The Water Keeper by Charles Martin. I usually read three or four books at the same time, picking up a different one, laying it down, picking up another. This is one of the few books I’ve read that I couldn’t lay down. A story of love, of god’s love, of broken people racing to rescue other people from horrific crime. Of broken people being made new.
Calm in the Mountain Storm by Misty M. Beller. Misty
and I were critique partners some years ago, giving each other assistance and
suggestions for our writing. Since then, Misty has written many books, about
the Western US and the mountains. This is one of those books, filled with
lovely descriptions of the mountains, adventure, faith. Misty M. Beller is an
author you will learn to love.
Invisible by Lorena McCourtney. I have found a
delightful new series. A cozy mystery where the sleuth is a little old lady,
LOL she calls herself. She trusts in God, can never pass up an opportunity to
sniff out a mystery, and has a delightfully fun and funny bunch of friends.
The emerald tide by T. Davis Bunn. Another book by an
author I have so much respect for. Quality writing, depth of characters.
Beautiful descriptions of very different communities in California and in
Italy. Romance and suspense dealing with centuries-old paintings and ancient
treasure.
Midnight on the Scottish Shore by Sarah Sundin.
World War II in Scotland. Includes danger, faith, beautiful descriptions of
Scotland, Romance, double agents, family turmoil, personal sacrifice.
A few days full of trouble: revelations on the journey to justice for my cousin and best friend, Emmett Till by Wheeler Parker and Chris Benson. Fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was lynched, beaten and murdered in 1955. In this book his cousin, who was with Emmett in Mississippi right up to the moment he was kidnapped, tells a powerful story. From the beginning he tells what he witnessed; describes the murder trial; goes through years of Emmett’s effect on civil Rights activism and laws against racism and racial crime. He gives detailed explanations of Emmett Till’s case being reopened in the early 2000s and starting over again in 2017. This is a long, carefully detailed book, worthy of studying.
