Read with Audra Blog Tour: HomeSpun



About the book:





Straight from the pens of Amish and Mennonite women . . .

Ever wish you could visit with a group of Amish or Mennonite women over a cup of coffee? In the pages of Homespun, Amish and Plain Mennonite women swap stories and spin yarns while we listen in. Lorilee Craker, bestselling author of Money Secrets of the Amish, collects these personal writings about hospitality, home, grief, joy, and walks with God. Hear from one woman who struggles with feeling inferior to her sister, from another about her longing for a baby, and from a third who accidentally bought stretchy material to sew her husband’s pants. Each woman’s story is a testament to the grace of God and the blessings of community.

Behind Amish romance novels and tourist spots and television shows stand real people, with longings and loves just like the rest of us. Every Amish and Mennonite woman has a story. In Homespun, you get to hear some of them.



About the editor:


Editor Lorilee Craker is the author of thirteen books, including Money Secrets of the Amish; Anne of Green Gables, My Daughter, and Me; My Journey to Heaven with Marv Besteman; and the New York Times bestseller Through the Story with Lynne Spears. Connect with her at LorileeCraker.com.

 My Thoughts and Review:

I was very intrigued by the book cover and synopsis of this book. I truly enjoy visiting Amish and Mennonite Communities, so the book really intrigued me. I received an ebook copy of the book and dove right into reading. The book is filled with stories from the Amish and Mennonite Women, an easy read and just AMAZING! I felt like I was in their community, right there with them as I was reading their personal and poignant stories! GREAT BOOK!

Book Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

JustRead Tours: Mourning Dove Blog Tour and Review

Mourning Dove blog tour

Welcome to the blog tour & giveaway for Mourning Dove by Claire Fullerton, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

mourning dove Title: Mourning Dove  
Author: Claire Fullerton
Publisher: Firefly Southern Fiction  
Release Date: June 29, 2018  
Genre: Southern Fiction, Family Life  

"An accurate and heart-wrenching picture of the sensibilities of the American South." Kirkus Book Reviews

The heart has a home when it has an ally.

If Millie Crossan doesn't know anything else, she knows this one truth simply because her brother Finley grew up beside her. Charismatic Finley, eighteen months her senior, becomes Millie's guide when their mother Posey leaves their father and moves her children from Minnesota to Memphis shortly after Millie's tenth birthday.

Memphis is a world foreign to Millie and Finley. This is the 1970s Memphis, the genteel world of their mother's upbringing and vastly different from anything they've ever known. Here they are the outsiders. Here, they only have each other. And here, as the years fold over themselves, they mature in a manicured Southern culture where they learn firsthand that much of what glitters isn't gold. Nuance, tradition, and Southern eccentrics flavor Millie and Finley's world as they find their way to belonging.

But what hidden variables take their shared history to leave both brother and sister at such disparate ends?

My Thoughts and Review:

The book started out slow and I thought I wasn't going to get through the book. Ohh, how I was WRONG. Chapter 3 things started to pick up and I got really into the storyline and book.

I at first was taken aback about "Family Drama" in this book. I continued to read and be intrigued, as this is REAL life with many families nowadays. The love between Brother and Sister grows as they learn they need to "lean on one another" as they encounter trials and tribulations of life.

Mourning Dove is a book that proves time and time again that once you get into the thick of the book, it is HARD to put it down.

Book Rating: 
I give Mourning Dove 4 out of 5 Stars. Good book, yet slow at the start.
