The Healing Quilt Book Review





Book Review of The Healing Quilt
  by Wanda E. Brunstetter
"Return of the Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club"


REVIEW BY:C. Szymoniak

     I read this book for my daughter's blog, and this is "my kind of reading."  I loved the book because it exemplified all the healing God can do in people's lives just by the little things we do, the acts of kindness, a listening ear, and encouraging one another.  I also enjoyed the snippets of Scripture that are interlaced throughout the story.  Emma and Lamar Miler are living in a winter home in Sarasota, Florida.  As usual, Emma brings her quilting supplies and begins to offer classes.  Wounded and hurting people from all walks of life come to the classes.  Through  Emma's tender hand, and loving, encouraging spirit, healing is brought to her students.  People facing illness, hard knocks, and more, Emma loves them, even when romance is thrown in the mix.  I would recommend this read for women ages 13 and up.  This is a beautiful story of healing and encouragement and quilting!

A Deadly Business Book Review



Book Review of A Deadly Business
  by Lis Wiehl
"A Mia Quinn Mystery"


REVIEW BY: L. Bankhead

     You already know I love, love, love anything from Lis Wiehl.  She's my favorite modern thriller author, and this new book doesn't displease.  A Deadly Business picks up where A Matter of Trust left off.  Right from the beginning, Mia Quinn is physically attacked in the courtroom, making your heart pound.  She is then thrust into a new case involving minors, in which she spends countless hours deliberating if they should be charged as juveniles or adults.  The pros and cons of both sides, will keep you guessing.  In the midst of all of this, sidekick detective Charlie Carlson brings to light that Mia's dead husband may have been murdered.  There is scandal, mayhem and intrigue, in true Wiehl style. 
     I love all of her books, and this one is no different.  She left a good cliffhanger on where Mia's love interest will go in the next installment.  This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, as her books always do.  I recommend this book for 14 years old and up, as there is violence, attempted murder, euthanasia, murder, and prostitution mentioned.  It's a quick and easy read for the mystery-lover in all of us.
