Miracle in a Dry Season

by Sarah Loudin Thomas

 A revealing story about people

About the Book:

In a Drought, It's the Darkest Cloud  That Brings Hope

It's 1954 and Perla Long's arrival in the sleepy town of Wise, West Virginia, was supposed to go unnoticed. She just wants a quiet, safe place for her and her daughter, Sadie, where the mistakes of her past can stay hidden. But then drought comes to Wise, and Perla is pulled into the turmoil of a town desperately in need of a miracle.

Casewell Phillips has resigned himself to life as a bachelor...until he meets Perla. She's everything he's sought in a woman, but he can't get past the sense that she's hiding something. As the drought worsens, Perla's unique gift divides the town in two, bringing both gratitude and condemnation, and placing the pair in the middle of a storm of anger and forgiveness, fear and faith.

My Review ~

Life in a small town has numerous advantages but the challenges of difficult times can set neighbor against neighbor. A drought in the mid-1950s in Wise, West Virginia affects the community in a mighty way. Suspicions become judgments and ordinary people become enemies. Perla is an unwed mother whose aunt and uncle provide her and her child a loving home. Casewell Phillips is a woodworking bachelor who has felt little love from his father but lives the life of a faith-filled man. Unfortunately the majority of the community are suspicious gossips unable to overcome their propensity to point fingers. 

This debut novel is written with a great deal of insight into the human condition. Characters are defined and believable, illustrating the shortcomings in all of us. In difficult times the worst in people is exposed, as well as the best in others. As Perla cooks for a starving community she is suspected of being a witch because her penchant for cooking ultimately feeds many with little provisions. Others see it as a miracle. Casewell is scorned for the time he spends assisting Perla, but a man of faith doesn't judge others. The pastor of the local church preaches hellfire and brimstone as he points out the sins of his congregation. Ultimately trust is destroyed. 

The author has a great talent for depicting people where they truly live, some hateful, suspicious and quick to pass judgment, and others with open hearts and minds, accepting of others no matter the circumstances. Faith is a strong theme running throughout this story. Descriptive elements are strong and lead the reader to envision the setting in detail. I think that this author has a brilliant career in the making, and I highly recommend this debut novel. It's not a book that I read in one night but I enjoyed the book very much. I'm hopeful there will be a sequel.

My Review ~

A small child was abducted while playing in The Hudson Raptor Sanctuary, pitting family against family, and the community against them. Twenty years later the family feud flares as Ruby Hudson reveals the discovery of her childhood friend's locket caught on a branch of an eagle's nest. The discovery dredges up old wounds and leads to one questionable event after another. Cooper Hudson has returned home to check on his brother, thought to be guilty of Alice Walker's disappearance. Will Cooper restore Ruby's faith in God after she has lost all hope in answer to her prayers? The suspense and mysteries continue as Cooper and Ruby attempt to discover answers to 20-year-old questions.

Dana Mentink has a gift for creating unpredictable suspense with an underlying thread of faith and hope. Hazardous Homecoming is an excellent example of that gift. The characters throughout this book are realistic and believable with shortcomings and failings, compassion and basic human needs. This was a fast-paced book with unexpected adventure and tragic events that kept me reading until the wee hours of the morning. I admire Dana's strong inspirational threads that run throughout this story of Ruby and Cooper and their families as they have ostracized one another. Cooper's faith is a balm through adversity. Grab a copy of Hazardous Homecoming and prepare for a roller coaster of mystery and suspense!

Wanting to relocate from Shipshewana to somewhere new, Mercy Lapp answered an ad in The Budget to work as a mother’s helper for Matthew and Shanna Yoder inSeymour, Missouri. Mercy relocated from Shipshewana to give herself space and time to heal after the death of her beau in a fishing trip on Lake Michigan. Abner Hilty fled Shipshewana to Montana to work on a ranch after he and his twin brother witnessed a murder. Now that the killer is safely behind bars, Abner decides to visit his brother Abram in Missouri where he’d settled with his bride of one month.

Even though the two live in different districts they occasionally see each other in town and form a fledgling friendship. As Christmas approaches, an unexpected heavy snow lets Abner and Mercy spend a lot of time together in wintertime fun. Abner hopes to interest Mercy in a more permanent relationship. But then Mercy has a potentially life changing discovery. Will she return to Shipshewana to answer the summons of the past? Or settle in a new place?

My Review ~

A snowy Christmas is quickly approaching in Webster County, Missouri. Abner and Mercy meet quite by accident and Abner sets the pace for romance by announcing that he intends to marry Mercy. Both have suffered grief and anguish in the recent past, and Abner finds Mercy to be his answer to prayer. A dizzying romance ensues. Characters from previous books in the Webster County series make an appearance. As is customary with Laura V. Hilton's novels, love is definitely in the air! 

