Giving Tuesday!
What non-profits or charities do you support? I love that we are all nudged to help others in our own unique ways. Foster care is something I’ve talked about on here often. It’s a cause that will forever be dear to my heart. This year I decided to highlight another need and a way you ... Read More about Giving Tuesday!

question:
I’m so sorry that I didn’t see this.
I’m an eclectic reader. I enjoy and appreciate most any genre (when it’s done well). I enjoy classics from authors like Brontë and Gaskell. Historical fiction by authors like Julie Klassen and Nancy Turner (These See Full Answer |

"This is a sweet, clean, historical romance with a Beauty and the Beast feel. Faith in God is mentioned several times in this book, but there is not a heavy theme of religion. This was a very cute slow burn novel and an easy read. "

3.5 I've been told this is essential reading for every writer. I don't regret reading it, but wasn't as captured by it as I wanted to be. Maybe my expectations were just too high. ...more |

“I'm not sure we ever learn to live without those we love. I think Margaret may be right. The secret is to learn to live with them as nearby as we can keep them. My parents are dead and my sister is in Beckford. I miss them every day. Only now am I learning the right way to remember them.”

“Dear girl, face whatever it is. You’ve been brave already. You’ve come here on your own. Only a brave soul would do that. Be brave again. Be brave until the end. You can’t go back and undo this. It’s one of the harsh realities of this life. If I could I’d go back and unsay every harsh word I’ve ever uttered. But I can’t—and you can’t change the past either. Look ahead.”

“Yes, Em, your freckles are perfect. Looks are a funny thing, very peculiar. Never waste any time disliking the ones you have. The right person will think they are the very definition of beautiful.”

“Does she bring you happiness, make you laugh?" Gideon had asked. When Caleb confessed that she did, his father then asked, "Do you like who you are when you are with her?" Again Caleb answered in the affirmative. He confessed she was not what he had planned, that at first she was just a case to solve.
Then his father said something Caleb couldn't get out of his head. "Our whole lives people try to tell us what beautiful is. As young boys we think we know exactly which women are the loveliest. Then we meet one who doesn't fit the mold and we know we were taught wrong our whole lives." While his pa talked, Caleb envisioned Em's freckled face. "Beauty is something we get to define. We may not see it right away, but when we do, we have trouble remembering the other definition. We wonder how we were ever to misled. All we can see is the one person who defines it for us."
Then his father put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't let anyone else decide which kind of beautiful is right for you. You find a girl who brings out the best in you. Who you can see a happy future with. That's your kind of beautiful.”

“Fighting a battle with the earth seems like a plenty noble calling to me. Putting food on your table and on the plates of others - it's a quieter way. But it's a good way.”
