First off, I’d like to share These Healing Hills by Ann H. Gabhart. I had the privilege of meeting this sweet lady in person back in the Spring. I bought and asked her to sign this book for me, even though I had already read it on eBook. It really is that good!

For day 3 of The Thankful for Books Reading Challenge we are to share some books that we did not finish. #DNF.
