The Hope Chest (The Amish of Ephrata: An Amish Novella on Morality)

Review: The Hope Chest - Book #3 The Amish of Ephrata Series - Sarah Price - January 2013

It's interesting as I come to write this review as I feel I need to try and be a bit like the main character Priscilla as in real life, I deal with my own Susie character. In The Hope Chest, we read as Priscilla is quickly filling up her chest the past winter with crocheted tablecloths, her quilt from The Quilting Bee, pot holders, etc. Every couple of days, she sneaks up to the attic and admires it. Her relationship with Stephen is going well and it seems like Priscilla is ready to take her biblical vows and become a fully-fledged member of the Amish community and she has been allowed of a lifetime by the local Bishop Zook to be a relief teacher at their schoolhouse as the current teacher has broken her leg. Life is looking up for Priscilla, that is once again, Susie - the bane of Priscilla's existence starts to stir trouble up once again for Priscilla by spreading her usual lies but in The Hope Chest, she takes it a step further by printing slander about not only Priscilla but also Stephen in the local Amish news. Taking it out on Priscilla is one thing but how will Priscilla and Stephen's courtship go when Susie starts to add him to her list of victims of lies. Can Priscilla and Stephen remain strong in the Lord and prove to the community that their love is faithful and reliant on God's love and strength? Will Susie finally get what is coming to her as this time her lies and bullying go to a new level?
Find out in The Hope Chest by Sarah Price, Book #3 of The Amish of Ephrata series. The Perfect read for any YA reader.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
