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!

A Matter of Character (Sisters of Bethlehem Springs #3) - Robin Lee Hatcher

This is the third book in the Sisters of Bethlehem Springs series.  The first two were A Vote of Confidence and Fit to be Tied.  I waited a long time for the price on this one to drop. The other two were really good and I looked forward to finishing out the series with the story of Daphne.

Joshua has come to Bethlehem Springs to find D. B. Morgan.  The author writes dime novels that portray his grandfather in a less than favorable light.  No one else besides Joshua seems to care, but it matters very much to him.  His grandfather was very important to him.  He'll do whatever it takes to find the truth.

Daphne just happens to be the author Joshua is looking for, but she never meant to hurt anyone.  Her stories of the man came from an honest source and she wants to believe that she's right.  The problem is, even if she's right, she's come to like Joshua a great deal and doesn't want to see him hurt.  Once she finally reveals the secret of her writing to her family, she comes clean to Joshua knowing that he may not like her much after that.

Finding the truth together will be painful for Joshua at first, but he'll learn to see that God's love covers any sins.  He'll also see that Daphne is a gifted writer and should share her talent.  He's falling in love with her, but there's the matter of the woman he's been intended to marry since childhood.  The longer Joshua spends in Bethlehem Springs, the less he wants to return to St. Louis.

This was a great ending to the series.  You'll still see Gwen, Morgan, Cleo and Woody, but their stories aren't really mentioned here, so you can safely read these out of order. Good Book!
