In Every Heartbeat
By Kim Vogel Sawyer
Published by Bethany House

Set in Chambers, Missouri in 1914, three young friends head to college and a world of possibilities. Libby Conley, Pete Leidig and Bennett Martin have very different aspirations; aspirations that just might tear them all apart.

Libby Conley, a headstrong tomboy, aspires to become a serious journalist. When she is refused employment by all four newspapers in town she begins to write romance stories for a popular woman's magazine hoping to develop a portfolio that will lead to more serious work. Yet as the term progresses, Libby encounters unexpected challenges and emotional developments that cause her to question her goals for the future.

Pete Leidig, kind, patient and sure, believes with all his heart that God has called him into ministry. A calling so strong, he is even willing to give up his one true love, Libby Conley. Before Pete can face his future however, he must face his tragic past. Pete is convinced he will never be able to let go of the anger and resentment in his heart until he tells his parents what their abandonment cost him; not the least of which was his leg.

Bennett Martin, mischievous rogue, desires to be the top man on campus, join the most popular fraternity and finally come out of the shadow of his best friend Pete Leidig. Cast off by his parents as a young child, Bennett has always felt unwanted and less than good enough for anything or anybody. As trials arise, Bennett must choose a path for his life and determine the kind of man he wants to be.

In Every Heartbeat is a captivating novel filled with identifiable emotions, reactions and desires. Sawyer's character development is exceptional, drawing the reader into an intimate relationship with each. Even at the story's end, I longed to read more about our three young characters.

I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

This trilogy of books is one of the best I have read.  The books reminded me of the writings of Jane Austin.  The audio reader brings the story alive in a magical way.  It was truly an enjoyable experience.

In this first novel of three by Julie Cannon, the story begins with Imogene Lavender Rose who is raising 2 of her own daughters, Loutishie of whom was her sister's child, and also Jeanette. Loutishie is the sweet girl, and Jeannette on the other hand is belligerent. Imogene is around 64 herself, and her dearest husband and soulmate Silas, is dying from cancer. Imogene and the girls are devastated by this, and after his death, Imogene simply cannot get over it, almost grieving too death. Her solace though, has always been her garden, and over a long period of time, this is what gives her comfort more than anything. And then her friend Wanda, at the Kuntry Kurl, tries to jack up her spirits even more by suggesting a whole new makeover, and going out to find another man.

As Imogene very reluctantly tries Wanda's and Martha's suggestion of dating, it is nothing but disasters for the most part. When she meets Henry, a widower for the first time, it seems all he can do is speak of his dead wife, then she goes on to meet other men, the last one Mr. Mabry, of whom she almost marries when he dies of a sudden heart attack.

Through all this, Jeanette, the older daughter is out getting herself into trouble with men. She is a tough character, rebels against Imo, smokes and everything else. But then one day as she dates an older married man, getting pregnant with his child, this changes, and her life in spite of her mother's shame, changes for the better.

The book is very hard to put down, and the next book, Mater' Biscuit, is another great sequel as to what happens in the lives of these three next.

A Man of Honor by Loree Lough*****

A Man of Honor is the third book in the First Responders Series.  Like the other two, this book catches your attention and draws you into the story and the lives of the characters.

Dusty Parker is a part-time pastor/search and rescue team member and full-time administrator of a school for troubled boys.  He mentors eleven young boys, providing a stable home for them and keeping them away from a street gang in the neighborhood that threatens them if they do not join the gang.  Dusty is street wise and knows what these boys are up against.  His life changed when he gives his heart to Christ which leads him to service to those in need.  These teenagers learn how to live with integrity, honor and trust and faith.

Grace Sinclair is a petite inner-city school teacher who is dedicated to teaching her students and helping them any way she can.  She may be petite but she has strength that comes from her Savior.  She relies on Him in everything in her life.  She opens her home and heart to those in need.

Grace first meets Dusty while volunteering on a search and rescue for a missing young girl.  Over the next several months they continue to bump into each other resulting in a growing attraction and love.  Grace and Dusty are perfect for each other.  They both share a love of God, family and these young boys; even past hurts from 9/11.

As they plan their future together, someone from Dusty's past appears with shocking news for him.  What will this mean for Grace and Dusty?  Can they build a life with this new development?
Tragedy strikes just when things are going so well.  Will Grace continue to trust God for whatever the outcome of this tragedy is?  Can she go on and continue to mentor these boys?

