The Walnut Creek Wish by Wanda E. Brunstetter is about a middle-aged married couple (Jeff and Rhonda) who move from Canton, Ohio to Amish country and find friendship with an Amish couple (Orley and Lois) who run an Antique Shop and point Jeff and Rhonda to the Lord. Jeff is a restaurant owner and Rhonda manages a hotel. Both have turned away from God because of unanswered prayers in the past and have hardened their hearts. It's a good Christian fiction story and has discussion questions in the back. I liked all the characters. (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"Hope Restored" by Jonathan and Jennifer Barratt
Hope Restored by Jonathan and Jennifer Barratt is a collection of short true stories of different women or children who have been rescued from abuse and sexual slavery by Project Rescue workers. This booklet was very enlightening for me. It tells about giving people hope and a new direction for their lives through the power of God. (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"The Plot" by Jean Hanff Korelitz (Series Book 1)
In The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz, Jake wanted to write a big best-seller book for a long time, but he found out it wasn't easy. Then one day he is praised as a great writer and is famous. However, fame is fleeting as Jake is about to discover. I thought this book was very good. It has a great storyline and interesting characters. I wish I had The Sequel to read right now!

"The Boys of Riverside" by Thomas Fuller
The Boys of Riverside by Thomas Fuller is about a deaf football team from California. I enjoyed getting to know the players and the coaches who are also deaf. I learned a lot about what it means to be deaf, but there is plenty of football too. This is a good read for football season! (Gerard's review, 4 stars)
