Gidget Goes Reviewing: A Good and Perfect Gift by Amy Julia Becker

A Good and Perfect Gift by Amy Julia Becker is an awesome read that is a great reminder that all children are a gift from God…a good and perfect gift.  This is the true story of Amy Julia and her daughter, Penny.  Amy Julia’s world is shattered when her daughter is born with Down Syndrome but time and God soon teach her that every child is a good and perfect gift from above.  This book made me laugh and it made me cry.  It made me hurt for the babies who are sent to their deaths because they’re not perfect in the eyes of the world.  Amy Julia gives readers a great view of life with a child who has special needs, both the good and the hard.  I highly recommend A Good and Perfect Gift for anyone from teens to older adults.

Gidget Goes Reviewing: The Mercy by Beverly Lewis

The Mercy is the final installment of The Rose trilogy by Beverly Lewis.  This book provides the end of a wonderful tale of two sisters.  It brings a delightful ending to a story of love, love lost, friendship, and family.  This story took me for a wonderful ride.  I knew where the story just HAD to go but had no idea how Ms. Lewis would get me there.  I was both surprised and satisfied with the final installment that I had been waiting for with great anticipation.  Without giving the story away, the ending was no surprise but the curves thrown and corners that were rounded were wonderful!  This book, this entire trilogy is a must read for those who love a good Amish tale.

Book review: An Unlikely Suitor

A few months ago I received a copy of An Unlikely Suitor, a novel by Nancy Moser.  Unfortunately, due to circumstances, I was just able to read this book this week.  I wish I had been able to read it sooner! 

In An Unlikely Suitor, Ms. Moser takes the reader back to another time and place.  While she expertly creates a picture of the poor of New York City in the late 1800s, she also recreates the magic of Newport, RI during the same time.  The beginnings of three couples were beautifully woven together seamlessly.  The author brought both the society of the time and the fashions of the time to life!

This book was very easy to read and a very enjoyable read to escape reality for a while.  I read it while on vacation with my family in the mountains and felt it was a perfect vacation get-away.  This is a great book for everyone from teens to more mature audiences who love historical romance.
