A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The Silent Governess - Julie Klassen

This was one of the Kindle books that popped up for October in the $3.99 or less deals.  This one was $2.99.  I read The Girl in the Gatehouse quite some time ago and was pleased that this one popped up on the price drop.

This is not a small book.  It doesn't follow the normal length for the standard Christian romances, but I was not just watching the percentage all the way through the novel.

Olivia flees her home after she has an altercation with the man who was trying to strangle her mother.  She gets instructions from her mother to head to a particular area and wait for her there.  On the way, she gets accosted in the woods and then gets caught trespassing Edward's property.  She also hears some information that could be harmful to him.

While in jail, Olivia gets attacked by a man in the same cell and the strangling causes her to lose her voice.  Hoping to keep her close to prevent her telling his secret, Edward gives her a job at his house.

I really got my money's worth on this one.  It was a little long, but there was so much going on that it didn't seem that way.  Good book!
