A Hallmark story

A Cottage Wedding by Leigh Duncan is the second book in the Hearts Landing series. A charming, delightful story about finding love.

Jason Heart is the owner of the Captain's Cottage, a wedding destination set in Rhode Island. Jason has a commitment to making every wedding special and will do whatever it takes to make the bride and grooms day a success. Senior editor Regina Charm is set to come to Hearts Landing for her review for the Weddings Today top spot. After Regina's wedding fell apart, she decides to send Tara Stewart to expose the truth behind the myths. But Tara has trouble from the start. She finds everything in Hearts Landing to be beyond what she expected. She combs the archives, looking for any discrepancy that would dethrone Hearts Landing as the number one wedding destination.

But Jason becomes her tour guide and as they are thrown together time and time again, they find themselves instantly attracted to one another.

I have so enjoyed the Hallmark books, this one being the second one to The Simple Wedding.  Leigh Duncan is a master story teller as she weaves feelings and sentiments throughout the story. Her characters are well rounded and the secondary characters add much to the tale.A sweet clean story that makes you want to come back for more.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Hallmark Publishing and NetGalley. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

Answers to questions

A couple of you have asked about the state of the trailer and my hubby. As I am not able to contact you via email (no reply and a rejected email) Here is the answer.

My hubby hasn't had any issues with the trailer. But if you have been reading my blog for a while, you will remember that he had some health issues a couple of years ago. And again in January where he actually passed out while driving his truck. Thankfully he had a friend with him who grabbed the wheel and they were able to get the truck to the side of the road. So the issues are more about his concern with something happening while pulling the trailer. We have loved and enjoyed our trailer. It is comfortable and large enough for my big guy. Yet it is streamline to drive. We can park it in places the other big rigs have trouble with.

So don't be afraid to go for a trailer. Just find the one you like. We picked the Airstream because they hold their value and don't leak.

 

Hope this answers your questions. 

Back home again

We recently took a trip to Georgia. It will probably be our last trip with our trailer. We have decided that it is too much work for my hubby at this time in our lives.

 But as we traveled through Georgia, we stopped in one of my favorite quilt shops along the way.

Birdhouse Quilts  is such a sweet shop and the people are always so friendly. And it's right off Interstate 75.

I spied this little quilt hanging between the rows, and I just had to have a little bit of fabric.

Isn't it sweet?

Happy Quilting!

p.s. If anyone is interested in a 2008 Airstream, give me a shout out.

The Librarian of Boone's Hollow

As the weeks have drawn on with sheltering in place, I have found that I have had more time to read and review books.

The Librarian of Boone's Hollow by author Kim Vogel Sawyer, is a story following the Pack Horse Library Project,the real-life WPA program that was developed in the 1930s-1940s. Taking books into the Appalachian coal mining country.

Addie Cowherd finds herself dismissed from the University of Kentucky with only weeks from graduation. Her parents aren't paying tuition. She must put aside her dream of being an author and leave the school to find a job to pay the bill and help her family. 

Upon graduation, Emmett Tharp finds he is unable to get a job with his new degree in commerce. When all else fails, he finds himself working in the coal mines along with his father.

The Appalachian communities are steeped in prejudice and superstitions. But as Addie befriends Nanny Fay, the truth finds its way out in the open. Bettina Webber's life is one of pain and rejection, yet she finds her way by letting go of her prejudice.

This story covers lessons in family, prejudice, and forgiveness. Sawyer weaves faith throughout as each character finds their reliance on God.

"Books, Addie, have the power to change people for the better."  That was precisely the goal of the WPA program. Sawyer's research and writing encapsulated the spirit of the time. I think you will find this to be an intriguing heartwarming read.

I received a copy of the book from WaterBrook & Multnomah via Net Galley. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
