Tidewater Bride Review



 Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve done a review. With the holidays, I took some time off, but now I’m planning on being back for 2021 reviews! 

First up is Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz. Frantz starts us out with a scenario that was new to me about tobacco brides. I love the way Frantz intertwines lesser known history with the story line to not only be interesting to the reader, but also spur interest into the time period. 

Frantz has a great plot line as well as fascinating character building. The reader is carried along on an adventure back in time by the mere action of opening a book and reading!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Childhood Review and Giveaway!

In Childhood, we are able to see into the “beginning of the story” so to speak, and see where the main  characters in Greg Schaffer’s upcoming full length novel Fatherhood are coming from. I like the fact that we see into the backgrounds - a lot of times when we don’t know the background of someone, we are quick to judge rather than feel compassion. I’m looking forward to reading Farherhood when it comes out! About the Book Book:   Childhood Author:  Greg Schaffer Genre:   Contemporary Release Date:  February 10, 2020 Katie lived a lonely childhood, her after school time filled with responsibilities to her father and special needs brother.
