Johnny Rankin can’t keep a secret. This wouldn’t be such an issue if his family (the true-life Rankin family of Ripley, Ohio) were not involved in the Underground Railroad. Johnny’s “loose tongue” could endanger many lives. Oh, how he wants to help lead slaves to freedom in Canada! But he simply cannot be trusted to keep his mouth shut.

Book Review: Praying for Your Prodigal Daughter

Written by Janet Thompson
Reviewed by LaTayne C. Scott
    
This is a meaty, often-gritty book about the realities of having a child who has taken a path away from the Lord, and often from her parents as well.  It asks the reader to face the fact that patterns of behavior can often be traced to one’s forebears and replicated – if not deliberately stopped—in the lives of children and later generations.

Book Review: The Valentine Edition

Written by Robin Shope
Reviewed by Donald James Parker

Turtle Creek, Wisconsin is my kind of place. They have one restaurant (Ma’s Diner) and a weekly newspaper. The people are much friendlier that Jodi encountered in Chicago. Her move to the small town lets her see an entirely different style of life.  She finds romance an hour after she hits town. It takes the entire book to discover where that instant crush is going to end up. There are a lot of twists and turns as the adage true loves never runs smooth manifests itself big-time in this story. It’s an emotional roller coaster ride for the characters and for the readers.

Book Review: The Red Siren

Written by M.L. Tyndall
Reviewed by Maureen Lang

Set in the sultry Carolina coast in the early 1700’s, the first scene to the last offers page-turning swashbuckling, witty repertoire and memorable romance. With a heroine who is a lovely Carolina belle during the day, an infamous pirate by night, and a hero who is a swarthy ship’s captain bent on catching pirates, conflict abounds.
