I really enjoyed reading the old and interesting traditions and beginnings of the various holidays we celebrate each year. It's so fun to know and come to understand the events that led up to these becoming holidays and how each has a significant historical meaning.

I enjoyed reading of a holiday that as I grew up in Minnesota, was a holiday that was always celebrated there. That was May Day. I remember little baskets on my door step and giving some out as well. Then when we moved to California, I was sad that there was no celebration of that particular day.

I enjoyed the vintage cards and the mentions of how different countries celebrated these days as well.
A nice way to share the meaning of holidays to family members and to learn of their true meanings.

I really enjoyed this sweet and clean historical fiction and romance. It's part of a series of brave women who were not afraid to take a stand in what they believe needed to be changed and you will see some historical figures that appear in this book! Loved that. I enjoyed that the Willow Valley people return such as the owner of the hot chocolate shop and others familiar from an earlier book. The characters are good people trying to make the best of the situations that they are in. However, yet it is not necessary to have read the previous books in order to be totally aware of what is happening in this, the third book. It's a great stand alone story.
This is a very enjoyable book and it is well worth a read!

Another sweet and clean and definitely enjoyable book by Linda Weaver Clarke. I love the cover and have to admit, the look of a cover really influences my first thoughts of a book. If I don't like the cover I don't read or buy the book.
I love how the author weaves her ancestors' stories into her fiction. What a wonderful way to preserve your ancestors' stories while writing an engaging and interesting story. I loved the way the character of Jonathon grew throughout the story and how he learned to impress the woman he was hoping to court. I loved how Serenity was not as "refined" as her Welsh auntie had hoped for her to be.

It's a great story and I am so happy to have read it. I enjoyed it so much!
