My Man and me


 





 Some random facts about me and my man
(this blog post idea is based on  Mama Kat's Writing Workshop)


1. He is an only child. This sometimes causes conflict at our house because I am the baby in my family and we are both used to having our own way. 
2. We were married by a Justice of the Peace. I do not regret this at all! However I do wish we had a big party afterwards with all our friends.
3. My husband is 90% sarcasm and 10% cock eyed optimism. This balances out my 90% reality and 10% pessimism. 
4.  We both love photography. 
5. He is very technical and analytical. Which works out perfectly because I'm totally not. 

In short he is my perfect match.   post signature

Book Review: A Heartbeat Away (In the Quilts of Love Series) by S.Dionne Moore

About the Book:
When a band of runaway slaves brings Union-loyal Beth Bumgartner a wounded Confederate soldier named Joe, it is the catalyst that pushes her to defy her pacifist parents and become a nurse during the Battle of Antietam.

Her mother's mysterious goodbye gift is filled with quilt blocks that bring comfort to Beth during the hard days and lonely nights, but as she sews each block, she realizes there is a hidden message of faith within the pattern that encourages and sustains her. Reunited with Joe, Beth learns his secret and puts the quilt's message to its greatest test---but can betrayal be forgiven?



Here's a preview of the book:

My thoughts on the book:
I love books set in the Civil War area. However, I had a hard time finishing this book. The plot was very similar to many other books out there set in the Civil War ear.  Boy met girl when he is wounded. Boy gets sick and is taken care of by the girl. I found this event repeating often throughout the story. I did like the fact that the heroine did have a flaw.  This made her more realistic. I think all to many heroines in stories are perfect. I also thought there were to many question to keep track of while reading the story. I kept wondering what was going on. I was given this book by Litfuse Public Relations. I was given this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
