    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    In 1766, Abigail is happily married to James, a tobacco trader turned sea captain. They are happy in Whitehaven, though they do struggle early in their marriage.

    Then, James decides to captain his own ship all the way to Africa and then to America. This journey will take a year and both are terrified of being apart for that long, but their future depends on it.

    As James leaves Abigail, he gets her a present, a little black child to use as another servant. However, the two bond in ways that nobody expected, not even Abigail.

    Now, Rachel is sent to Whitehaven to investigate a boat wreck that happened in the 1700s. She thinks that she may have found a slave boat that may have belonged to James, yet it didn’t sink where it was thought to. The mystery is one that she is just going to have to solve.

  • Nicholas Sparks is Always A Pleasure

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    When looking for my next read, I decided to go back to a favorite of mine since I started reading adult novels. Nicholas Sparks’ latest book, Counting Miracles, was as good as the rest.

    Tanner Hughes, raised by his grandparents in the military, followed his grandfather’s footsteps. After finishing with the Rangers, he spent years abroad, never settling down. When his grandmother dies, she spills a little secret, one about his father.

    Never knowing his mother or father, he is determined to find his father. So, he sets out for Asheboro, North Carolina, to find him. In less than a day, he meets a doctor, Kaitlyn Cooper, who changes everything. Their connection is immediate, and they have to decide whether or not to start a relationship, with him leaving in a few weeks.

    We also meet eighty-three-year-old Jasper, who lives alone in a cabin bordering a national forest. He spends his days with his old dog, Arlo, haunted by the tragedy that took his family. When he hears about a white deer, he is determined to save it from hunters.

    When these characters find themselves linked together in a way that nobody saw coming, you will be amazed. It changes everything!

    If you aren’t sure what to read next, Sparks is always a good choice. He delivers, and readers will be amazed at any book they pick up!
