Daughter of Twin Oaks (A Secret Refuge Book #1)
I found it a captivating story. The characters were realistic, it had great Civil War depictions and the heroine was a decent person and could stand on her own two feet. Some of the parts I found a little unbelievable or predictable, but nothing crazy.
Seeking to fulfill the promise she made to her dying father, eighteen-year-old Jesselynn Highwood determines to take her little brother and the family’s remaining Thoroughbreds from Twin Oaks plantation in Kentucky to her uncle’s farm in Missouri, where they will be safe for the remainder of the Civil War.
Jesselynn is also fleeing a cruel man in Confederate uniform who has pledged to take revenge against her for refusing his hand in marriage. No longer safe at Twin Oaks, she embarks on a perilous journey, taking on the momentous responsibility for the lives and welfare of all who go with her.
They ride at night and hide during the day, dodging both Confederate and Union troops along the way. Encountering hunger, sickness, and the devastation of war, they finally arrive in Missouri only to discover that the situation there puts them in even greater danger. Discouraged, disillusioned, and facing a severe testing of her faith, Jesselynn will stop at nothing to save her family, the horses, and whatever remains of Twin Oaks.

Excellent Book!!! As a vegan, I am always looking for great smoothie recipes…..highly recommend it!!
Most smoothie recipes and routines leave you feeling ‘starved’ after just 90 minutes. It’s hard to stick to a new healthy routine if you’re constantly hungry enough to kick a kitten if it would get you a Klondike bar.
Don’t kick kittens, they’re precious.
And don’t starve your body, it’s precious too.
This book gives you 19 “feel full” smoothie recipes that will burn fat and melt away unwanted pounds for hours after you drink them.
Small Changes, Big Results
Making small but key changes in your routine can rev up your metabolism and start melting away any unwanted extra pounds you may be struggling with.
Turns out that our bodies are wired to resist big swings in anything new. An example of that is when we get sick. Getting sick means our body is “resisting” something and fighting it off.
Same thing happens when we try to overload our bodies with radical new workouts, crazy New Years resolutions, and extreme programs that turn our lives inside out.
Your body and mind throw up strong resistance to these sudden big changes.
Turns out that we don’t fail our New Year’s resolutions so much because of being lazy or undisciplined… but more so because that’s how we’re physiologically wired.
Change means the “unknown”. And our minds and habits aren’t the only things wired to resist change – our bodies are as well!
Dare To Say NO to “Magic” Pills, Potions, and Powders
After the hamster wheel of “magic” pills, potions, powders, gimmicks, fads, and tall promises things finally hit an emotional wall.
What did I really want?
I wanted to:
1. Feel good about my husband kissing my neck again. Every time my sweetheart kissed my neck, it made me feel fat. And he was doing absolutely nothing wrong.
2. Burn my “fat jeans”. I had a closet full of jeans and could only fit into one pair. And I was determined to not start buying more jeans in a bigger size. I wanted to finally fit into the rest of my jeans, and literally burn my fat jeans.
3. Feel ‘Okay’ in a bikini. I was sick of wearing a skirt all day long over my bikini while out boating with friends or spending time at the beach. I wanted to at least feel “okay” in a bikini and not feel mortified if someone saw me without a skirt on.
I know, BIG goals, right?
Well, emotionally they were HUGE milestones when I hit them.
What are your emotionally charged goals that might not be big from the outside but would mean the world to you?
What I learned is that if you’re ever going to hit them, it’s a process of small changes made consistently over time. That all stack up to big results.
One Simple Thing That Burns Fat for 12 Hours
One of the small changes I made was to start a smoothie routine. In addition to my regular meals. And it turned out to be one of the best things you can do to start burning fat and melting away unwanted pounds on a daily basis.
Because even thought it’s just one simple smoothie, if you’ve got the right recipes with the right supplements and ingredients added to them – you’ll be able to jump start your metabolism.
That means you’ll start burning fat and keep burning fat throughout the day.
Sticking To It Is Key
This book though isn’t like most recipe books.
You’ll learn a few simple, easy to do, but very effective strategies for actually sticking to your smoothie routine. If you don’t consistently do it, don’t expect real results.
Turns out there are a few simple reasons why it’s hard to stick to a new routine of any sort. And in this book you’ll find the best tips for sticking to your smoothie routine.
Part inspiration, part “how to”, and complete in perfect recipes. This book is the perfect start to melting away unwanted pounds with a smoothie routine.

