In The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan, Frida is going through a rough time. She has her daughter, Harriet, and that is enough for now. Unfortunately, Frida makes a big mistake and has to prove she is a good mother in a government reform program or she will lose all rights to her daughter. This is good stuff! Frida was a good character and the storyline kept me engaged with a good ending. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"The Love of My Life" by Rosie Walsh
In The Love of My Life by Rosie Walsh, Leo is married to Emma. They have a daughter, a dog and a good life. Leo writes obituaries for a local paper. When Emma has health problems, Leo looks into Emma's life. It turns out Leo does not know his wife as well as he thought! This book was okay because the storyline and ending were good and I enjoyed the characters; however, it needed more action or at least some twists and turns. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"The One Year Daily Acts of Kindness Devotional"
The One Year Daily Acts of Kindness Devotional contains 365 inspiring ideas to reveal, give, and find God's love written by three women: Julie Fisk, Kendra Roehl and Kristin Demery. I enjoyed this book very much for several reasons. Each devotional is just one page so it didn't take much time to read so was easy to keep up doing. I also liked the different examples each author shared from their personal lives showing a specific kind act. Each devotional had a verse to go with it as well as an action step to take. This was a very practical devotional book focusing on being kind to others. (Karen's review, 4 stars)
