Julie Lessman, You Now Have A Fan Club!

A while ago, I mentioned I was reading a series of books by Julie Lessman. So, after I finished them I told my cousin in-law and got her hooked! Recently, I was talking to my First Lady (the Pastor's Wife) and telling her about this book...she ordered it for her Kindle, and can you say the rest is history? Right now there are 4 of us reading/re-reading and loving the book. I can not say it enough: JULIE LESSMAN, YOU ARE A GODSEND IN THE LITERARY FIELD! I loved that I can read a book that is so real and also strengthens my walk in Christ. If my First Lady loves it, then you know you are anointed! LOL. If you haven't read her books, you should! Be blessed.

What I'm Reading: A Love Redeemed by Julie Lessman

If you haven't caught on that the first book was awesome than I'll keep you in my prayers because I was sure I wasn't holding back. I am on the last 20 something pages of this book and all I can say is wow. This in the second book in the series of The Daughters of Boston; and I have to admit I was completely shocked at the difference between the sisters. I was actually shaking my head and tsking at every crazy and manipulative thing the main character Charity did. But as I started to dig deeper into the book and not judge Charity but try to understand her; I found myself looking at the former me. We have all been a Charity. We do what we want, what feels good, anything as long as the end result is something that we wanted. But it always comes at a price. That being said; this book is extremely good. I am trying to pace myself but its not working out really, lol. Back to reading.

What I'm Reading: A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman

I don't know where to begin. I found out Julie Lessman from a review she did on another book.  I googled her and the rest was history. I finally received all of her The Daughters of Boston books (there's 3 of them) and started  my first book Tuesday. Can I say absolutely amazing!!?!!??!! I'm not done yet but I can't help but tell others about it. I love the characters, the plot and the way she is so real about the emotions of the characters. She doesn't sugar coat it and make it extremely cheesy and romantic and she ties the word of God into it in a way that I don't feel like I'm about to go to sleep. I am normally not a fan of Christian Historical Fiction but between her and Siri Mitchell (Love her!) I might end up getting more books from this genre. It takes place in 1916 Boston during World War 1. The first book is about the oldest sister Faith.........that's all I'm telling you. There are so many dips and turns and twists so far I can't even imagine how it will end. That being said, I am very anxious to get back to the book; it is seriously awesome. Be blessed.
