Review: Unplanned - Book #1 Kennedy Stern Series - Alana Terry - May 2015 This book was a timely read as I was scrolling last weekend through my kindle and came across this book, not knowing what it was about - I clicked into it. Turns out that Unplanned by Alana Terry was a CF edgy Teen/NA series featuring a young college girl Kennedy Stern. Why this book was timely, is that the day I read this book was the beginning of the Roe vs Wade case being overturned which as a result is making abortions in some states illegal and considered murder - just as if they had killed someone walking down the street. Myself, I am pro-life but I do acknowledge that there are a few cases where abortion in my mind is an acceptable course of action.

      Review: The Clothes Line - Book #4 The Amish of Ephrata Series - Sarah Price - November 2013  Finally, it seems that Priscilla and Stephen can live their newly married life in peace and away from scandals and lies since Susie and her family were told they were no longer welcome in their community's church as Susie had told one too many lies and pushed the Bishop over his threshold and refused to let her take her vows to prepare her for the next level.

Review: The Quilting Bee - Book #2 The Amish of Ephrata Series - Sarah Price - August 2012 After reading The Tomato Patch by Sarah Price, I found myself wanting more of this series as The Tomato Patch spoke to me and touched on the subject of bullying which is quite close to my heart. In the Quilting Bee, it seems that Priscilla is still doing her best to ignore Susie Byler and is happy with her courtship with Stephen. That is until one day when Priscilla and her older brother Jonas head to the market to pick apples and Priscilla sees Susie in Stephen's buggy. She is confused as Stephen is very godly and wouldn't hurt her not intentionally.
