I also finished a book that I enjoyed reading.... The Frontiersman's Daughter... By Laura Franz
Lovely but tough as nails, Lael Click is the daughter of a celebrated frontiersman. Haunted by her father's former captivity with the Shawnee Indians, as well as the secret sins of her family's past, Lael comes of age in the fragile Kentucky settlement her father founded.
Though she faces the loss of a childhood love, a dangerous family feud, and the affection of a Shawnee warrior, Lael draws strength from the rugged land she calls home, and from Ma Horn, a distant relative who shows her the healing ways of herbs and roots found in the hills.
But the arrival of an outlander doctor threatens her view of the world, God, and herself--and the power of grace and redemption. This epic novel gives readers a glimpse into the simple yet daring lives of the pioneers who first crossed the Appalachians, all through the courageous eyes of a determined young woman.
Laura Frantz's debut novel offers a feast for readers of historical fiction and romance lovers alike.

I also wanted to share about a movie I just watched... BBC's North & South. Anyone that is a fan of Jane Austen will love this one.... If your anything like me... have the box of tissues handy.... Based on the novel by Elizabeth Gaskell & starring the very handsome Richard Armitage.... It's a keeper!
Hope all of you have a Beautiful Day Today! Sweet Blessings ~ T ♥
T, sounds like you've been having fun! Is it getting cooler up there? Our weather is so out of whack these days, I never know what the weather will be from one day to the next - they say it's another El Nino year!
ReplyDeleteI just go caught up with the laundry from our trip, and today I'm starting on my office/studio, trying to get it cleaned and organized (yeah, right!) so I can actually MAKE something. Wish me luck with that one!
Enjoy your movie tonight! B.
Thanks for the recommendations! I just flipped thru that Essentially French book over the weekend as a friend of mine has it, and I really thought it was good! Happy Wednesday to you...

Isn't it great to relax with a bit of reading. My bedtime book at the moment is "What's Math Got to do With it?" How Parents and Teachers can Help Children Learn to Love Their Least Favorite Subject, by Jo Boaler. Haha, my hubby works at University as a Math Educator and asked me to read it and give my feedback, nice that he appreciates my opinion I guess. I would much rather curl up with a stack of magazines like the ones pictured, I can't get enough of them...sometimes I worry that I'm getting a bit obsessive but then I'm just appreciating the creativity God has given...right?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
