Stories That Bind Us: (Small-Town Historical Women's… door Susie Finkbeiner

Stories That Bind Us is an emotional rollercoaster! With love, grief, hope, and bittersweet remembrance.

With a lovely writing style Susie Finkbeiner offers a need to read novel set during one of many trying times in our country's past.

From now on Finkbeiner is on my need to read list for all of her books.

If you don't read it for the cover, read it for Hugo!

This book was provided courtesy of Baker Publishing (Revell), through Interviews & Reviews.

All Manner of Things door Susie Finkbeiner

Knowing how a book is going to end and reading it are two different things . . . Oh, gosh, this book!!! *is so crying right now*

Review to come.

***UPDATED WITH REVIEW***
My Review: I can't do my normal break up of a review for this one . . . It is so good, sad, heartbreaking, loving, wonderful and horrible all at the same time. Through the whole book I knew the ending . . . I often know the ending of a book a quarter of the way through but what I didn't see coming was the feelings with this emotional roller coaster of a read.

Every word was filled with a perfect blend of the time surrounding the Vietnam war and a turning point of our country.

I'm amazed at this wonderful piece of artfully woven fiction. Vietnam is something I've been interested in but haven't really looked into, I'm a history nerd I research so much history but I know little of this time and this book makes me want to know more (a plot bunny is spinning in my head as I type this...) And I hope to find more books like this one. It is indeed a need to read for anyone who likes to know more about the war with Vietnam, more recent historical events and Christian fiction. This book is good for anyone 13 up though maybe better for 13/16 since their are details about the war though they are only mentioned and not "shown on screen"...

I still have tears in my eyes from reading this book.

I think my review is done other then mentioning that I received this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review, all the thoughts are my own and I am happy to provide it...… (meer)

Wow! This book blew me away! I loved the story and the characters! Bertha and Flossie are each great in their own ways. Bertha has a dream of playing baseball, and she pursues it. Flossie desperately wants a friend. An unexpected loss sends them reeling, but they rise up and achieve their dreams. I'll admit I did shed some tears, but there was hope amidst the sadness. A definite must read!

A Trail of Crumbs: A Novel of the Great Depression… door Susie Finkbeiner

Weirdly I didn't like this book as much as the first one. I did enjoy reading how Pearl's life continued on but some parts of the book were a little boring. I still want to see what keeps happening in Pearls' life!
