A Tailor-Made Bride, by Christian Fiction author, Karen Witemeyer
This book is a warmhearted historical romance with a flair for humor, feisty heroines, and swoon-worthy Texas heroes. It’s a lively historical romance set in 1880s Texas; sparks fly when a dressmaker who values beauty tangles with a liveryman who condemns vanity.

Mustard Seed, by Laila Ibrahim
This is book two in the Yellow Crocus series. Although it’s a stand-alone book, we recommend you read book one, Yellow Crocus, to really enjoy book two. It is a historical fiction story that takes place in Virginia, Post-Civil War period. The story continues with the lives of Mattie, Lizbeth and Jordon. Three women returning to the plantation they once called home. A haunting and tender story that is also a real page turner.

If I Were You, by eight-time Christy Award winning author, Lynn Austin
A remarkable novel of sisterhood and self-discovery set against the backdrop of WWII. It transports the reader to one of the most challenging eras of history. Explores the deep, abiding power of faith and friendship.
Happy Reading Everyone!
