amy Willoughby-Burle is a wonderfully written story about family and forgiveness. It is not, at times, a happy story. This is not a light read – Nina’s family puts the “d” in “dysfunctional”, and the characters are all, in their own way, a bit broken. It is this brokenness, however, that fascinated me, as well as the secret the family kept (which you will likely…

Lone Star Book Blog Tour: A Borrowed Dream by Amanda Cabot
I’m linking up with Lone Star Book Blog Tours where we are featuring A Borrowed Dream by author Amanda Cabot, the just-released second installment in her Cimarron Creek historical romance trilogy. Amanda Cabot mixes a touch of humor and suspense in this lovely (non-preachy) inspirational fiction. As an aspiring writer myself, I always jump at the chance to interview the author or host a guest post because I’m fascinated with the behind the scenes part of the process. In A Borrowed Dream, protagonist Catherine Whitfield holds a major distrust of the local doctor, and Amanda’s guest post offers a deeper look into the “healing” practices at the time (which is…
