Coal Black Lies

By Cindy K Sproles

MY REVIEW

This won’t be a book that I soon forget. It has many twists and turns, so many characters that learn and grow, and a faith theme that is strong and true.

Nobody is perfect. Even if you don’t lie to everyone else. How many lies do we tell ourself and then convince ourself that they are true? Lies cause so many problems in this world, and we are surrounded by them. 

This book is full of forgiveness and redemption while showing love, truth, and innocence through a mentally handicapped child who is so incredibly sweet and loving. The main characters learn that they truly can trust and lean on “the everlasting arms.”

This was a five star read for me for so many reasons. Readers who love inspirational fiction will definitely want to get their hands on this novel.

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

The Song of Sourwood Mountain

MY REVIEW

It’s a slow moving sweet story that I really enjoyed. The characters are well done. I enjoyed the main characters, and I really enjoyed so many of the secondary characters as well. Ada June was probably my favorite along with her dog Bo. She is incredibly sweet, but she needs a home and some help.

I really like how love is presented in this story. It’s deep, and it’s lasting. Mira was so careful to wait until true love was present before sharing those words with anyone. “Love” is a word that is so quickly thrown around these days. I really liked how true, abiding live was presented in the characters hearts-especially between Mira and Gordon.

The people were presented in an environment that one could feel and smell. It seemed so real and alive.

Once again this author has written a beautifully woven tale of love and loss, and the faith in God that gets people through the difficult times and gives us days in which to rejoice!
