An easy and enjoyable read. The story of a young man Caleb who finds unexpectedly that he is the father of a daughter with Down's Syndrome. The book relates his return to the Amish community of his birth, his developing relationship with his daughter Joy and the schoolteacher Leah, and their eventual decision to form a family. What sets this book apart from many Amish romances is that it is written primarily from the man's perspective which is an interesting twist.

In a time when we seem to be losing sight of the contributions of immigrants to American society, this sweet book has real meaning. It details the journey to America of Jewish woodcarver Feivel. Feivel works hard to earn enough money to send for his wife and children who are still back in Eastern Europe. He is able to obtain a job carving wooden horses for a carousel on Coney Island and slowly accumulates the resources needed to bring his family to America as well as creating beautiful flying horses. The end of the book sees Feivel and his family riding together on the carousel. A short but lilting tribute to the hard work of immigrants and how immigrants benefit American society.

An intriguing guide to help with prayer. Every letter of the alphabet combines an everyday object in your life with an attribute of God. Starts you thinking and make connections between your daily activities and God's place in the world. The idea of "praying the alphabet" is an unusual approach not everyone will find helpful but it is unique.

A light hearted story of the antics of two twin girls growing up in the South. They manage to get in a heap of trouble swapping ech other's identities! An enjoyable read. My only suggestion to the author is to edit things a bit tighter and omit a few details that slow down the story line. But all in all a fun book for a lazy afternoon.
