Rebekah A. Morris has lived her entire life (as of now) in Missouri. Being home educated during her school years was great, except for writing. That was the worst subject (along with math) that she had to do. It wasn't until after she graduated that she discovered the joys and wonder of writing. Now she can't write enough. After spending six years in research and writing, she completed her first book, "Home Fires of the Great War," a 500+ page, historical fiction about home life in the United States and Canada during the First World War. Since then, she has been an avid writer and always has more than one story going on at once because only one story at a time got tiring and dull.
A delightfully sweet short story about a young girl who wants a mother. I loved reading it and highly recommend it to those looking for a shorter read or as a read-aloud for the whole family.
Content: squeaky clean with a Christian perspective.
Aww, this was such a sweet little story! I really enjoyed reading it, and I appreciated that even though it was so short, the author managed to put in several good lessons. Rinnah was a very sweet little girl, and I loved the way she spoke about her father as her best friend and was respectful and well-mannered throughout, while still being extremely realistic. Everything about this story was so sweet. I would recommend it for all ages.
Awwwww! So sweet! A delightful little Cristian romance, told from the perspective of a nine-year-old! It's not very long, short enough to read in one sitting easily (which is what I did) but long enough to develop the characters and not leave any important details out. So so sweet! I'd highly recommend it!
Awww, this was so cute! It was fun to see things develop from Rinnah's perspective, and her ideas and opinions seemed just right for a little girl. Having it narrated to a diary made for a fun and unique voice. I would have loved to get a bit more of certain scenes, but that's the trouble I always seem to have with short stories. ;)
3.5 stars & 4/10 hearts. This was a very cute little story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. <3 I loved Rinnah’s name! And her Daddy was a darling. <3
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “‘You’re being awfully quiet, Rinnah Bird, is something wrong? Are you feeling all right?’ “‘No, I’m fine. I was just thinking.’ “‘What about?’ “‘What I want for my birthday.’ (...) “‘Chickadee, it’s not even the day after Christmas, your birthday isn’t until April, and you are already trying to decide what you want?’”
