Publication Date: September 27, 2011 | Series: Wednesday Letters
Their remarkable journey began in 2007 with the New York Times bestseller, The Wednesday Letters.
Now comes the next stage of one family's journey to survive their past and forge their own future. With no more secrets...
When
Noah Cooper "bumps" into Rachel, he thinks it's love at first sight.
Rachel isn't so sure. In time, Noah's charm pays off and he introduces
his bride-to-be to a special Cooper family tradition -- the wedding
letters. Family and friends of the happy couple are invited to send
letters of advice on love, life, and happiness.
However, when a
dark secret from Rachel's past surfaces, will Noah, and his parents,
Malcolm and Rain, be able to help save the wedding from disaster? And
what about the scrapbook of wedding letters that have already been
gathered? Could a single letter really provide the answer that will
bring Rachel back?
Set against the backdrop of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, The Wedding Letters
will remind you that sometimes, no matter the secrets of years past,
two hearts can still be one. And by the final page, you might just want
to create your own book of wedding letters for someone you love.
Here is the book trailer for The Wedding Letters.
My Review:
The Wedding Letters is a continuation of the story of the Cooper family that started in The Wednesday Letters. The Wedding Letters can stand on it's own, but it will be a more fulfilling read if you have read The Wednesday Letters first.
The story centers around the main characters, Noah Cooper and his future bride, Rachel. All of the characters are so wonderfully rich, and colorful. They remind you of your neighbors and family members, so you connect quickly with them. Previous readers of this series remember soon what they loved about the Cooper family, and also what they disliked about some of them. By all means, this is not a story about a perfect family, but I believe they don't exist. That would be boring to read about a family with no flaws. Jason writes his characters with enough flaws, that you root for them as they grow, learn, and sometimes change for the better.
I enjoyed reading about the concept of "The Wedding Letters". The fun part for me being a single, divorced women, is that I hopefully will get married again. I would love to follow this tradition the next time I get married. You don't have to be in your twenties to have a gift of Wedding Letters done for you. Down below I have a video showing what exactly The Wedding Letters Tradition is.
The Wedding Letters overall is a short, sweet read that most readers will enjoy.The main themes of love, forgiveness,and moving forward, will make up for some of the predictability in the storyline. This will not take away from the feeling of contentment and resolution felt at the end of the story. I truly love reading stories by Jason Wright.
The Wedding Letters was a 2011 Whitney Award Nominee in the General Fiction category.

The need for courageous, faithful women has never been
greater than it is today. As we draw nearer to the Second Coming of
Jesus Christ, we are faced with temptations on every side. But we can
prevail as we gain true strength from living the gospel.
In
Women of Strength, Tristi Pinkston shares inspiring stories, as well as
insightful quotes from Church leaders, to demonstrate the power and
influence of righteous women. This book invites women everywhere to
deepen their relationship with the Savior, rely on the guidance of the
Holy Ghost, and learn what it really means to be strong.
My Review:
Day to day life struggles can really pull us down.Keeping up with the kids, our jobs, church callings, yard work, laundry, cleaning, etc. make us tired. Being able to review Tristi Pinkston's new book, Women of Strength, was the breath of fresh air I needed right now. I needed to be reminded of who I am, and how important I really am in this world and in my children's lives.
The 140 pages of Women of Strength are powerfully packed with messages that will make you think, make you thankful, and encouraged. Some of my favorite chapter titles(Out of the 14 chapters) were: -Divine Identity -Womanhood -Strength in Parenting -Strength in Keeping the Commandments -Strengths in Talents
-Becoming Strong
There is one passage Iwanted to quote to you from the chapter entitled, "Strength in Our Divine Identity". It brought tears to my eyes and filled me with a sense of peace and understanding.
"Sometimes we look around at all of the creations of His hands, and wonder if we really do matter...Surely we must get lost in the crowd and our feature become a blur. That's what we think, but in reality, we are as precious to our Father as if He only had one child...He not only knows our names, but He knows our thoughts and fears, our strengths and weaknesses, our talents and capabilities,and He knows what we can become, often when we don't have any idea.
