Happy Reading!!!"

"It is the 2nd book to Karen Kingsbury's series "Forever Faithful". I loved it, as I love all Karen Kingsbury books.

This book filled my soul with joy and happy tears. You will be reminded that God forgives all when you have faith in him.

If you don't know the scripture Jeremiah 29:11, you will know and love that verse by the end of this book.

I would read the first book in the series .Waiting for Morning. Happy reading!!"

"My emotions are bittersweet. I loved this book but I was so sad for"Elie Wiesel" that he had to go through all the events. That he survived and had the strength to tell his story.

"Night" was a powerful story. Its powerful and not a book to be taken lightly."

"Kristin Hannah is one of my favorite Authors. With that being said "On Mystic Lake" was another beautifully written book.

Being women we are expected to do so many things for our family. We go with the flow of life. We are there for our husbands and our kids. We make sure that our family is okay and they have what they need. We love them and support them.

"On Mystic Lake" stood out to me. The storyline was so well written and you felt you really new the characters of the book. There was a message in this book for all women. The message to me was....While raising your children and loving and growing with your husband. Don't forget to love yourself and find meaning in your life.

I hope whoever reads this books really enjoys it. I read this book in 3 days. Kristin Hannah is an amazing writer!! Happy Reading!!"

"Jodi Picoult does it again!!! She wrote another great read with a awesome ending!!!

As a Catholic this was close to my heart. How could any of this happen. How do we trust the people we look to for spiritual guidance. Somehow we do!!!

I highly recommend this book. I read it in 2 days. As I do with all Jodi Picoult's books."

"This is the same author of Sarah's Key. I really liked this book. It had some slow parts and a lot of names through out the book. So you really have to keep up with it.

Happy Reading!!"

"Wow!!! Karen Kingsbury has done it again. She has written another book that makes you think about this book and it's character's.

I read this book in 3 days.I expierenced such intense emotions that I have never had when reading a book.I didn't want the book to end.

It was an awesome read.It's a story about forgiveness,about love,and trusting God's plan for your life.Then when one of the main characters is asking forgiveness God is revealing things in store for her.She has a feeling of peace and things are clearer.Isn't that a prayer we all have? To be given a feeling of peace with life's bump.

I finished this book about a month ago. I still cannot put the storyline out of my head. I highly recommend this book.In the end you will be sad and cheer for them for what God has shown them.Karen Kingsbury has been given a beautiful gift of writing. I always look forward to her books."

"This book tugged at my heart strings. I felt like I had a lot in common with Angie one of the main characters in the book.

Lauren one the other main characters is living a life that I could not imagine. She lives in a bad area. Her mother is an alcoholic and is never around. Her mother is always bringing men home. Lauren is always being told that she is a mistake. How awful to hear that.

Angie and Lauren meet,something magical happens. In an instant their lives change for the good and the bad. They are wonderful together. Angie's family takes her in with such love.

Get your tissues out,you will need them. Kristin Hannah does an amazing job. I loved loved this book. I recommend this book for so many reasons. Its true the things we do for love sometimes we won't stop at anything. Enjoy!!!!"

"This book was the first book I have read by Debbie Macomber. WOW!!! It has been almost a year and I still think about the story line. I loved this book!!! I could not put the book down. I did not want the book to end.

It has a happy ending!! I felt like I wanted to live on Blossom Street because I loved all the characters in the book.

If you want a sweet, and clean book I would recommend this book. I was really well written. I was just really happy for all the characters in the end.

"I love Kristin Hannah's books!!! I could not put this book down. If you have read other Kristin Hannah's book and liked them. Then I would recommend this beautifully written book.
Winter Garden is a story about family,sisters,and forgiveness. Also trying to understand a mother who has made herself emotionally and physically unavailable to her 2 girls. The ending will have you wrapped up in emotion. I promise you will never predict the ending. I hope that this book has you walking away saying,"WOW"."
