My Sister the Author

I'm so proud of my sister who recently e-published the first book of her Saginaw Series. They're sweet stories that take place in our hometown and are filled with familiar places and faces (including my daughter Sarah who starts her own bakery!!).

Here is the review I wrote for Amazon:

I loved the characters in this book. I felt like I knew and liked them right away. I read it out loud to my daughter and we were intrigued from the first sentence. I like the way the author combined the present day with a more nostalgic, sweet, and innocent time of long ago (I could tell because I'm a native of Saginaw and recognized the long-gone Bertie's Bakery and Webber House). The result is a story for today's kids that shows them a life they can choose to have if they put away the video games! I also like the integration of spirituality into the book. It's a part of the girls' lives and never seems contrived or off-putting. The life the author presents is inviting in every way, from the beautiful relationships that include friendship, romance and an abiding sense of community to the loving but real families. I highly recommend this book, especially as a read aloud with your daughter or granddaughter!

Go here to order it (only 99 cents!). And here to download a Kindle for PC's (free!). Congratulations, sis! Love you! :)
