Reviews

[Kier Scrivener]

I loved that it started when she was old and then goes to when she is young and throughout the years. I love full length life stories

[Kristina Pauls (ARC Reviewer)]

[Comments/Review years after reading] Janette Oke is a solid cozy, easy read, and her books are easily re-readable over and over again. They are great books to read when your mind is struggling to focus and you need to get away into another time and place, while still enjoying a story. I love all of her books and have reread most of them 2x at least. They are all very clean in every way.