If I could grant wishes, if I were some kind of good fairy and could sprinkle sparkly dust and give you anything, I would most want to give you the knowledge that you are a daughter of God. When you really understand that, you will find miracles in your life. Your inner peace will be unbounded. Your confidence will burst out of you. Your real beauty will shine forth. A woman who knows who she is? Incredible. Amazing."...pages 37-38 Women of Strength
Tristi's writing is so personal in this book, as if she is my best friend helping me feel better about myself. If I had read nothing else in the book, just reading these pages increased my confidence and love for myself. I am grateful for writers like Tristi, who so beautifully express what is hiding there in my heart. Women of Strength will become a guide for many women like me, who need a boost, and reminders of their potential.
About the Author: Tristi Pinkston is the author of eleven published books -
"Nothing to Regret," "Strength to Endure," "Season of Sacrifice," "Agent

Dollar Diva." She also works as a freelance editor and online writing

long naps.
And this be our motto In God is our trust. America exits
the War of 1812 battered but determined under the leadership of the last
men tutored by the Founding Fathers. As she is welcomed onto the world
stage, new leaders prepare to thrust an aggressive platform on the
nation, threatening America's unity and her brief period of prosperity
and peace. The country's trials have prepared a choice generation, but
as adversity afflicts the Pearson home, Hannah enters a crisis of faith,
questioning man's interpretation of God's word. The struggles plaguing
the Pearsons affect Frannie and the six families with whom the Pearsons
have become entangled during the war. As a new religious reformation
dawns in America, the Pearsons and Snowdens become involved with a young
man from Hannah's past Joseph Smith whose accounts of visions and
dealings with angels strain tender relationships and test the
Constitution's guarantees of religious liberty.
My Review: As with all of the books in this series, I enjoyed the story and the characters so much! I have grown to love the characters and feel like I know them so well. This is why I love reading a series, because of the great connection you feel for the story's characters. Once again, Laurie draws you in from the first chapter. I felt like I had never even left this time period. We were there by Hannah's side as she is loving and supporting her brave and devoted husband Jed. Then we are in England as Daniel tries to reunite with his estranged father, Earl Spencer. Frannie, spunky as ever, is forging ahead with her life, despite still missing her one true love Arthur. *sigh* I could go on and on.
I love historical fiction novels. Laurie has done unbelievable research on this time period of the War of 1812. I learned so much, and grew to appreciate this great nation even more. With Laurie writing such dynamic and lovable characters, you never feel like what you are reading is "dry" history. The storyline is so richly woven into the true history, that all you have left is this incredible story. I would advise you though, read the books in order or you will be terribly lost. Some series can be read in any order, but not this one.
If you are looking for a great series to read, based on true USA historical events, lots of action and believable characters, give the Free Men and Dreamers a try. You will not only learn a lot about American History, but you will be thoroughly entertained.
***Interview with Author L.C. Lewis: I had the privilege of interviewing Laurie (L.C.) Lewis about her experience of writing the Free Men and Dreamers series. This is probably one of my favorite interviews. I loved her answers!
1.Sheila:How do you feel now that the "Free Men and Dreamers series is finished? Laurie: It's
a mixed bag of emotions. I'm a little sad to not have Jed, Hannah,
Frannie, and Bitty in my head every day, but I'm also relieved. I had so
many goals to meet before concluding the series. I wanted to walk away
feeling I had tied up the story's loose ends, shown how critical this
period of American history was to the development of our national
identity, and I wanted to give a little insight into how American
history impacted the Smith family and eventually, the Restoration. I
feel we accomplished that, and that is very satisfying. No matter what
other books I write, I think I will be most proud of Free Men and
Dreamers.
The FM&D project has taken so many years, and like
anything that requires that much time, one's entire family makes
sacrifices to see the project to its end, and it was time to turn that
energy back to other needs. I think things worked out as they needed to.
2.Sheila:Did you ever think that this series would be as BIG as is it? I know that you have a lot of fans that love your books?
Laurie:You
are really kind. Thanks so much. I've been blessed with some
extraordinarily loyal readers who deserve a lot of credit for seeing
this project through to its completion. When the research became
tedious, and when we struggled to get the word out about the series, it
was their letters and encouragement that kept me going. Some of those
letters are among my most prized treasures.
Now if you know any movie producers who would like to make FM&D:THE MOVIE--send them my way! 3.Sheila:Who
ended up being your favorite characters in the book? I know that this
is like asking who your favorite child is, but who did you think made
the most growth or change for the better?
