All things Hidden by Tracie Peterson and Kimberly Woodhouse

Since I am currently studying about the depression for school, I enjoy the chance to learn about history as told through the eyes of others.  In reading historical fiction, I am given the chance to learn about some of the lesser parts of historical events.  This book takes place during the 1930's and tells of a journey of hundreds of settlers to Alaska Territory.  One of the new settlers is a doctor who gets a chance to start over after losing a patient.   Another of the characters has lived in the settlement her entire life and has trouble adjusting to the new additions to her town.  The story is filled with twists and turns and is sure to leave you wanting for more.  Kudos to the authors and hope for another collaboration.
I received this book for free to review for Bethany House.

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.
