When God created My Toes by Dandi Daley Mackall

Super book that is great to real to a child or even one that can be read together.  The illustrations go great with the story.  The book takes one through with how God created the child and what he may have been thinking as he created each part. “I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review”

The Crossing by Sierta Ann Jakes

The Crossing is about how Claudia watched a murder 10 years ago while on a bus in high school.  Ten years later the case about who opened fire is reopened and eventually solved.  This book wasn't exactly what I expected, but was an okay book to read and figure out who had committed the murder.  The book details relationships of others who are also involved in the story.  “I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review”

A Sound Among the Trees by Susan Meissner

I own several books by Susan Meissner and this one is just as good as the others.  It takes place in Fredericksburg, VA in current times, but draws much from the Civil War days since the house was built before the Civil war.  Marielle has just married the owner of the house and moved there from Arizona.  Her mother in law lives in the house as well.   The locals feel the house is haunted by a previous occupant who is said to have betrayed the south during the civil war, but the current occupants don't believe that , but do feel that the is something about the occupants of the house who seem to draw misfortune. “I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review”