The characters in A Man of Honor are true to life characters.  They struggle just as we do.  They have hurts from the past and present; danger threatens their lives; they experience sorrow and grief; learn of God's love for them and to trust Him in all things, joy and hope, service to others, honor and integrity are woven throughout the characters and the story.  There are twists and turns and unexpected challenges to overcome and an ending I was not expecting.  Keep those tissues handy, you will need them.  This is one of those books that you can't put down to do much needed things like sleep and it stays with you long after it is finished.

True story set in the Depression years.  The loss of one young but true love, a second loveless marriage, children born and children die and life continues until it doesn't.  It is not unlike the lives we all lead with joys, losses, successes and failures.  I would recommend.

This is a wonderful heartfelt story of how so many lives can be touched and changed just by the interweaving of one little thread. It will keep your interest. Can't wait for the next one.

This book was the first that I read in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed it as to me it was the best out of the three.  I could almost here her playing and how it revealed her emotions.  Simon was my kind of hero, loyal and protective. When he leaped across the table near the end of the book 'be still my heart"  i know we don't need someone to save us, but it is nice to have someone stand up for you.  Great book, I read and re read  until the book fell apart.  About to invest in another one.

This is really a touching story of friendship between three men. They have known each other for years and all make their living making violins. I enjoy music, almost any kind and I have known that some very old violins are worth lots of money. However it was so interesting to read how much thought and care and time - a lifetime goes into making one. I loved this story.

This is a book about three characters, only two of whom are humans. There are the little touches. Frances and Yasha are the humans. Norway is the third.

Its a book of exquisite small touches, never too much but not too little.  Yasha describes his father, Vassily, the baker.
His father was sometimes eccentric, but never insane; not terribly attractive, but adorable, easy to adore. He smiled when he had amused himself and shouted when he was mad. His pants were yellow from dozens of broken eggs. [He was a baker, after all.] His hair was gray and long around his ears. His core, Yasha suspected, was made of peace.

His core [his son suspected] was made of peace. What a lovely phrase that is!  And it keeps on the same way through the rest of this extraordinary book, which never overreaches but in its modest way, says lovely things about what it is to be human, young and uncertain about where you're headed.

On the eve of her graduation from college, Francess near-perfect, future-ahead boyfriend dumps her. The scene where he does it is subtle but knockdown hilarious (I don't know how you can convey both of these feelings at the same time but Dinerstein does it.) This is when her parents decide to divorce too and boycott her sisters impending wedding. (The groom isn't Jewish enough for them.) Frances cant take it. She flees new York for an artists colony as far away as she can possibly get: Lofoten, a tiny island in Norway ninety-five miles north of the Arctic Circle. Frances is an artist, or wants to be one. In Lofoten she can indulge her fascination with color. Indeed, the whole book is suffused with color brown wood, marigold, a lemon color sun rising over lime-green grass, a yellow house with windows and doors trimmed in white, to add a little mildness, to serve as cream, the color of the sky overhead in this Land of the Midnight Sun changing with the hour and day. Yasha? Hes there to bury his father, whose last wish was to be buried at the top of the world." In Lofoten, these two temporarily dislocated souls meet. They strike sparks off each other, have a romance of sorts, and end up coming to some sort of terms with their lives.

You can learn some of this just by reading the books liner notes.. What you won't get from the liner notes is how lovely the story is, and how economically and elegantly its told.  Even the minor characters are given their due: including Yashas mother, who by any ordinary standard of judgment is a word Im supposed to avoid in a review written for family consumption.

This is Rebecca Dinersteins first novel but her second book to be published. The first was a bilingual collection of Norwegian poems. She is a talent: she can tell a story and tell a poem, and sometimes, in this lovely book, the two almost become mixed together.

Done on a tiny budget I hope you enjoy this book.  Thanks go to the Cardiacathletes who were brave enough to go first and submit their very personal and moving life stories.  There is much to consider in this relatively small book.  It had me laughing at some pages and crying at others.  There is a lot of upliftment in there if that is a real word.  I do hope it adds momentum to changing attitudes towards people who have overcome heart disease and I do hope it helps to save lives.  Thank you for choosing this book.  Lars.
