The DA3 Interview & Giveaway: Foster Care

The DA3 Interview & Giveaway: Foster Care

Three diverse books sharing one common thread: that’s the idea behind the DA³ Interview. All of today’s books include characters who are, or have been, part of the foster care system.

REVIEW: Rekindled Hearts by Brenda Minton

REVIEW: Rekindled Hearts by Brenda Minton

Dear Ms. Minton, There is a lot of stuff you are trying to cover in this book. Some of it is done just right, some of it is skimmed too quickly for me and some of it just seems to be on an eternal repeating loop. The small Kansas town of High Plains is still(…)

REVIEW: Marrying Minister Right by Annie Jones

Dear Ms Jones, First off, kudos to whoever chose the title of the book. It’s cute, inspired and totally fits the subject matter of the story.

REVIEW: Road to Love by Linda Ford (5/08)

Dear Mrs Ford, It’s hard to read the blurb for “Road to Love” without mentally comparing it to the Mother of All Depression Era-Widow-Marries-Ex-Con-Hero novels but I think your book will stand on its own merits. Initially upon reading the blurb I thought, “I’ve read this before. I’ve seen it done excellently before. What else(…)
