The Green Dress

"The Green Dress"

By

Liq Tolsma

My first thought about this book after reading the description was can this really be a True Crime.  This a great addition to the "True Colors" series. This book is a book with suspense, wonder and love. It's a page turner a very hard to put down.

The Green Dress is set in Boston in the 1880. The story is about a sinister plot to kill off family members. The author wrote a well written book. I spend a lot of time wondering what's next, who is doing it and especially  when the green dress would come into the story.  There were several night's that I would get up to read the book!

Favorite quote: "None of us know what life is going to bring from day to day. We just live and walk in God's Grace through it all.

I give this book a give it a 5 🌟

I will highly recommend this book to family and friends on Facebook,Bookbud, Amazon, Barnes and noble, and Goodreads.

Standoff

(Natchez Trace Park Ranger, Book 1)

By

Patricia Bradley

     If you love a book with suspense, intrigue and romance, this is a page turner for you.  I just love a book that catches my eye from the cover to the very first page.  I spent most of the book wondering what's going to happen next and "WHO" did it!

     Patricia Bradley made the characters likable. The main character is Brooke, a Natchez park ranger, whom is investigating the death of her father.  There was also Luke a childhood friend, whom just came back to town after being gone for 14 years.  There's also Jeremy, he's goal is to move up in politics.  Both men have a secret they are trying to keep from Brooke. 
     Get the book and find out what the secrets are and see all the twist and turns for yourself!

I'm giving this book a 5 out of 5

The White Rose Resists by Amanda Barratt

Synopsis : The ideal of a new Germany swept up Sophie Scholl in a maelstrom of patriotic fervor - - that is, until she realized the truth behind Hitler's machinations for the fatherland.  Now she and other student's in Munich, the cradle of the Nazi government, have banded together to form a group to fight for the truth: the White Rose.  Risking everything to print and distribution leaflets calling Germans to ride up against the evil permeating their country, the White Rose threads a knives edge of discovery by the Gestapo.

My Thought's : I have to begin by saying, this book about Sophie Scholl was a page turner, remarkable story line and intriguing. the book isn't just about Sophie, but about a group of friends. The author is able to make you feel like you are part of the book. What a remarkable group of young people whom had the courage to stand up for what they believed in. To go against the most horrible man in history.  To know what might happen to them if they were caught. They stood on their beliefs, with God as their anchor.

Thinking through this book, I don't know if I would have been able to do what they did. Would I be able to stand up for what I believe and know that no matter how hard thing's got God is with me and has a plan for everything.

Recommend :  I will recommend this book to friend's and family though Amazon, Bookbud, Netgalley, Barnes and Noble, Facebook, Goodread and my blog.

Rating : 5 out of 5

His Lady in Hiding

By

Jen Geigle Johnson

I have to start out by saying this is the first book by Jen Geigle Johnson I've read and it defiantly will not be the last.  This book was a great page turner with several twist and turns. The story just pulls you in to the point you are wondering "What's Next".  "His Lady in Hiding" is a great regency period piece.  The main characters are very likable. The only negative part was I didn't want the story to end.

I will recommend this book to other's

Rating is 5 out of 5

 "A Letter From Munich"

 by

Meg Lelvis

What a gripping page turner!

 "A Letter From Munich" by Meg Lelvis  was a great story that starts out in 2012, where two brothers found a letter to their father at the end of WWII from a women in Munich. Will this letter explain why their dad was a different man when he came back home from the war. The letter held questions that needed to be answered. The only way to find the answers was to go to Germany and find Ariane.  What will Jack Bailey find in Germany? What will be learn about the liberation of Dachau?

This is a well researched book. It opened my eyes about what the war must have been like. This is the first book by Meg Lelvis I've read and t will not be the last.

I highly recommend this book to anyone whom like a great historical book!

I am rating this book with a 5 out of 5

 "When I Meet You" 
By
Olivia Newport

                      

Synopsis - A trunk abandoned at Denver's Union Station more than a century ago leads Jillian and Nolan to untangle the mystery on its content, which is with Pinkerton's National Detective agency at the Denver office. Nolan research the legal papers, which was found inside, while Jillian looks for the rightful owners.

My thoughts - Another great mystery with Nolan and Jillian, father and daughter team. "When I Meet you" by Olivia Newport was a wonderful addition to the "Tree of Life" series.  This is a stand alone book but I really enjoyed reading them in order.  The character's were well written and so likable. I was pulled into the story from the very first page.  I have to say that my favorite part is the relationship between Nolan and Jillian.  They both have a part to do. Nolan on the legal side and Jillian on the research side. I love the whole aspect of the genealogy aspect of the story.

I will gladly recommend this book to other's.

My rating is a five out of five.

The international adoption had one requirement and that was to stay single for the foreseeable future. This wasn't a problem till Joshua came into the picture.  Joshua had a passion for creating educational technology as fascinating as his actions in the classroom.