This author has created another passionate romance that will quicken your heartbeat while employing discernment and Christian principles. I loved the determination that Abner's character personified! The characters in this book are very well developed, and there is no room for boredom. You'll be reading this one until the wee hours of the morning! Grab a copy and settle in for a memorable experience! I highly recommend this wonderful Amish Christmas novel.

A Quilts of Love Book

by Laura V. Hilton

&

Cindy Loven

4 stars

Description

Sara Jane Morgan is trying to balance teaching with caring for her ailing, stubborn grandmother. When school lets out for the summer, the plans are for Grandma to teach Sara Jane to quilt as they finish up the Appalachian Ballad quilt Grandma started as a teenager. But things don’t always go as planned. 

Andrew Stevenson is hiding from his past—and his future. He works as a handyman to pay the bills, but also as an artisan, designing homemade brooms. When Sara Jane’s grandmother hires him to renovate her home, sparks fly between him and his new employer’s granddaughter. 

Still, it doesn’t take Sara Jane long to see Drew isn’t what he seems. Questions arise, and she starts online researching him. What she discovers could change her life—and her heart—forever.

A life long reader, it has always been my dream to write a book. It often seems surreal to realize this dream is materializing. I love to read and review books, and I love thinking of ideas for new stories. I greatly enjoy the fun of thinking up new ideas to write about.

Married for over 28 years to her husband, Dave, they are the parents to two sons, Jarrod who is nearing 21 and John, who passed away in 2009 at age 14. Since his death I have tried to help educate parents against the dangers of the "choking game." I reside with my family in Arkansas which is my home state.

My Review ~

"Grandma" Morgan's mission is to find a husband for her granddaughter, Sara Jane. Under the guise of readying her home to be sold she hires a hairy handyman to make home repairs and do yard work. Grandma's motives are out of love, but her approach to the situation is unpredictable at best. Sara Jane is clueless to her grandmother's motives, particularly in hiring a mountain man named Drew to make home improvements to her grandfather's house. Grandma's sudden interest in finishing a ballad quilt begun many years ago also has Sara Jane questioning her grandmother's bizarre activities. 

The three main characters in "Swept Away" are diverse. Tragic events from the past have created different responses in each of the main characters, from denying God's love to finding peace in God's very existence. The plot moves along with ups and downs and unpredictability. Relationships are strained and unconventional, with unexpected events occurring randomly. Sara Jane was a bit annoying and immature, but I thoroughly enjoyed Drew throughout this book. Drew's strong faith and sense of peace kept this story going. This is a tale of a developing relationship, and the hidden story that lay within the pieces of the quilt. A cozy read, one to enjoy with a cup of hot tea or cocoa. 

This is not a "Laura V. Hilton" novel, but a "Quilts of Love" story by Cindy Loven with the assistance of Laura V. Hilton. Both Drew Stevenson and X-Amish are the creations of Laura V. Hilton.

My Review ~

Dana Jacobs is supervisor in charge of the local Homeland Security office in Taos, New Mexico. Benjamin Marshall is the new guy in town, assigned to Dana's office after a 6-year military deployment. His charming personality rankles Dana to the core in spite of his brilliance as an explosives expert. His attraction to Dana sets her on edge, and is unwelcome. As dangerous events challenge Dana's best trained team she is forced to accept Ben's expertise and knowledge, along with a strong taste of romance she is unprepared to acquiesce. Dana struggles with bitterness from the past, difficulty with forgiveness, and loss of faith while Ben provides a calm strength and strong faith throughout their investigations into a threat to homeland security. Can she overcome her bitterness and accept the help of one who has the means and the devotion to assist her? Ben to Dana: "Trust me." His faith keeps him on an even keel throughout the most dangerous situations, and he knows that God has placed him where he is for a very definite purpose. He prays for Dana to discover that peace. 

Vannetta Chapman is recognized for excellence in creating absorbing and captivating Amish fiction as well as Amish mystery. In her newest release, "Hidden," she has crossed over to the Inspirational Romantic Suspense genre, and has done a brilliant job of creating a suspense-filled, well researched plot that kept my attention throughout. Her first venture into the suspense genre without the Amish theme is highly successful! Each of the characters in "Hidden" is strong and unique, personalities the reader can identify with. Emotional and danger-filled, this novel takes the reader to multiple levels, each one creating a strong response to the events through the book. Poignant, composed with sensitivity, compassion and artistic expression, this is a compelling book you won't soon forget! The author has presented a high-pitched work of romantic suspense that will assure you that God has a purpose in all things!

