Book Review: Unclaimed
Unclaimed (The Memoirs of Jane E, Friendless Orphan, Book 1) is a brave and thought-provoking story rich with vivid details and authentic, memorable characters. While very different from the fiction I normally read, this novel is a highly creative and successful blending of genres. It’s like a futuristic coming-of-age Jane Eyre in a dystopian world. As the story
Book Review: A Soldier Surrenders
A Soldier Surrenders by Susan Peek is an incredible story about Saint Camillus de Lellis, a great sinner of the 1500s who became a great saint.

Book Review: The Search for the Madonna
It’s always a pleasure to read a novel by the talented Donna Alice Patton. Woven into her stories are enticing themes of mystery, suspense, faith, hope, and trust. The Search for the Madonna incorporates all these elements in an adventure story for girls. It reminds me of an American Girl novel, but longer, with more
