No Safe Harbor by Elizabeth Ludwig
A page turner!
Step back in time and get a glimpse of life for the
immigrant Irish in New York.
No Safe Harbor, by Elizabeth Ludwig begins with the historical setting of Ellis
Island in the year of 1897. The heroine, Cara Hamilton finds she is all alone
when she reaches America and her brother doesn’t come for her.
Page-after-page, this story is filled with intrigue and dark
characters.
As Cara needs to trust those around her while she searches
for her brother, she is thrust into a culture of Irish Americans who may not
have her best interest at heart.The twists and turns kept me wanting to find out more about
who lurks in the shadows and the boardinghouse where Cara stays. And the one
she trusts the most—is the very man her brother has warned her to stay away
from.
This is a great historical novel filled with suspense and
romance.
The title alone gives the reader an idea of what the book holds!
I
recommend this book and look forward to reading Ludwig’s next book in the
series, Edge of Freedom.

Winning the Widow's Heart--Book Review
In Sherri Shackelford’s debut novel, Winning the Widow's Heart, she paints a good
picture of Kansas homestead life in the 1870s.
From the first page, no—from the first sentence, I was
hooked.
This book reminds me of an old western movie—where one event
sharpens the next!
A great read—I highly recommend this book!

The Wedding Journey--Book Review
Cheryl St. John has always been one of my favorite authors.
As well as a great writer of contemporary and historical romance,
St. John also writes Inspirational or Christian fiction.
Her book, The Wedding Journey, is part of a
trilogy of Irish lassies that have embarked on a journey to America. This novel
centers on Maeve Murphy and the ship’s doctor, Flynn Gallaher.
Maeve, with her talent for helping others, and the good
doctor, who needs an assistant, find themselves
working together as they tend to the sick and injured aboard ship. While Maeve’s
concern is getting her sisters to America, Dr. Gallaher battles against his
attraction to Maeve. In this novel, Ms. St. John does an excellent job creating a picture of Ireland and
living aboard a sailing vessel bound for America in the year 1850.
Throughout the book, Cheryl St. John's love for God is revealed through her
characters.
A good cozy read.