Laurie:Wow, yeah. . . that is
hard. Most of my characters reflect some part of me. Like the opening
where a hand fits into a puppet, it's how I really get inside a
character and bring them alive with consistency. Having said that, I
think Hannah is the character most like me, but I aspire to have the
vinegar and sass of Frannie. I love how the challenges of life made her
heart more permeable until she was able to take risks for love while
defending her family like a lioness.
I loved Arthur for finally
finding the courage to leave his excuses behind and take chances. I
loved Abel and Jerome's moral compasses. I loved Bitty's willingness to
sacrifice herself for everyone she loved. In the end though, Jed is and
has always been my favorite. He reflects the struggles we all face as we
balance duty to God, to family, and to country. He was flawed, but
humble enough to admit his errors, and his intentions were always noble.
I'd love a world filled with Jeds.
4.Sheila:Do you want to write another series? What would it be based on?
Laurie:I
have no current plans for another series, but if I ever did another
one, I'd write books that could each stand totally alone, or I'd have
the first few written before launching the series so loyal readers
wouldn't have to wait a year between volumes. There's so much pressure
to meet deadlines when you're trying to write well and quickly while
assuring that the historical elements are accurate. I felt so bad for my
readers who were hungering for the next volume.
Having said
that, I have two partial manuscripts featuring Jed and Hannah's
children, and I may complete those carrying Abigail and James up to the
Civil War.
5.Sheila:What is something important that you learned from writing The Free Men and Dreamers series?
Laurie:I've
learned so much from this experience--about the sacrifices of people
whose stories are being lost and forgotten, about how close we've come
to losing our liberty in the past, and how many parallels there our
between our day and mistakes, and those of this War of 1812 generation.
They saw themselves as a privileged generation, the first American-born
generation, and they were not vigilant. The last of the Revolutionary
heroes tried to warn them not to be haughty, and to guard their freedom
fiercely, but it wasn't until the eleventh hour that they finally
understood what freedom would require of them in blood and courage.
I
see the World War II generation as those Revolutionary heroes. They
understand the cost of freedom, and the greater cost of losing it.
They're almost gone now, and I hope we are learning what they tried to
teach us. 6.Sheila: What are your currently working on now? What is your favorite time to write?
Laurie:I
took a break from writing to attend to ongoing family needs, but I'm
back at the computer as often as I can. I've got two current projects
going. One is a political suspense novel set in West Virginia near an
underground military installation my husband came across in his work.
It's been a nice transition from FM&D because it contains a mix of
history, political intrigue, and rich characters. I've also got a
Women's Fiction novel going about a two people who become estranged from
their families for various reasons, and who meet and try to connect
despite their various trust issues. The female protagonist has one
remaining family member, a grandmother with early onset dementia. The
challenges she faces as she tried to bond with this equally broken woman
cause her to seek security in a man she feels is more "steady," and
that leads to some painful choices and revelations from all the
characters. My mother has early onset dementia, and though it is a
fictional novel, this book, like "Awakening Avery," will draw from my
own experiences. It's a tough one to write right now.
My favorite
time to write is when I jump straight from my bed, while still in my
pj's, head to the computer and hammer away. I generally take a plot or
character question to bed with me, and when I wake up I generally have
clear insight into where I need to go next. It's pretty awesome.
I
have to say that working late at night was my second favorite time to
write, but late writing led to late-night snacking, and in the past
seven years I published five books and packed on fifty pounds. I just
got those off, so I'm taking a break from late night writing!
Thanks
so much for the interview, Sheila. And thanks for supporting the
series. Your kind notes and reviews have meant so very much to me over
the long haul.
About the Author:
I'm a craft-challenged,
fifty-something LDS wife, mother, grandmother and novelist. My seventh
novel, "In God is Our Trust" the fifth and final volume of my FREE MEN
and DREAMERS series, debuted in November 2011. I'm currently taking a
little sabbatical while I kick back for a while and concentrate on
spoiling my cute grand-kids. You can contact Laurie on her website at:
FREE MEN and DREAMERS followers will
notice changes to my covers over the production of this series because
three separate publishers have been involved in its publication. Despite
the individual imprint each publisher has had on the exteriors, the
story is seamless. I'm delighted the project is ahead of schedule. All
five books are on store shelves prior to the commencement of the
bicentennials of the war and of the Star-Spangled Banner.
