Trial of the Heart

Jamie just received an inheritance of  a wine vineyard from the late Mrs. Walden, but she does not drink wine and does not want to be responsible for any drunk drivers.

So, she is trying to turn the vineyard into something else.

Mrs. Walden's family is fighting for the vineyard.

But the unthinkable has happened...Jamie and one of Mrs. Walden's grandsons start to like each other...


This book is so much more that a sweet romance.

It looks into the idea of can you marry for just love alone or does there need to be more?

Should you marry someone with idea of being able to change them AFTER you are married?

Can you love someone for who they are even if some of the things they do are not of your same values?

A lot of laughs and plenty of tears bring this book into your heart.

Emeralds and Espionage

While reading this book I kept disappearing on my husband....

When he finally found me he would say "what are you doing?"

And I had to admit that I was reading about Bart and Allison...(sigh)

Every time I would tell him "Just one more chapter..."

But each chapter ending always leaves you hanging...so of course you need to read "just one more chapter."

This is an amazing story that is so good, and filled with so much suspense, it leaves you wanting even more.

Once you start this series you will want them all!

The Rent Collector w/ Book Giveaway

Book Details
Author: Camron Wright
Release Date: September 2012
Publisher: Shadow Mountain
Genre: Historical Fiction

This book is one of those amazing, 

change-your-life, kind of stories!

A woman, (Sang Ly), living in a dump, wants to learn how to read so she can better herself and her family's situation.

Who can teach her? The one who sharply demands the rent each month.


Over the course of time these two women learn a lot about each other and the world of literature.

Sang Ly discovers things she can do for herself without having to ask anyone else...like which bus to take, or where the doctor's office is, or how to better her family life.

She also discovers a side of the "rent collector" that no one else ever knew.

As I was reading I realized how much I take reading for granted.

How blessed we are...those of us who LOVE to read...to have the whole world at our fingertips...even if we sometimes read to escape where we are in life.

This book is based on a true story!
SO ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD!
A MUST-READ!

He spends most of the book talking about his career and the heart attack that changes his outlook on life.

Still a really good story!