• It’s a pleasure to visit your blog today. I’d like to share with you the details of my newest release, a Christian romantic suspense entitled HIDDEN, and then we’ll do an interview with the main character, Dana. Here’s the back cover copy:

DANA JACOBS would rather forget the night of tragedy and violence that marred her childhood. She is now supervisor in charge of the Department of Homeland Security in Taos, New Mexico. Her team is prepared to handle any threat—biological, chemical, conventional, cyber, even nuclear. BENJAMIN MARSHALL is newly assigned to Dana’s office. Straight from a six year military deployment, he is not what Dana wants or needs.

Ben knows God has a reason for putting him in this place at this time—to help Dana. When a local school is threatened, they open a case which leads them on a chase through the Enchanted Circle and Carson National Forest, pursuing a man filled with a bitterness Dana can understand. But her anger is different. It’s justified, it remains hidden inside, and it hurts no one. 

Can Dana face her own mortality? And when she does, can she truly understand what it means to forgive and to be forgiven? 

Some of you know me from my Amish stories. This book is very different, but the heart of it is the same. It’s a story full of suspense, romance, and a good dose of humor, not to mention a focus on God’s grace. Now for our interview with my main character, Dana Jacobs.

Closest relative – sister, Erin.
Job—head of Homeland Security for the Taos area.
Romantic relationship—none. (see job)
Fears—heights, losing those I love, making a mistake that will hurt someone else.
Friends—my co-workers, who I know would be there for me anytime I needed them.
Age—mid 30’s, let’s leave it at that
Favorite movies—anything with a love story in it

Who is your closest relative? 

I only have one relative, my sister Erin. I guess you could say we’re close, though she lives in Texas and I’m here in New Mexico. We talk on the phone at least once a week. She’s very important to me, and I know that I’m important to her. We’re there for each other. That’s what family is about. Right? 

What about your parents? 

I’d rather not talk about my dad—that’s a situation that is difficult to explain. My mom died when Erin and I were still young.

Tell us about your job. 

I’m the head of the Homeland Security office in Taos, New Mexico. I love what I do. I have a very good staff and together we’re a strong team. We’re prepared to handle any type of disaster—nuclear, chemical, biological, conventional . . . anything that threatens our citizens we are ready to step in and take care of.

Describe yourself for our readers. 

I suppose I’m pretty normal looking. I have brown hair, and I’m a normal size. Oh, and I’m in my 30’s, surely you don’t want my exact age.

Any romantic relationship? 

No, not at the moment. My life is my job, which sounds a little sad. It does take a lot of time though, and my hours aren’t really conducive to dating. 


It sounds like you have a good team to work with. 

Yes, I do. There’s one guy who is new—Ben Marshall. I worry about him. I know he can do the job—he’s an explosives expert. But he’s young and ex military. I’m not sure our little town can hold his interest. To be frank, he seems too eager to please. He reminds me of a pup that is overly exuberant. Always in a good mood, always volunteering, you know the type.

Anything that you’re afraid of? 

Heights—I have a somewhat illogical fear of heights. I know, we’re surrounded by mountains, but I’m more afraid of tall bridges, etc. Afraid is too strong a word. They make me uncomfortable.

You started to add something else. 

I suppose my real fear is losing those I love, or making a mistake that will hurt someone else.

What is the main thing in your life? 

My job. Doing it correctly and doing it well so that no one is hurt. I love what I do. Does it show? But some nights I realize that my life has become a little narrow. I should probably get out more, but who has time? 

Favorite hobby? 

I don’t really do hobbies. I know that makes me seem boring. I’m supposed to say para sailing or hang gliding or motorcycle riding. But none of those things interest me. Sorry—I really don’t have any hobbies. You know, I think if you can be satisfied in what you do, if you think it’s making a difference, then that’s okay. Maybe when I’m older I’ll have hobbies.

*As you can tell Dana Jacobs doesn’t exactly have a balanced life, and part of her past—well, it remains tucked away and hidden, which is why Ben Marshall is a confusing addition to her life. He looks at her as if she’s more than his boss, as if she’s important to him in some personal way. And when he brings up his faith? Well, she’d rather not talk about that either.  As long as things keep going smoothly, perhaps she can let the question of faith remain one of those things she’ll think about later. 

I’m so happy to bring you the story HIDDEN, and I pray that it blesses your heart and reminds you of the grace and love of our Father. I would love it if you would give HIDDEN a try! You can read the first few chapters for free at Amazon and also at https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/372737-hidden.
