Over on my social media pages, I’m sharing with you some of the books that I absolutely love and this week is all about those books that I think about often.
Over the next several weeks, I’ll be doing, well, I suppose you could call it a kind of series. I’ll be sharing videos where I talk about books I love, with a different focus or theme, each time. I’m also sharing blog posts on those same books. If I’ve already written a review on the book, I’ll link it! This is meant to be a quick way to get to know me a little bit more – and these blog posts will be short reads! You’re welcome!
The focus is very specifically, on Lori Wick and Janette Oke books that I grew up reading. I’ll definitely share other favorites from my growing-up years but this is it for now =)
I probably started reading these around twelve or thirteen years old.
Where the Wild Rose Blooms by Lori Wick – published in 1996. Just when love blooms between young Clayton and Jackie, tragedy strikes. How can Jackie tell Clayton the truth when it could ruin everything?
A Woman Named Damaris by Janette Oke – published in 1991. The idea of living away from her drunk, abusive father grows in fifteen-year old Damaris’ mind and one day, with her mother’s love and two family heirlooms, she makes her getaway.
Roses for Mama by Janette Oke – published in 1991. Angela and Thomas struggle to care for and raise their younger siblings after their parents died. The responsibility seems to grow harder as Angela works to raise them how their mother would have wanted.
A Gown of Spanish Lace by Janette Oke – published in 1995. When Arianna is suddenly kidnapped and the boss’ son set to guard her, she fears for her life and future.
the start of a good life