Volume
1, "Dark Sky at Dawn," covers the prelude to this second battle for
America's liberty, and introduces our characters: five families. . .
three American, two British, and one slave.
Volume 2, "Twilights
Last Gleaming," covers the first year of the war while illustrating
the toll patriotism takes on the complex and wealthy Pearson family.
Volume 3. "Dawn's Early Light" covers the British assault on Washington and the burning of the capitol.
Volume
4, "Oh, Say Can You See?" ends the war with some insight into events at
the peace conference in Ghent and the Battle of New Orleans, but the
bulk of this volume surrounds the game-changing Battle of Baltimore and
the writing of The Star-Spangled Banner. This volume also brings our
surviving Willows characters home and explores the impact, good and bad,
the War of 1812 had on infant America.
Volume 5, "In God Is Our
Trust," illustrates the impact of the war on America's spirit. The
Constitutional guarantees of religious freedom are put to the test when a
young man from the Pearson's past--Joseph Smith--tells of his talk of
miraculous experiences that lead to the establishment of a new church.
As
for my other projects, in April 2010, I teamed up with a new publisher,
Walnut Springs Press, to produce a tender LDS Women's Fiction novel
titled, "AWAKENING AVERY." It's a very personal story for me, born after
my husband survived a heart attack.
When author Avery Elkins
Thompson's husband passes away after a long illness, she discovers that
while bracing for her husband's death, she has also been shriveling,
and now her children are worried about losing her too. They suggest she
seek "a healing place" at a beloved family location, Anna Maria Island,
on Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast.
Along the way, Avery meets
some quirky characters who remind her of what she's made of, and she
remembers a few important life-lessons assuring her that she still has a
few beautiful things to share as well.
She scores a magnificent
home in which to heal through a house-swap with a handsome, brooding
Anna Maria widower who has family troubles of his own. As they swap
homes for the summer, and step into one anther's worlds, new
opportunities to heal their broken families present themselves, if Avery
will awaken to them in time.
****
I think you'll be
amazed at the rich American history my Free Men and Dreamers books
include, and it's all couched within a beautiful story of family, faith
and patriotism.
And if I haven't hit your cup of tea yet, well. .
. hold on. I'm also working on a political suspense novel. No release
date yet.

Title: Sisters: A Modern Girl's Guide to Serving a Mission
Author: Melissa Dymock
Paperback: 82 pages
Publisher: Covenant Communications ( March 2012)
ASIN: B007G3TICA
Book Description:
As they enter adulthood, many LDS women face a challenging question:
should I serve a mission? This deeply personal choice becomes even more
complex in light of other opportunities such as advanced education,
employment, and starting a family. Inside Sisters: The Modern Girl’s
Guide to Serving a Mission is what every prospective sister missionary
deserves: a thoughtful “older-sister” to help her find the right answer
to that vital question of whether to serve a full-time mission—and, if
the answer is yes, to help her understand how to prepare both
spiritually and temporally, what to expect, and how to succeed. Returned
missionary Melissa Dymock leads readers step by step through the
transition into mission life, from packing bags to surviving the MTC to
thriving in the field, and offers insights from a variety of experienced
missionaries on how to make the most of missionary experience. There’s
even a glossary of mission terms, a collection of recipes for easy
eating on the job, and advice on making a smooth transition back home
once those “best eighteen months” draw to a close. This comprehensive
resource will enlighten and encourage any LDS woman who stands at the
crossroads of missionary service.
My Review:
This is a short book, but it is loaded with information. I was very impressed with what you will find when you read Sisters: A Modern Girl's Guide to Serving a Mission. This book has been greatly needed by young women considering serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Author Melissa Dymock covers every area that you may have questions about before and after your mission. Here are the chapter titles:
Chapter 1: Should You Serve a Mission?
