I couldn’t get enough of these ladies and their stories. When I was a pre-teen, while browsing through the fiction section of our local library, I found Victoria Holt, Phyllis Whitney, and Mary Stewart. I loved it when I was able to figure out who the guilty person was early on. What fun it was to join Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys on their mysteries.
Both series had me hooked on the mystery and suspense genre. It was so much fun.įrom the Little House series, I graduated to Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys when I was about eight. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible, but I did create some of the adventures Laura and her family had with my sister. I wanted to go back in time and live on the prairie. I think I read it in a day and then every single one of the other books in the series multiple times. Our school library was tiny, but I remember finding the Little House on The Prairie series and I was so excited to read Little House in The Big Woods. All the grades from elementary to high school were on one campus. Growing up, we lived in a small town of around 1,000 people. Flawed heroes and heroines, and the absolute greatest love story ever written displayed by God’s love for his creation which was manifested by Jesus stepping into history to redeem us-what an amazing love. There’s action, adventure, danger, and second chances contained in the word of God. One of the first books I remember reading was a Children’s Bible. When summer rolled around, I was in heaven! Ha! Of course, I kid, but the desire to read was instilled in me very early in life.Īs a little girl, I couldn’t wait for school to be over so that I could lose myself in a good book.
I sometimes wonder if I were born with one in my hand. The opinions I express are my own and I was not influenced.By Mary Alford can’t tell you when I first started reading, but it always seemed as if I had my face stuck in a book. I was given a copy from Revell Publishing. If you would like to purchase your own copy: This is a great book to get lost in for the evening or afternoon or while sitting at a doctor appointment waiting to be seen or anywhere you have to sit and wait.
It also has a bit of romance, but not too much. This is one of those types of detective stories I also love that it includes Amish culture and other interesting elements that help you along the journey of discovery who and why the person murdered the family. I love stories that are centered around strong women who fight back and who find themselves along the way. This is a chaotic, traumatic, and intriguing book that I enjoyed. They thought they caught the guy, but turns out it was not the guy they thought it was. This is about a woman whose family was murdered and she was spared. Another detective mystery called Among the Innocent by Mary Alford.
