Mending fences

Mending fences, by Suzanne woods fisher. Luke has just completed his rehab and now is looking at making  restitution to those he hurt with his carelessness. A four page list of people he needs to go apologize to and hear how his actions caused them pain and trouble is what lays in front of him. He soon learns when he starts his list that this isn’t going to be easy. The hurt he caused was very real. Izzy is also housing in the same house as Lune, but things don’t hit off between them right away.  Izzy isn’t taken by Luke and he quickly learns he’s going to have to earn her trust. So Luke does what he can to prove to Izzy that he’s a good guy and changed.
   I love love love Suzanne woods fisher’s novels! She does just an amazing and honerable job writing about the Amish people. She is one of my favourite authors of this genre. There are so many biblical themes throughout this novel, grace, redemption, forgiveness, etc. The best Christian novels leave you feeling like you learned something about father God, and this one does just that. Definitely a story I’ll remember and cherish.

We hope for better things

We hope for better things, Erin Bartels. In this novel we see the story unfold of three generations of the same family. We live in present day with Elizabeth as she struggles through loosing her job, but gets an interesting offer that may be useful to catapult her career again. All she has to do is agree to give photos to her elderly aunt. Next we travel back in time with Norah, and finally Mary. Finding how their stories all intertwine. We read about the racism of the time and the consequences of it.
   I really enjoyed this book. I adore story’s that have a historical component to them, this fit right in with that. It covered such a real topic like racism and made me think, feel, and want to not put this book down. Such a good book. From what I can understand this is the authors debute novel? Wow so good! So well done!!
