  13. With raising my three teenage grandsons, a husband looking for work, and lifes little ups and downs, I always look forward to reading a good book and escaping for a short time. But more than that, I like reading the different voices that authors write their stories in....joy, humor, sadness, anger, frustration....it's all part of the adventure of life. Thanks for writing such great books for us to read.

So sorry to hear you have agoraphobia, but I can't think of a better way to spend time indoors than by reading...Heartwarming novels!

  22. I've read Once a Marine by Loree Lough and I enjoyed the story so much! It's hard to comprehend why humans hurt each other.
    My mom is so special to me and has done so very much for all of my siblings. I wish I could take my mom to a spa for the day and hopefully squeeze in a nice lunch. Never would I be able to thank God enough for my mom.
    We like to share books with each other when ever we can get together. So here's a few books that I think we'd both like; the Husband Show, the friendship pack, The Parent Trap, The Truth About Hope, and Fighting for Keeps. So hard to pick. Jenny
