The Amish Baby Finds A Home

Title: The Amish Baby Finds a Home

Series: Hearts of Lancaster County #2

Author: Barbara Cameron

Publisher: Forever

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Romance

My Review:

While this is the second book in the Hearts of Lancaster County series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel. I would recommend going back and reading the first book, The Amish Midwife's Hope, before beginning this one. I did not read the first book and feel that I would have enjoyed this story, even more, had I read it first.

The Legend of the Stinky Sock

The Legend of the Stinky Sock

 Title: The Legend of the Stinky Sock

Author: Laura Riley

Genre: Children's Fiction

My Review:

 The title is what caught my attention of The Legend of the Stinky Sock. I thought it was clever and funny and wanted to read to see what it was about. The author is Laura Riley. Laura is a children's book author and stay-at-home mom. She currently lives in the Dallas area with her husband Patrick and her children. She was motivated to write her first book as the result of teaching her first grader how to compose his own story for a school project. His excitement and creativity encouraged her to complete a lifelong dream to write a book.