10 Principles and 7 Daily Habits To Engage Your Weight Loss Autopilot
Most people think that in order to lose weight they need to start exercising and burning calories so they run off to the gym not realizing they have sabotaging themselves.
Exercise is great but when it comes to weight loss it all starts with food.
You are either eating food on purpose, for a purpose or not.
We discuss this in Principle #3. Here is a sample:
“I will let you in on a secret I have learned over the years of being in shape and out of shape. When we eat on purpose consistently we naturally time the consumption of our calories to be used as fuel and not stored as fat. Eating food for fuel will lead to quicker sustainable weight loss than any other method because it creates a consciousness as to why you are eating what you are eating, how much of it you are eating and when you are eating it.”
Master just this one principle and you will lose weight.
What You Will Learn About Your Weight Loss
Let’s start first with a few questions:
Are you still struggling to lose weight even after reading all the diets out there?
Are you sick and tired of feeling like losing weight is hopeless?
Do you feel frustrated that when you do lose weight you gain it back again plus more?
Each day you walk out your house you are bombarded with misinformation and misleading marketing as to what you should eat to lose weight. People are desperately looking for a solution and are being set up to fail because if you succeeded you wouldn’t need them anymore.
You can avoid all that because you will learn:
How stop the cycle of losing weight and putting it back on
Tips on how to modify the plan each time you plateau
Why we get fat in the first place and how to reverse it
The honest reality of what you will experience during weight loss, no B.S.
How eating less is making you gain more
Identify and eliminate weight gaining triggers
If you want to be in control of your weight and transform your life, devour the information in this book and take action.

Call the Midwife: Shadows of the Workhouse (The Midwife Trilogy Book 2)
This is an amazing book and very well written. I could not put it down!
The sequel to Jennifer Worth’s New York Times bestselling memoir and the basis for the PBS series Call the Midwife
When twenty-two-year-old Jennifer Worth, from a comfortable middle-class upbringing, went to work as a midwife in the direst section of postwar London, she not only delivered hundreds of babies and touched many lives, she also became the neighborhood’s most vivid chronicler. Woven into the ongoing tales of her life in the East End are the true stories of the people Worth met who grew up in the dreaded workhouse, a Dickensian institution that limped on into the middle of the twentieth century.
Orphaned brother and sister Peggy and Frank lived in the workhouse until Frank got free and returned to rescue his sister. Bubbly Jane’s spirit was broken by the cruelty of the workhouse master until she found kindness and romance years later at Nonnatus House. Mr. Collett, a Boer War veteran, lost his family in the two world wars and died in the workhouse.
Though these are stories of unimaginable hardship, what shines through each is the resilience of the human spirit and the strength, courage, and humor of people determined to build a future for themselves against the odds. This is an enduring work of literary nonfiction, at once a warmhearted coming-of-age story and a startling look at people’s lives in the poorest section of postwar London.

Cami Checketts writes books that will make you think, and make you feel. She captivated me with The Sister Pact, and doesn’t lose speed with her newest ‘must read’, Dead Running.”
Sheila DeChantal
Book Reviewer – Book Journey
“Dead Running can make a claim not many mystery/thrillers can, and that is that it is also really funny. I loved everything about the book. There was murder, romance, family bonds, 5K training, humor, good guys, bad guys, and an ending that left room for a sequel.”

If you are a Nicholas Sparks or Richard Paul Evans fan, I’m betting you will like author Meserve’s new book GOOD SAM. Uplifting, heart wrenching and a two hankie read, this story is a winner.
The novel is being developed into a film and television series by Wind Dancer Films.
Good Sam won the 2013 Reader’s Favorite Book Awards Gold Medal while still in manuscript form.
After years covering murders, disasters, and tragedy for Los Angeles TV news, Kate Bradley knows that violence and cruelty are everywhere and that good is hard to find. When she is assigned to cover a story about ten people who have each found $100,000 in cash on their front porch, Kate is intrigued by the anonymous Good Samaritan, dubbed Good Sam, who is behind it all.
As interest in the extraordinary gifts sweeps across the country, Kate finds the elusive Good Sam and her exclusive interview with him thrusts her into the national spotlight. Even as his message captivates viewers and wins ratings, Kate suspects he may not be all he claims to be and that the real Good Sam is still out there.
Searching for answers, Kate unravels the powerful and unexpected reason behind the mysterious cash gifts and the true identity of Good Sam becomes the biggest surprise story of her career, turning her personal and professional life upside down.
“In her debut novel, Meserve writes a fast-paced mystery/romance that’s well grounded in the nitty-gritty details of local TV news…a solid feel-good romance sparked with mystery.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Rarely have I found myself so satisfied in my soul at the end of a book, having joined a relatable protagonist on her admirable pursuit to uncover truth, no matter the danger or obstacles, and in the process overcoming her own fears and learning to trust again- that there is still good in this world and it starts with you and me. Thoroughly entertaining and inspiring. Everyone should own a copy. It just might make the world a better place.”—Catherine Redfearn
