'The Deepest Waters' book review....

The Deepest Waters

by Dan Walsh

What began as a fairytale honeymoon in 1857 for John and Laura Foster aboard the steamship SS Vandervere becomes a nightmare when a hurricane strikes and the grand ship is lost in the murky depths of the Atlantic. Laura finds herself rescued with the other women and children, but how can she feel any relief without her groom?

Talented author Dan Walsh skillfully tells an epic story through an intimate focus on two lost lovers. Inspired by real events, this moving novel will capture your heart as you dive into its pages.

My review: 

When Laura and John are separated in the beginning of their honeymoon due to their ship going down during a hurricane storm, they are both heartbroken, but they soon find that there isn't much time to mend their hearts with all the trials and troubles they are facing with just trying to survive. But even as these newlyweds are struggling to survive (separately) not a moment goes by that they aren't reminiscing about their time together.

The fact that they have their memories and I think even though they don't EVER voice or mention their hope...that their hope and the possibility of one day seeing each other again is what keeps them each going.

Their Christian faith comes through so strong with the way that they are both so quick to help others. This story will happen next. To me, it was like a historical, romantic suspense novel.

A MUST READ!!!

About the Author:

Dan Walsh is the award-winning author of The Unfinished Gift, and The Homecoming. A member of American Christian Fiction Writers, Dan served as a pastor for 25 years. He lives with his family in the Dayton Beach area, where he is busy researching and writing his next novel.

Flex-Stick Review....Helping me walk better one step at a time........ :)

HELPING PEOPLE WALK BETTER -- IT'S WHY RANjAM EXISTS!

"The 'FLEX-STICK', byRANjAM, LLC is the exciting new three legged, revolutionary walking cane. Comfort and control are provided as spring-loaded legs cushion the hand while maintaining contact with the ground as the 'FLEX-STICK' tilts with normal walking.  Replaces quad canes & single point canes."

http://www.ranjam.net/

"With the 'FLEX-STICK', some of the most uneven surfaces are made much easier to negotiate as the legs compensate and the springs act as shock absorbers, moving up and down to level out the ride, much the same way as an automobile handles bumps and pot holes." 

This is NOT a cane.  It's a ''FLEX-STICK!

The gorgeous blue one in the middle is the one that RANjAM so generously sent me :)

Don't you just love the design???  

I do!!!

I have gotten so many compliments just on the design,

and then they will start looking at the actual Flex-Stick itself 

and noticing that this isn't your everyday cane that you see people

walking with. This Flex-Stick is absolutely amazing.

The first time I took it to my Doctor appointment with me,

my Dr. immediately noticed the design and asked me to check it out.

He was very interested in the spring-loaded legs,

knowing that with my Sciatica and crushed tail-bone, that this is 

probably exactly what I need.

I left him all the information and he even put the brochures that I had 

brought with me up in his office for his patients to see.

Pretty much the same thing happened at my Physical Therapist's office.

She was amazed at the design and when I showed her how it works,

that when I put my bad leg down, I put the Flex-Stick down

at the exact same time on the other side and it

practically does all the work for me.

The Flex-Stick is amazing when you are walking on uneven surfaces.

Because of the spring-loaded legs, one or two or however many are needed will

actually go down only as far as needed to make me still walk level.

I love it, but more importantly.....so does my back :)


I almost forgot to add that the Flex-Stick comes with a 
built in flashlight. It's right at hand level so you can easily turn it 
on and off when needed. It comes in so handy when walking
at night, or when looking for the door locks!!

Check out this video....

l

The 'FLEX-STICK' comes in two (2) adjustable sizes

'standard' - 31.5" to 38.5" (80 cm to 98 cm) approximate heights from 4'10" to 6'2".

'tall' - 33" to 42" (84 cm to 107 cm) approximate heights from 5'5" to 6'6"

They can also do 'custom short' - 2" (5cm) shorter & 'custom tall' 2" (5cm) longer.

You won't be sorry.

And believe me...

you will NEVER use a cane again!!!

Angel Sister by Ann H. Gabhart book review....

ANGEL SISTER

by Ann H. Gabhart

About the book: 

It's 1936 and Kate Merritt works hard to  keep her family together. her father has slipped into alcoholism, he mother is trying to come to grips with their dire financial situation, and her sisters seem to remain blissfully oblivious to all of it. Kate could never have imagined that a dirty, abandoned little girl named Lorena birdsong would be just what her family needs.

In this richly textured novel, award-winning author Ann H. Gabhart reveals the power of true love, the freedom of forgiveness, and the strength to persevere through troubled times, all against the backdrop of a sultry Kentucky summer.

My review:

This is a wonderful story of family secrets and forgiveness set during the Depression.

Sadly, little Lorena Birdsong's parents can't afford to take care of her anymore so the leave her on the church steps in hope that a nice family will take her in and care for her; but not before her mother tells her that the person who cares for her will be an Angel. So when Kate Merritt, aged 14, the middle sister of the new family who takes her in becomes her main care-taker, that is exactly what Lorena thinks Kate is...her Angel sister, sent by her Mommy to bring her food and make sure she is alright. Kate relates so well to Lorena because she is still  so emotionally young herself; being the middle child of a family caught in the middle of the Depression and a whole bunch of family secrets....

Make sure you have a full box of tissues before you read this one. I laughed and cried, which is exactly what I like in this type of book. There is just so much raw emotion, that you can't help but fall in love with this book and it's characters.

About the author: 

Ann is a country girl, born and raised on a farm in the Outer Bluegrass region of Kentucky.   She grew up working on the farm and enjoying the woods and animals. Her roots grow deep in the land, and she now lives on a farm just a mile away from the farmhouse where she was born and raised.

She started writing when she was ten and has been writing ever since. Her first novel, A Forbidden Yearning, was published by Warner Books in 1978 and was a historical romance about the settling of Kentucky. Since then she has published twenty novels for adults and young adults. She has been going to the same small country church since she was seventeen and used her memories of how it used to be in The Scent of Lilacs. She says, "I love small churches where everybody is like a big family and all ages interact with one another. My church was established in 1812 and I        like thinking about all the people who have served the Lord there."

Dragonbreath Review & Giveaway......

Danny Dragonbreath's Lunch vants to suck your blood!!


Danny Dragonbreath knows that school lunches can't be trusted.
But even Danny is surprised when his hot dog bites his best friend, Wendell.
Suddenly Wendell is having strange craving, sprouting back hair,
and itching like he's never itched before.
Could Wendell be morphing into...a were-wiener???

My boys and I absolutely loved this book. We were so generously given a copy of
this book to keep for reviewing it. My boys laughed so hard when I read it to them.
My eleven year old has since read it twice through on his own :)
This book is very funny, and the graphics are great!!!
