A Kingsbury Collection: Three Novels in One: Where Yesterday Lives, When Joy Came to Stay, On Every Side by Karen Kingsbury

I glad to get this book just in time for a day off so I could get it all read.  Karen Kingsbury is a great author and I really enjoy reading her books.  This one was extra great in that the series was all together and I didn't have to wait for the next book.

Where Yesterday Lives tells the story of Ellen and her return to her childhood home.  She returns there uncertain of the way her life is going and the differences in how things are since she left.
 When Joy Comes to Stay tells the story of  husband and wife,  Maggie and Ben, and  the impact that Amanda makes on their life.  Maggie has some issues and it takes Ben some doing to understand them and how to best handle them and how their trust in God helps to make things work out for the best.
On Every Side  tells the story of Faith and standing up for what she believes in. In standing up for what she believes in she finds herself on the opposite side of Jordan who she never thought she would be up against. 

"I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review."

Sincerely Yours by Jane Kirkpatrick, Ann Shorey, Laurie Alice Eakes, Amanda Cabot

I enjoy getting a chance to read a set of novellas as it gives me a chance to quickly read one story, but keep it going in the other stories.  Each story has similar theme where the main character of the story receives a letter that changes the course of their life.  Each character needs a change and this gives them a chance to alter their lives for the better.  I enjoyed the way that the authors were able to weave the theme through out the stories and how they kept you turning the page to see what would happen to the characters and how the mysterious changes in their lives would turn out.   I have previously read stories by these authors and would enjoy another collaboration like this one. Jane Kirkpatrick’s link to a giveaway until April 8.    http://janeswordsofencouragement.blogspot.com/   I received this book free to review.

When Tides Turn by Sarah Sundin

     I have enjoyed reading this series and since I have been studying about WW2 in school, I enjoyed it all the more.  I have liked being about to tie what I have learned in history class with what is in the book because even though it is fiction, it was well researched and gave me a different view on things.  I also enjoyed seeing how the characters interacted even though it was a change of pace for both of them.      I received a copy of the book from the publisher, but the review is entirely mine.

Captivated by the Cowgirl by Jody Hedlund

 We now the story of Felicity in the Cowgirl series.  The family has gotten the boarding house back and Felicity cannot do it alone.  She needs help and finds it in an unlikely place.  I liked seeing the story of Felicity and Philip and how their relationship evolved.  There is much intrigue and hidden dangers involved and the book was a real page turner.   Love this series and keeping up with the characters of all the books in the series.
