The Spice King by Elizabeth Camden

Image
I recieved this book for free in exchange for my honest review: My thoughts on Elizabeth Camden: Elizabeth Camden is one of my favorite authors of all time. She writes from her knowledge as many years working as a librarian. You can tell she does her research in order to make the time periods seem real and she develops the characters so well that you feel like you know them. She writes from the heart and it shows from page one until the end of each and every book she pens.  From the back of the book:  Gray Delacroix has dedicated his life to building his very successful global spice empire, but it has come at a cost. Resolved to salvage his family before it spirals out of control, he returns to his ancestral home to save his brother and sister before it's too late.  As a junior botanist for the Smithsonian, Annabelle Larkin has been charged with the impossible task of gaining access to the notoriously private Delacroix plant collection. If she fails, she will be o

I recieved this book for free in exchange for my honest review. This does not affect my review in any way. The back of the book:  Hattie Walker dreams of becoming a painter, while her parents want her to settle down. As a compromise, they give her two months to head to Denver and place her works in an exhibition or give up the dream forever.

Dear Friends,  If you have never picked up a copy of Death Before Life (My Story for His Glory) by Chakesha Shurn, I recommend it. This book will touch your heart and open your eyes to the love of a child. I recieved this book for free in exchange for my honest review.  Chakesha Shurn was a member of my church in Maryland and I got to know her through activities getting a group ready for a mission trip. I never realized there was more to her than meets the eye. When you meet Chakesha (whom I call Kesha), you realize that she is a loving person who always has a kind word to say, a smile to offer and is always in worship of King Jesus.  But as I read her story, I realize that there was a broken heart that has been hurt by the loss of her dear daughter Adriana who died way before her time. I am not a mom and I can never understand the pain that my friend Kesha went through but I am glad that she has gotten the courage to share her story with us.  So many people have pain that
