No one knows where his mother went or whether she's coming back. Desperate to see her again, he must take matters into his own hands.

To Stella, it sort of evens out, and heck, the Klan hasn't bothered them for years. But one late night, later than she should ever be up, much less wandering around outside, Stella and her little brother see something they're never supposed to see, something that is the first flicker of change to come, unwelcome change by any stretch of the imagination.

Number-one best-selling author Leslie Gould delivers a new Amish romance series. When Amish farmer Pete Treger moves to Paradise Township, Pennsylvania, seeking a better life, he meets sisters Cate and Betsy Miller. Both are beautiful, but older sister Cate is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Betsy, on the other hand, is sweet and flirty - and seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County! However, the sisters' wealthy father has made one hard and fast rule: Elder sister must marry first, before the younger can even start courting.

Twenty-one-year-old Rebecca Hardin is determined to help provide for her family, living a hardscrabble life in 1910 in the Southern Kentucky hills. Her brother, Andy, died when he became lost in a cave five years earlier, and Rebecca feels responsible for his death because she'd told him to "go, get lost".

It is 1936 and Kate Merritt works hard to keep her family together. Her father has slipped into alcoholism, her mother is trying to come to grips with their dire financial situation, and her sisters seem to remain blissfully oblivious to all of it.

Historic Years. of the Dust Bowl
Educational and enjoyable time, listening to a fine story by Jennifer McMurrain and good performance of Quail Crossing, by Lia Fredrick. Set in Texas during the despair from the Dust Bowl of the 1930's, Jennifer McMurrain creates a story of poverty, romance and gratefulness. Four abandoned children left to fend for themselves in Texas are taken in by by a desperate farmer, Jim and his recently widowed daughter, Dovie, who is grieving the loss of both her daughter and husband. The oldest kid, Bill, is 18. He along with his two sisters and little brother are willing to work for room and board. The story winds around the boys falling in love, sister Evelyn, who does everything she can to have her family rejected, because she wants to follow her parents to California and little Alice falling in love with everyone and everything about their new home and family. The story references Christianity often, as an imbedded culture in the panhandle of Texas. It's a clean, sweet story that's hard to find any negatives about. Each of the six main characters are fully developed by the author and they each have unique personalities. I'm looking forward to the other books in the series.

The Depression, Dust Bowl, Loss and Love
In Knollwood, Texas in the 1930s, Dovie Grant, living on the farm with her father and mourning the loss of her husband and daughter, has closed herself off to others. So when James, her father hires a young 18 year old boy who is caring for his three younger siblings to help on the farm, Dovie wants nothing to do with it. The youngest, Alice befriends the ornery goose, Norman, and from the time they meet, Alice and "Mr. Norman" are inseparable. While Bill, the oldest, Elmer, and Alice work hard and adjust to life on the farm, Evie, the oldest girl, tries to make trouble and wants to go on a search for their parents . . . who abandoned them. When Alice begins to call Dovie "Mama Dovie", Evie comes unglued. Quail Crossings is a good story of a different time, a time of pulling together, working hard on the family farm, of discipline and of faith in God . . . hardship was a way of life . . . many Americans cannot fathom such a time as this . . . Quail Crossings will restore your hope and faith . . . don't miss it . . .
