This is book #3 of the Huntington Family Series. I really enjoyed this one, she kept you wondering what was going to happen and how were they going to get through their problems. Now I just wish I could find books #1 & #4.

I love reading the Kate Series. There are 5 books in this series. I own 4 out of the 5, but I am unable to find the 4th book of the series. The 5 books are: Kate's Turn, Kate's Return, Forever Kate, Following Kate and Sabrina & Kate. I would like to borrow the 4th book of this series if anyone has it. I had to have tissues with me the whole time reading this series. It is so easy to relate to these characters. I would recommend everyone reading this series. Above I have added the introduction to two of the books, but as you can see I can not even find a picture of the 4th book.

Against an Amber Sky

Life is beautiful for fifteen-year-old Bodi Brooks. She has a wonderful family, a loyal friend, her poetry, her music, and best of all, her daydreams. Everything in her life is perfect...except for school. And her bratty cousin Staci. And that annoying boy, Syd. And the fact that the most handsome boy in the world, Freddie, doesn't know she exists. And, of course, the Vietnam War. Other than that, though, Bodi has no complaints.
Just when Bodi feels life is at its best, adversity strikes. When a quick succession of tragedies crush Bodi's perfect world, Bodi is left with a pile of broken dreams as well as faith-threatening questions. Does God exist, or is he really only the product of someone's pitiful yearning and imagination? Can people be trusted, or will everyone sooner or later break their word? Do miracles really happen - and if they do, can they happen to someone like her?
In this touching story, the reader will learn with Bodi that although life doesn't always turn out the way we want, it doesn't mean that it can't still be good. Against an Amber Sky is the story of a young girl who learns the importance of integrity and comes to feel the love of God as she discovers the reality of miracles.

The young girl in this story has to learn to deal with many types of sorrow in her life. It is a good book. It isn't a book that requires you to finish the whole thing before putting it down, but it has a good story line and shows you that no matter what happens in your life, life still goes on and God will always love you.

No Longer Strangers

When zoologist Mitch Huntington agreed to be named in his best friends' will as guardian to their daughter, Emily Jane, he was sure it meant nothing more than pony rides, presents on birthdays, and an occasional day at the circus. Instead he finds himself up to his elbows in diapers and soggy oatmeal. While Mitch soon discovers that animal care and baby care are not the same thing, he quickly becomes totally devoted to the adorable little girl. But Cory Steele, Emily Jane's estranged aunt, will stop at nothing to rescue her niece from the clutches of this single Mormon man—even if it means pretending to join his strange church in order to gain his trust . . . and seize custody of the baby. Is Cory deceiving herself as much as she's trying to deceive Mitch? What's really in her heart? And what's best for Emily Jane? You've met Mitch's sister Amanda and read her gripping tale in the best-selling novel Winter Fire. Now Mitch's story will tug at your heartstrings as it explores the nature of commitment and selfless love.

This is a quick book to read. I have read it many times. I didn't realize until a few days ago, that it is part of a series. No I haven't read the first book "Winter Fire" of the Huntington Family Series. Luckily these books are written so you can read them together or as individuals, because they are stories about each Huntington's child adventures in finding love. I have ordered the third one and am waiting for it to arrive. I didn't know this when I ordered it, but now I am glad I did. I just have to find the 1st and 4th books of this series.

Wild Card

This action-packed novel is as full of twists and turns as the road to Galveston and Frank's new life. Set in turn-of-the-century America, this epic tale is as vast and sweeping as the plains of Texas . . . and beyond.
Filled with breathtaking suspense, Frank's story is one of misunderstandings, betrayals, heartaches-and deadly secrets. Bound together with an assortment of unsavory characters on the wrong side of the law, yet separated from them by his differing ideals, Frank finds himself in a race against time to save lives, even scores, and heal old wounds.
A timeless tale of the struggle between good and evil, and of one man's journey to find himself-and God.

If you love old western love stories, you will love this book. The beginning was slow to get started, but once the story took form it was one adventure after another. Definately worth reading at least once. After reading this book, I found out that Jennie Hansen (the author) has lived in our neck of the neighborhood (Kearns, Utah).

The Three Gifts Of Christmas

When her father remarries, LeNay Parkins finds her home so impossibly changed that she feels she can no longer stay. As she bravely sets out in search of a new life, she is overcome with illness the moment she steps off the bus in a strange town. Alone and frightened, LeNay accepts a kind offer from a passerby to recuperate at her home. The name of this stranger is Alexandra Byrnehouse-Davies. Alexa is a widow whose spacious home and heart have more than enough room for LeNay.

In time, LeNay forms a unique bond with Alexa’s two grandsons. Then war comes between them. Time and again, happiness seems to slip through LeNay’s fingers, as she encounters a series of losses that cut into her soul and wear away at her faith.

This might actually be my favorite of the series. The love story in this one is just so simple and appealing.

Gables Against The Sky

It has been nearly two decades since Alexa Byrnehouse and Jess Davies married and started a family, and their twins, Emma and Tyson, have now grown to young adulthood. The Byrnehouse-Davies family is one of the richest in Australia, known for its exceptional handling of horses and abandoned boys. Boys like Michael Hamilton, who seems born for trouble. Still, he holds a special place in Alexa’s heart--and he loves Emma helplessly, hopelessly from a distance as he works in the stables. Will their two worlds, now so far apart, ever come together?

In prose as vivid as the blue Australian sky, author Anita Stansfield expertly fashions a powerful saga of passion, betrayal, forgiveness, and ultimate redemption. In the end, when lives and virtue are threatened, true love and commitment are put into perfect perspective--and a happy ending is guaranteed!

This book had some great examples of why we need to forgive others. Some of the lovey, dovey moments did start to wear on me but what do you expect when you have more than one love story going on. I personally fell in love with Michael.
