Book Review: Seashell Season by Holly Chamberlin

As a mother, I was a bit tentative to read a book about child abduction. However, Seashell Season dealt with the subject after the fact, when thankfully, the child is reunited with her mother. Continue reading “Book Review: Seashell Season by Holly Chamberlin”

Book Review: Soldier’s Heart by Megan Green

Melinda: Jennifer, I think you would like this book. There are puppies!

Book Review: In Twenty Years by Allison Winn Scotch

Book Review: Claiming Noah by Amanda Ortlepp

The beginning of the book is a bit slow. I guessed around 40% in where the story might be going. But this didn’t upset me. In fact, the opposite happened.
