Lost Alaskan Memories

 book cover for Lost Alaskan Memories

Lost Alaskan Memories by Heidi McCahan was such a refreshing look at amnesia plot line. 

Max Butler was thought to have died on a mountain in Peru. When he shows up in Opportunity Alaska two years later, every one is shocked. Max has no recollection of his life before his head injury, so things are a little tense as he seeks to remember what his former life was like.

Hayley Morgan is determined to guard her heart after Max chose climbing instead of settling down. She refuses to tell Max how close they were before he left. She just didn't know if she could forgive Max for all the damage that was done.

This is a good story about second chances. The characters were well rounded and there was lots of interesting sidelines.  Family, faith and forgiveness was the key element to this wholesome clean story. Heidi McCahan's writing is paced and well developed.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary ecopy of this book which I received from Net Galley. All views expressed are my honest opinion..

Tea in the Garden

For most of the US, summer is coming to an end.  Here in the deep south, we still enjoy sunshine and balmy days.  So, I wanted to spend a little time in the garden.  


My African Violet has been so full of blooms.  I just had to take it out to the garden and enjoy its beauty.


Old Royal Bone China sugar and creamer.


The scarf is a Orenburg Lace Scarf that my daughter bought on a trip.

Tea in the Garden.  It's always a delight to share a tea party.

Last days of summer

It seems a lot of folks are taking the last few days of summer for a quick little vacation. 


And do you know what we heard while we stayed here?

Nothing, absolutely nothing :-)

Makes it hard to come back to the "real" world

A visit in history

On a trip up north, we visited the restored home of Lt. Col. J. Jones, built in the 1700's.




Lt. Col. Jones was a personal escort to Martha Washington, our first Presidents First Lady, when she visited Pennsylvania.

This home is located in Morgantown, PA. 

It's always interesting to find historical landmarks whenever we travel.

The Second Story Bookshop

 book cover for The Second Story Bookshop

The Second Story Bookshop by Denise Hunter is a second chance romance story.

Shelby and Grays relationship is rocky at best. As high school sweethearts, they are torn apart by circumstances that leaves Shelby heartbroken and Gray rejected. When Gray returns he learns that he has been left 49% of the bookstore that Shelby thought she had inherited. What was Gram thinking? 

The story is light reading. Clean romance, beautifully written as only Denise Hunter can. The second chance takes you through some drama and a slow build of trust. The story has a good flow and keeps your interest.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
