A NOTE FROM CINDY ~For all book lovers, on this blog spot I post information of a recently released book written by a Christian author I know. Unless stated otherwise, I haven’t read the book yet. I have two books to share with you this week.

Sweet Caroline

By Rachel Hauck

When a Southern waitress inherits the Lowcountry cafe where she works, she suddenly has to balance more than just her next food order.

Caroline Sweeney has always done the right thing–the responsible, dependable thing–unlike her mother who abandoned her family. But when her best friend challenges her to accept an exciting job adventure in Barcelona, Spain, Caroline says “yes” to destiny.

Then, without warning, ownership of the run-down cafe where she’s been waitressing falls right into Caroline’s lap. While she’s trying to determine the cafe’s future, handsome Deputy Sherriff J.D. Rand captures Caroline’s heart.

But when her first love, Mitch O’Neal, comes back to town, fresh from the heat of his newly-found fame as a country music singer in Nashville, Caroline must make some hard choices about love and the pursuit of the sweet life.

“Hauck’s adorable novel contains the multi-layered characters readers have come to expect from her books. The enjoyable story and unpredictable ending entertains and offers much to think about.” - 4.5 Stars, Melissa Parcel, Romantic Times Book Club

Every Secret Thing

by Ann Tatlock

Every Secret Thing is the story of a woman who returns home after many years away. Beth Gunnar hasn’t lived in Delaware since high school graduation, but when she’s offered a teaching job at Seaton Preparatory School–her alma mater–she accepts. Once there, she’s faced with an unresolved loss that she and her friends experienced during their senior year. She realizes that the suicide of a favorite teacher has haunted her all her life, and she wants to find out the truth about what happened that night. There’s a little bit of mystery and a little bit of romance, and ultimately it’s a story of faith and reconciliation.

“Intelligent, introspective, and beautifully, hauntingly written.”

     - Tom Morrisey, author of In High Place

“The gritty tale will have readers cheering for Steve as he desperately tries to put the pieces of his life back together. The scenes and characters jump off the page to create a startling, emotionally stirring story.” ~ Romantic Times

 
The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Decked Out (#7 in the Yada Yada series)
 
By Neta Jackson
 
Turkey dinners, tree trimming, and decking the halls–it’s that time of year again! And I, Jodi Baxter, can’t wait to celebrate. My kids are coming home for the holidays, and then all of us Yadas are getting decked out for a big New Year’s party.
 
But God’s idea of “decked out” might just change the nature of our party plans. A perplexing encounter with a former student, a crime that literally knocks me off my feet, a hurry-up wedding, and a child who will forever change our family . . . it’s times like these that I really need my prayer sisters.