Chapter 2: The Papers and The Call
Chapter 3: Preparing to Serve
Chapter 4: The Missionary Training Center
Chapter 5: The Field
Chapter 6: Coming Home
Chapter 7: Quick, Easy, and Delicious Recipes for the Field
Chapter 8: A Brief Summary and Words of Wisdom from Those Who've Gone Before
Melissa even includes a glossary of mission terms such as what are "Greenies" and what is "Trunkiness". Within each chapter Melissa goes in depth such as in Chapter 3: Preparing to Serve, she talks about how to prepare both spiritually(by prayer and scripture study) and physically(Health matters and what kind of clothing to buy, like buying quality shoes.)
Sisters: A Modern Guide to Serving a Mission, will make a great gift for any young women trying to make this important decision of whether or not to serve a mission. I wish that a book like this would have been around 20 years ago. This is an excellent addition to any family's library of LDS non-fiction books.

The next hop will be at the beginning of June.
Run or die! She knew too much, and she’d seen too much.
And the police refused to help. Knowing that she was to be the next
scheduled death, Kelly Campbell hid under head to toe black leather and a
tinted motorcycle helmet and ran for her life. When the weather turned
cold, she turned south. She ended up in North Carolina, home to one of
the most famed and eligible NFL football stars in the whole league; only
she didn’t know that. She thought he was a businessman. Not being a
huge fan, all she knew was that he was incredibly attractive, kind,
generous, and that she was safe with him. Or
was she? His brand of fame proved to be all but deadly, but his fame
wasn’t nearly as lethal as his attraction. He kept her safe and
protected. All except for her heart.
Book Trailer for The Most Important Catch
My Blog Tour Review: This is the third book of Jaclyn's that I have reviewed. This book also happens to be just as good as her previous books. The story of Kelly and Robby grabbed me from the start. At the beginning of the book, we meet Robby, whose life as an NFL football player isn't as wonderful as you would think, especially as he is constantly being stalked by female admirers. Then we read about Kelly, and discover the reason why Kelly has to go on the run in order to save her own life.
Robby and Kelly happen upon each other on a lonely, country road. They immediately keep secrets, about themselves, from each other,and they soon grow close to one another. It was fun to see how their relationship developed. I loved how it showed a relationship developing slowly, from friends to eventual boyfriend/girlfriend. It was a nice change of pace for me. So many times in fiction the man and women are thrown together and fall in love instantly. You have to be patient in this book, but it is such a sweet thing to see how and why this relationship develops. Always in the background you know that Kelly is still in danger and that the bad guys are still looking for her. I only wish that there would have been a little more action in the middle of the story.
There are so many things that worked for me in this novel, such as the strong character development, and the humor and banter between the main characters. You have a man and a woman who are so "perfect" in their looks, but they both have emotional and personality flaws. It made both characters likable and approachable. They are members of the LDS church and share a little about their beliefs, but nothing what I would call preachy. It just made them more well-rounded and wholesome. I truly liked how this was shown throughout the course of the story.
The Most Important Catch will be a great beginning to your "Summer To-Read" list. It will make you laugh and believe in love again. Make this novel your most important catch to read this Summer.

My Review: Cami Checkett's new book, Dead Running, is about a runner, but your heart will also be running fast as you read this story! You are kept on constant edge as Cassidy's life is in danger. To compound things, she also doesn't know who the good and bad guys are. Cami does an awesome job of blurring the lines of suspicion, where eventually you think everyone is out to get Cassidy, the main character.
Speaking of Cassidy...wow! She is a "kick-'butt" gal who pushes the limit and doesn't give up. As I read this I truly felt like a wimp. I don't think I would ever have the resolve that Cassidy did as she trained to run a marathon. I am not a runner, thanks to my bad knees that don't have much cartilage left. Even if I did, I'm not sure I could/would train like she did. I fully admire all of my friends out there that are runners. You are awesome!!
Another part I enjoyed about the book are the thoroughly "delicious" men that are chasing Cassidy. One is, Damon, fellow runner and handsome businessman, and the other is the ruggedly built Dr. Jesse "Tattoo"; they reminded me of vanilla and chocolate ice-cream.As a reader you end up just as confused as Cassidy about who you like the best. You will be very surprised by the ending, but also very satisfied. I recommend this romantic thriller to all those who want to be reading on the edge of their seat. I know that anyone that runs will especially love and relate to this main character. Those of us that are not runners can just sit back and enjoy the mystery and romance that will be found in Dead Running.
Makesure that you enter the drawing because there are truly some wonderful prizes to be won!!
