Pieces of Granite

Today I finished reading Pieces of Granite by Brenda S. Anderson and my goodness was it a good read.  If you've ever lost an infant or pregnancy or know someone who has, have a special needs child, or a rough patch in your marriage, you will be able to relate to this book. The story drew me in and made me not want to put the book down. I was there when the diagnoses was given. I was there when the gut wrenching pain of lost hopes and dreams unfolded. Brenda nailed the pain of loss, the shock of an unexpected diagnosis and the turmoil marriages can go through when life throws in a curve ball. She also does a wonderful job of pointing you back to Jesus.

This book was given to me by the author for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

The Land Uncharted

I recently read The Land Uncharted by Keely Brooke Keith and loved it. Yes, you read that right I loved it. I like reading a story without reading the back cover first. I enjoy being surprised as the story unfolds before. Well this futuristic meets primitive story in some uncharted land left me puzzled until I let it go. That's right I left go not knowing the setting, but when I did I really enjoyed the story. Could you give up all modern conveniences for a new land and people that you're starting to fall in love with or would you be finding a way to leave the mysterious land? You'll have to read the book to find out what Connor decides.

For me, this was a great book to stay up late with and fall asleep reading. There was at least one night I went to bed at 2am just so I could find out what happens next. My only question is, when does book two come out? I need to know what happens next.

Wedded to War

I just finished reading Wedded to War by Jocelyn Green and must admit I was left shocked. I found myself flipping back and forth between the last page I read and the next page that wanted me to rate the book. Wait a second! Didn't I just start the book? Wasn't I just getting sucked in? It can't be over it just began! I guess I need to read book two to see what happens next.

Wedded to War is about a woman, Charlotte, who wants to serve her country in some capacity. Being a woman of stature it isn't acceptable for her to get her hands dirty. So what's someone with a servants heart to do when it's not acceptable to serve?

I found Wedded to War intriguing. Charlotte is a go against the flow kind of girl. It's women like her who make history. It's a good, quick read. Keep in mind it's just the beginning of the story. You'll have to read book two and three if you want the full story.
