For the first couple of chapters, I wasn’t sure if Bookers on the Rocks was about Mallory (who owns the local bookstore), or Tessa and Ross Booker. Maybe if I had read the others in the series, I would have picked up on that earlier, but I think not knowing added an extra level of […]
Restoring Fairhaven is a powerful read. I couldn’t put it down. The idea of restoration playing out in people’s lives and faith, mirrored by restoring Fairhaven’s gardens was remarkable.

Beth is someone […]

And I think you realize that not by embracing nothing, but by embracing something.” What a delightful, funny, insightful, romantic story by Bethany Turner! Told from first person perspective […]
