Beautifully written story about the devastating effects of religious-based bigotry, not only on the primary victim but also on others out of view. If one doesn’t understand the quote There is no hate quite like Christian love, this story explains it to perfection.
If only the adults in this child’s life could hear her words with their hearts... Yes, a dream, but sadly, bigotry knows no bounds. This beautifully written story brings home the fact that there are more victims of such hate than apparent at first glance.
For His Own Good is a heart-wrenching story of loss and those who want to protect someone they care for. However, what is the most sensitive and loving route? Never an easy decision, especially when one doesn’t have all the facts.
A stunningly sad story, and with Ben’s chosen ending, I couldn’t help but think of my hubby’s battle with 11 catastrophic illnesses over 8 years. In the end, yes, while it was a devastating loss, we had those last years to share and leave nothing unsaid. There are no easy end-of-life decisions.
So far, Shepherd's Crook is my personal favorite of K.C.’s stories. From the start, readers are treated to realistic dialogue between the main character and his father. Moving forward, the story of a family tragedy unfolds, followed by trials and an undying determination to overcome and triumph. The climax of the ending is pulse-pounding, while the epilogue is simply brilliant.

The plains whispered of a darkness rising, waiting for the day Twm’s strength would falter—and Henry would be tested. That closing line offers an intriguing set-up for a sequel.
The Exchange Students is a unique tale centered around a mysterious organization focused on genetics and nazi ideology, showcasing the risk such practices pose to humanity. Within this tale is the story of Matt, one of his high school ambassadors, and the circle of friends, both old and new, who come together for each other and the future.
The second story by C.T. Piatt, and I must say I’m incredibly impressed with how beautifully emotions are painted with the words. My only disappointment is seeing that nothing else has been published since 2019.
The solitude of the Photo is perfectly paced and conveys the depth of the main character’s longing, desires, and conflicted emotions. A great short read.
It's impossible not to become attached to the Connelly men. Seth's growth has been inspiring, and young Kane will get there. And Adam, he'll finally get to be the father he was meant to be.
Ah, Eve, what a CFB you are! That's ok, you are in truth more miserable than you endeavor to make others. Better yet, one day your deeds will return to haunt you.
