Trading Secrets by Melody Carlson

Micah Knight and Zach have been penpals for many, many years since the fifth grade. Zach is of the amish lifestyle which is so much different from the modern way of things.  She recieves a letter in the mail saying that Zach wants to visit her, she starts freaking out because all this time she has been hiding a secret. 

Indeed Micah Knight was a girl despite her name. Micah volunteers to go to Zach's family farm instead of him coming to her place because of the family crops needing tending to. She knows that Zach is a big part of the family life and the responsible older son. 

She worries that he will be angry and never be able to forgive her. I do not wanna spoil the book for anyone but I will just leave you with this: Will he be able to forgive the deception or will he not? 

The thing that got me to read this book was the opening tag line.....

"The truth may set you free---but it might also land you in some uncomfortably hot water."

I give this book a three. I feel that Melody could have build up the suspense a little bit more like she has in some of her other books. Melody Carlson is one of my favorite writers. I would highly recommend her Chloe and Kaitlyn series over this book but it was good for a laugh.

I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review as part of this book's blog tour.  ABOUT THE BOOK: Book:  Murder on the MOOR, A Drew Farthering Mystery Author:  Julianna Deering Genre:  Historical Mystery Release Date:  February 2017 At the urgent request of an old school friend, Drew and Madeline Farthering come to Bloodworth Park Lodge in the midst of the Yorkshire moors, a place as moody and mysterious as a Brontë hero. There have been several worrisome incidents around those lonesome rolling hills–property desecrated, fires started, sheep and cattle scattered. Worst of all, the vicar has been found dead on the steps of the church, a crime for which Drew can discern no motive at all. Few in the town of Bunting’s Nest seem like suspects, and Drew can’t keep his suspicions from falling on his friend’s new bride. Do her affections lie more with her husband’s money and estate, while her romantic interests stray to thei

Who's your Anchor?

Hey there everyone! I just wanted to welcome you to my blog. Today we are going to be talking about anchors and who is your anchor during your hard times. Who do you rely on? Do you go running to a special someone? Do you run to God?  Has there ever been a time in your life where something you wanted didn’t go the way you wanted or even ended up being taken away? Have you ever looked up to the sky and say “Lord, I have no clue what you are up to now? How did that happen?” I want to tell you about a time when that has happened to my family and I. We have been through heck and back. This summer was a totally a chance to hang onto God, our Anchor and our Faith.  Some days there were  a lot  of questioning about where we were going to live, if we had made the wrong decision to move everyone up here at the time or to have people stay in Maryland. We just had to learn that God is into control no matter what.  We were in the process of relocating to Michigan from Maryland. We
