Come What Maybe by Kerri Carpenter ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

 

Kerri Carpenter is a new author for me and I really enjoyed this small-town romance.  Come What Maybe is the first book of a new series and I can't wait to read what happens in the future books.  The series is going to follow the lives of three sisters who were raised by a feisty grandmother in the small town of Seaside Cove.  This book is the oldest sister Lauren's story.

The Sound of Light by Sarah Sundin ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

 

The Sound of Light is about the bravery and resilience of the Danish people during WWII as they worked to get Jewish people to safety.  The author has done deep research and it shows on every page.  The characters she's created are very likable people who want to help other people despite the personal danger.
