"Top Gun" Started It All

"The Daily Question for You and Your Child" is a three year long journey you get to take with your child, just by asking them one question a day. Each day their is a new quesion that the book gives you to pose to your child ranging from, "What is your favorite cookie?", "If you could trade places with someone for a day, who would it be?", and "What gift would you have given the Baby Jesus?

She writes with such a beautiful, classic, gothic way that I haven't had the pleasure of reading in a...

I have not read a historical romance that dealt with such a controversal topic in a long time, and it is not because I don't want to read one, they are just extremely hard to find. Kristi Ann Hunter has been one of the few Christian authors to address the issue of illegitament birth's of the nobility, and I absolutely adored the way she went about doing so. "A Defense of Honor" follows a young woman named Katherine who runs a secret home called, Haven Manor, for children of illegitament birth from parents of nobility. Katherine is hiding much more than just children, she's also dealing with the guilt of a past mistake that changed her life and her best friend's forever. After briefly meeting a man named Graham on a trip to London, she never would have believed he would soon be riding up to Haven Manor's doorstep as a favor to a friend. As Katherine starts developing feelings for Graham, she has to address some of her secrets, some of the things she...
