Treasuring Emma

Treasuring Emma: A Middlefield Family Novel, looks at the life of Emma, and the difficulties she has been facing. Emma’s mother recently died, and she is now responsible for her home she resides at along with her grandfather. Although she was once in love with a man named Adam, he left the Amish faith and Emma found herself without her best friend. When Adam returns to town, the difficulties in Emma’s life escalate as a stranger attempts to manipulate her and those in her family.

I really enjoyed this book since it wasn’t a typical Amish book. It had suspense, mystery, romance, and, most of all, faith. I liked learning about the relationship between Emma and her sister, Clara. I understand what it is like to not always get along the best with your siblings, but I appreciate how these two sisters work through their problems.

A Place Called Blessing

I recently read A Place Called Blessing, Where Hurting Ends and Love Begins which was written by John Trent and Annette Smith. This book was an emotional read which looks at brothers who are placed in foster homes and separated from one another after their parents die in a drunk-driving accident. The book specifically focuses on Josh when his two older brothers are adopted, but he does not have the same experience. Josh struggles throughout his life, but he eventually has people come into his life who change his future.

This book was a very short read, and I enjoyed it a lot. I was able to read the book in the span of a weekend, and the book seemed so realistic and extremely believable. Although this is the first book I have read by John Trent, I will definitely be looking for more of his books in the future.
