After beginning to follow the Ingrams journey through their blog shortly after sweet baby Trek's diagnosis, I felt a crazy connection to a family that I hadn't met yet, and to a little baby that I knew I probably never would. This book brings you closer into the Ingram's struggle as they learn the terrible news about treks diagnosis and what that means for them as a family unit. The attention to detail about the afterlife as well as the Ingram's day to day life is outstanding. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question what really does happen after we leave this life but what this book will not do is disappoint you. It's beautifully written and is a true testament of a family's love for an amazing little boy.

"Saving Bobby" is amazingly, the most heartwarming story I've read all year. You will not be disappointed when you pick this one up. I was given this book by the author herself, and I am so glad that I got the chance to read it. This is not my usual genre, but this story won me over.

Thirteen year-old Bobby's life starts to turn for the worst on his thirteenth birthday. When he finds out that his mother is sick from cancer, and does not have that long to live, he does everything in his power to save her. During his journey, not knowing where to go or what to do, he finds company of a girl named Annie. Annie, accompanies Bobby on an unforgettable journey to save his mother, and to save himself. He never believed in God or miracles, but Annie slowing guides him in the path to God. Bobby starts to see God's work and accepts him into his life and heart.

This was an incredible read about God, miracles, angles, and heartbreak. This is a story that will truly stay with me for a lifetime. I love everything about this story: the courage this young boy has and everything he will do to save his mother; the unforgettable plot that will have you in tears; and most importantly, the miracles that God will do if you believe and accept Him in your heart.

I loved that this is the type of story that does not push God on you, it simply "shows" you what God is capable of. I would definitely recommend this book to others who want to enjoy a heartwarming read that will stay with you forever.

A. wonderful. heartwarming. emotional book!!!!  I so LOVE it!  I am so happy I bought it.  It is a wonderful, heartwarming, emotional story about Leila Warner, who goes to Australia to meet the brother of her dead husband and to try and talk him into going back to the states and donating one of his kidneys, if a match, to her 12 year old daughter, Callie, who needs a new kidney asap so she can live.  Ryan didn't even know his brother Nick was killed in a car accident 2 yrs. prior or that he even had a niece.  He is the black sheep of his family and left the United States 15 years ago and swore he would not step back on U.S. soil ever again.  Thus, their story begins.  It's a wonderful story.  It's one I'll read again.  I HIGHLY recommend this book. I'm sure you would love it too.

Wow. What a great piece of fiction. Relevant, important. You get a good sense of the story from the blurb. Amy has Cerebral Palsy, Matthew has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but the beauty of this story is in the nuances of emotion, in the tiny victories and the heartache of first love. Basically, I loved everything about this story. I celebrated every milestone with Amy, I felt every panic attack with Matthew. The author did such a fantastic job creating a believable story centered around two unique characters. I never wanted it to end, so much so that I read it cover to cover. Even the secondary characters felt rounded and essential, with their own hopes and fears. I loved Matthew, with his idiosyncrasies and OCD habits, he tapped his way right into my heart. And Amy? So smart, so braveI found myself rooting for her from the start. The way their story unfolds is heartbreaking and heartwarming. Triumphant. Love, love, loved it.

This story has it all and you don't want to miss it! I will be picking up more books by Cammie McGovern!

What a wonderful, heartwarming, clean, love story. It brought tears of both laughter and sadness but the emotional road was beautiful and the destination well worth the trip. The characters are a driving force in this story. They become real to the point that you feel their emotion and rejoice in their hard won triumph. Here is a story to be savored as it lingers in your imagination long after you've finished. Excellent editing and smooth, natural writing style enhances the reader's experience. I will be reading this one again. I highly recommend this book.

A beautiful, heartwarming, heart tugging story. All There Is has to be one of the best books I've read in quite awhile. Emma and Jake have a heartbreaking past, but can they accept that past and move into their future? It's not easy going for the two, as Emma refuses to talk about the past and Jake thinks they have to talk about it in order to move forward. 14 years ago Emma and Jake were the boy and girl next door, friends who had hopes of it becoming so much more. Up until the fire that tore them and two families apart.

Now, Emma's bakery needs major repairs and Jake is just the carpenter to help her, that is, if Emma will accept his help. As they fall back into a new friendship, the scars of their past are lingering, but I love how they move past them and fall in love. Their connection is based in part on their shared past, but that they allow themselves to be together in the present is just so beautiful. I like the moments of fun and laughter, even as the sadness and grief that sit below the surface are just waiting to burst forth.

Thank you Violet Duke for this beautiful, sweet, sexy story. I am so looking forward to more from Juniper Hills!

Could a girl get any luckier than with a man like Bo?  Nope, unless it's of course in a romance novel.  This was an endearing story that had me crying and cheering all at once.  Certainly not a book that I could put down.  In fact, I read this one in all one sitting.  The Gregory family are truly wonderful people.  This is definitely a must-have and certainly one you could read over and over.

I really loved this story. As an avid animal lover, especially for those in need of good homes, I'm glad I purchased this book. A Life Worth Living is told from the dog's perspective, and the author really takes you on this dog's journey from beginning to end. The fact that some of the proceeds go to her local shelter put a smile on my face. A wonderful short story that will touch your heart!

I LOVED this book!! I have to admit I shed lots of tears while reading this, but I also got a large dose of happiness from the wonderfully well told story of Riley and his new found family. The author had to relive a traumatic childhood in order to fully tell this story, but I felt that when he finished writing this book both he and Riley were both healed. You will go thru a whole range of emotions while reading this book, and be glad about it.

Wow. This is my first time trying out Julie Richman's work and I have to say I am very far away from being disappointed, in fact I'm in awe. I haven't felt this emotionally connected to a book in so long. This was an absolute beautiful, heartwarming story. The words that escaped through the mind of the author into this story through Wes and Tara's mouths were absolutely wonderful. I cried, laughed and smiled multiple times throughout the book. This has definitely become  a top favorite for me this year 2017.  I am very much looking forward to reading more of her future and current work.

I am a dog person and a hiker, you can't argue with so many 5 star reviews. I absolutely loved this book!! I am an avid book reader and I can read a lot of books that make me laugh out loud, but rarely can I find a book that brings me to happy tears filled with emotion. I found myself telling the story back to my husband and would still cry in my re-telling. The 68 cents about did me in. This book has so much emotion built in, true, Tom goes on and on a few times, but the entire story is heartwarming. I firmly agree with Tom's visions, and emotions while hiking, being in the outdoors on a trail does make you see life more clearly. You can't read this book without falling in love with Atticus. I would and will higly recommend this to any of my fellow bookreaders. A true feel good story full of love and devotion.

A wonderful heart warming story that had me alternately feeling good and on the verge of tears as we learn of Skip's travails. Tim Greaton's The Santa Shop has a message for all of us at this special time of year as the holidays draw near. A wonderful mix of fantasy and fact, we are lessoned with the meaning of living a full life, and reminded of how much we have to look forward to. With a straightforward yet descriptive style, Tim puts us at the scene and in fact in the scene. This wonderfully well told story deserves five stars. You won't be able to put it down. I smile when I think about it.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. This is a fantastic story. Dash and Campbell are so very precious. The way their insecurities and inability to find true love until they find each other just melts your heart. This is one of the sweetest stories I've been privileged to read in a while. The supporting characters, Saffron and Rueben, bring another warm feeling to the tale. I loved this story. And the ending, well, wonderful, wonderful!

It is easy to fall in love with the characters in this story, to feel their struggles and pain and to want happiness for them in a way that you would want it for a close friend.  Such a heartwarming read that I couldn't put down!
