In the Shadow of the River

By Ann Gabhart

MY REVIEW

I do not recall having ever read a book with the setting on a showboat. That made this story quite unique. The author makes the setting come alive. I am a homebody and love “nesting”, but I could feel the draw of the setting as I read the book. The boat and the entertainment was fascinating.


I really enjoyed the characters in this book. There is quite a bit of character growth in Jacci and Gabe. They both face difficulties, and those are used to test their faith.The faith and hope theme are well done and woven well into the story. Yes, the story is predictable, but it’s interesting and enjoyable getting to the conclusion.


I wasn’t surprised by much of the mystery/suspense in the novel, but there were one or two interesting twist and turns.
This author writes such interesting stories, and this one definitely didn’t disappoint.

I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

When the Meadow Blooms

By Ann H. Gabhart

MY REVIEW

Such a sweet story. This story was a good one for me. I’m bedridden much of the time, and my daughter has done so much of the work. I have had a difficult time with that so I really relate to Rose. It is hard to rest while one’s daughter is working, yet it must be done. I loved the attitude of the girls as they worked. My daughter handles the responsibility so incredibly well. I could so relate to that part of this lovely story.

This was a great read to come after a mafia story! I grew up in the city and now live in the country. I can totally relate to wanting to live or just visit a beautiful meadow. The girls are so sweet, and even as a reader I wanted to give them a hug.

Such a terrific faith theme woven in this book…hope, faith and forgiveness. Friendship and family, good times and tough times, all the things that make up our journey of life are in this story. It’s a sweet , heartfelt story…probably a new favorite from this author.

Along a Storied Trail

By Ann Gabhart

MY REVIEW

This was a lovely story and so well written. I really liked Tansy and her love for books. I had heard about the people who delivered books during the Great Depression, but this story really brought that to life. I didn’t realize that they used materials to make books or that they delivered so many magazines.

I really enjoyed the characters in this book that bring the storyline to life. It had wonderful dialogue between the characters. The story seemed so realistic and true to its time period. There was quite a varied group of characters in the book all adding to a well written story.

I loved the faith theme in the book as well. It was intrinsic to the story and well written. Forgiveness, love, hope, and thankfulness were all woven so well into the plot. The dialogue of spiritual things was intriguing and added much to the novel.

A beautiful cast of characters, wonderful scene and era brought to life, and a realistic and interesting faith theme all made for a novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. This book will make it to my forever shelves-beautifully done!
