“The Secret of Pembrooke Park” Book Review...

Dec 29, 2014 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Julie Klassen’s newest release, The Secret of Pembrooke Park. Julie’s writing inspires me and I look forward to each of her releases with anticipation!   As is my custom, if I could ask Julie one question about The Secret of Pembrooke Park, it would be — “Did you ever get confused when writing the different story lines?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk!                                                    ...

Dec 26, 2014 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! Another Friday interview! Today’s interview is with Denise Hunter. This past Monday, I had the opportunity to review her newest book, A December Bride. So without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk – Special Edition!  Interview: RR: Hi Denise! It is so wonderful to have you here at Rachel’s Back Talk. To begin, let’s talk about when you knew that you wanted to be a writer. DH: In my early 20s I started toying with the idea of writing a book. But I was in college, and then I started having kids, and life got busy. It wasn’t until my late twenties when my grandfather passed away that I realized life was too short to back-burner my dreams. RR: So how would you describe your writing process? Are you more of...

“A December Bride” Book Review...

Dec 22, 2014 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Denise Hunter’s newest book, A December’s Bride. This book is a novella apart of a “Year of Wedding” series that Zondervan has published – one novella for each month of the year. So if all goes well, I will be publishing a review for each of those books each month! So stay tuned!   As is my custom, if I could ask Denise one question about A December Bride, it would be — “Why did you have Layla and Seth set such a quick wedding date?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to...

“The Brickmaker’s Bride” Book Review...

Dec 15, 2014 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Judith Miller’s newest book, The Brickmaker’s Bride. This is book one in the series “Refined by Love.” I’ve read some of the books Judith co-wrote with Tracie Peterson, but this was the first “solo” book that I’ve read of hers and it was wonderful!   As is my custom, if I could ask Judith one question about The Brickmaker’s Bride, it would be — “Did you enjoy writing about the tense relationship between Ewan and Uncle Hugh?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk!            ...

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing another one of Julie Klassen’s books, The Silent Governess. I absolutely love reading Julie’s books and I hope you will too!   As is my custom, if I could ask Julie one question about The Silent Governess, it would be — “What gave you the idea to write a book about a girl who couldn’t speak for parts of the book?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk!                                            ...
