Almost Forever - A Hanover Falls Novel

Almost Forever by Deborah Raney

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Bryn, wife of firefighter Adam, was working at the homeless shelter, the night it caught on fire and burned to the ground - taking the life of Adam and four other firefighters. As the weeks wear on, and Bryn and the little town she's from tries to recover from that devastating night, Bryn can't remember if she snuffed out the candle in the staff room before she left to play cards with one of the shelter's residents. Has she buried the memory to protect herself?



A heartbreaking story of easily made mistakes and hard to give forgiveness.

Where the Heart Is

Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wonderful quirky, characters - just like most us of know in real life - make this novel worth reading. Novalee Nation, pregnant and abandoned at Walmart by her boyfriend, tries to make the best of her life. Sleeping in Walmart overnight, meeting new friends by day, Novalee carries bravely on, until the night the baby is born and her new, true friends help. While part of this novel is horribly sad, so much focuses on the goodness and kindness of others and don't we want to believe in that goodness?
