The Secret Keeper by Beverly Lewis

I think this is my favorite book in the Home to Hickory Hollow Series.  I received this a free book to review for Bethany House Publishers.

Jennifer has always felt out of place in her family and in this century.  She feels like she should have come from a simpler time in another century.  After making friends with an Amish girl and after much thought, she has decided she would like to part of the Amish community.  This story is her quest to become Amish.  The struggles she goes through connecting with her family and helping them understand who she is and trying to fit in to a community where it takes a lifetime to master things like submission, language, culture, etc... I very much connected with the main character as I always longed to go back to the 1800's.  A great read!

A Talent for Trouble by Jen Turano

Another great book by Jen Turano.  This book was so cute and funny!  I had a hard time putting it down. Loved it. My new favorite by her!!

Miss Felicia Murdock has a talent for getting herself in trouble.  She has a wonderful heart for helping others and is discovering how to spread her own wings and be who God made her to be rather than the person she thinks she should be.  Lord Grayson Sumner is hiding from his past and God, unsure he should or can be forgiven. 
Grayson and Felicia have an instant attraction for each other and immediately, Grayson must help get Felicia out of the messes she keeps getting herself in.
The characters come to life before your very eyes.  Their personalities are exaggerated, which  brings about much laughter and makes this book so light-hearted and fun!  A great read!!!
