This did not seem to be in any way a retelling of Jane Austen books. It seemed to just use her as a motivator to move the plot forward. I wish there had been more plot development and characterization. It seemed to wrap up just a little too neatly. But by definition a novella is short so I gu...
Wow, probably my favorite historical fiction. The author weaves a beautiful story of two lives in different countries and how they are brought together through love and war. Danny is a young boy who receives an assignment from his teacher to choose a pen pal from a different country. Through l...
Interesting premise and it started strong, but it spiraled into a silly collision of crazy events, and it wasn't tied up very well at the end. Yes, pastors and their wives have a fine line to walk between ministry to the congregation and serving their own families, and I liked the way the author...

The book was a real emotional rollercoaster, not the happy–happy book its predecessor in this series was. Even on that note, it was an excellent read. Once more Diane has shown a real mastery in the art of character development as well as mastering the method of dramatic story–telling. Her backgr...
