Beneath His Silence | Hannah Linder

pick

In this Historical Christian fiction written by Hannah Linder it starts out with Ella wanting to know or needing to know what actually happened to her sister Lucy. What actually happened to cause her death? She believes Lucy‘s husband killed her. This is a beautiful story. Where faith in God perseveres. No bad language. No sexual content, just a loving romance. I loved the little tidbits of faith here and there throughout the story.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My cover isn't super exciting, so I give you Kitty as compensation 😂

I remember enjoying this book as a teen but wasn't sure how it would hold up as an adult - but I found it completely engaging. Christy is just a likable character, so it makes the whole story work. She's genuine in her efforts to understand the world around, and I related so much to her desire to make her childhood faith something tangible and real. This is definitely a ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Christian-y book, but there is plenty of story beyond that. This is a fascinating look at the backwoods in the early 20th century loosely based on the author's mother's experiences. I did feel like the story lost some momentum when it veered from the classroom/school experiences into the epidemic, and the ending felt rather abrupt, but on the whole I really enjoyed this one.

Librarybelle Kitty! I‘m still reading and am enjoying my reread of this one! 2w

Sace I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I first read it in my early 20s and it didn‘t make much of an impression (all I could remember was that everyone had eye infections). I think I got a lot more out of it this time. I can see this being one I reread. 2w

Teresereading I finished it yesterday. A fascinating read, and I loved the Dr Neil storyline. Slightly disappointed to read that was 'faction'. It's based on Marshall 5d

Teresereading Question- if it's based on Marshall' grandmother's stories are all the characters fictional (or composites)? The Disclaimer says ' any resemblance to ...etc' but the opening chapter when 'Christy' revisits Cutters Gap was so evocative. 5d

TheAromaofBooks @Teresereading - This article has some details of the differences between Marshall's real-life grandma and fictional Christy - https://www.appalachianhistory.net/2011/11/christy-and-leonora-city-girl-country... - I think what she did was take many of the stories her grandma shared from working at the mission and then made up parts to make a more dramatic narrative. MacNeil and Miss Alice are both fictional, but both are important characters⬇ 5d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) to help Christy learn and grow. Probably the biggest difference is that Christy is much more “citified“ than Marshall's grandma, who also grew up somewhat impoverished and in the country. 5d

I took this from my mom‘s bookshelf years ago and finally read it with #RandomClassic

Turns out this is a 1967 copy that belonged to my dad‘s mom. I‘m glad she stuck an address label inside so I‘d see it all these years later.

I really enjoyed learning about this time and community which I had little knowledge of before.

And what an ending!!!!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Christmas at Harrington's | Melody Carlson

pick

A woman is released from prison after eight long years and decides to start life over in a new town. The story unfolds with Christmas rapidly approaching. There are some plot holes, and well, some things that just don‘t make any sense here….eight years in prison for a first time offense of embezzlement? A woman spends all that time in prison yet doesn‘t seem hardened and shows no ill effects from it?

JoeMo If you can ignore those little annoying details, there‘s a pretty entertaining story here to get swept away by 3w
