Sneak peek into Love on the Horizon

The best dreams were the ones that came true.

And Magnolia Davenport’s dreams were about to come true. She could feel it in her bones, as old Mrs. Fryman used to say.

She took a step back and scanned the bustling city. Hadn’t she read in a discarded newspaper that Chicago had reached over a million people? Yes, her decision to travel West would be a good one.

The train depot beckoned her, and she entered the stately brick Dearborn Station with its enormous clock tower. Folks hurried in every direction. Hopefully, with twenty-some railroad lines and countless departures, one of those departures would surely lead her to the new life that awaited her.

No one would be the wiser that a twenty-three-year-old woman would be boarding for free.

For what could she do? The two dollars she’d saved would only be for absolute necessities.

The lines to purchase tickets meandered through the building. Mags stood on tiptoe to see the departure signs when she noticed a wealthy couple in front of her in deep conversation.

“I anxiously anticipate seeing our grandchildren again,” the woman, who wore an elegant dress of the latest fashion, said.

“Yes, well, I’m never fond of visiting Horizon, but I know how much it means to you, and it’s been all of two months since we saw the grandchildren.”

“Indeed, Bertram. I miss them the second we board the train for Denver, and this time, having been in Maryland, I miss them all the more. Besides, Horizon is such a lovely place, and the people are so kind. I’ve actually made a few friends there.”

The man named Bertram, in the finest of silk hats, grunted. “Yes, Gladys, we all know you’ve made friends in Horizon.”

The topic that Bertram and Gladys spoke about intrigued Magnolia, and she stepped closer. Horizon sounded like just the place she’d like to live, especially if people were kind. Goodness knows she’d had her share of spiteful and cruel people in Chicago—many of whom were related.

MY REVIEW

The story is so realistic that I felt transported back in time. The author does a great job of developing her characters that allow readers to get to know them better. When I read about the price of a newspaper I chuckled. My how times have changed. For some, paying a nickel seemed expensive as they are barely able to afford food. Many face hard times as they try to keep their family fed and a roof over their head.

Mags is such a strong young woman who has not had a great childhood. After a loss she finds herself unwanted. I admired her for going out on her own to have a better life. I’m not sure her “white lies” were good but she is resourceful. I can just see this young woman with dirty clothes trying to blend into the crowd as they get ready to board the train. Her struggle with believing that God loves her is illustrated very well. How many times have you asked where God is when you are going through a trial?

Timothy is a hard worker with a soft heart for others. I really liked how he wanted to help a certain young boy and his family. Timothy illustrates how we should help others and share our faith as well. It was fun watching Mags and Timothy start a sweet relationship. With a few bumps in the road they will find that God is real, has a plan for them and gives them a new beginning.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

The Bible Companion Book 6 Psalms Tour & Giveaway

About the Book

Book: The Bible Companion Book 6 Psalms: Journey Through Scripture One Day at a Time

Author: Karen Westbrook Moderow

Genre: Bible Study

Can you tell God how you feel? The Bible Companion Book 6 helps you approach God with both honesty and respect. A simple one-chapter-a-day format lets you engage with Scriptures without the pressure of schedules, homework, or heavy reading loads. Short daily readings and thought-provoking questions connect your story to God’s Word. For personal and group study.

In the Books of Wisdom (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs), God speaks to us in poetry—the language of the heart. In Psalms we mourn, celebrate, and worship with people who run to God in the best and worst seasons of life. Their experiences give us hope. If you feel alone, if you are hurting, if you need grace, join the psalmists who find forgiveness and strength in God’s presence.

More from Karen

I once attended a small church that had several young rowdy boys. I wondered if there was a way to settle them down by doing something fun after church that also had spiritual significance. I decided to bribe them. If they memorized the verse I gave them from the Psalms, I would give them a treat. It seemed a good idea at the time.

The first week we talked about how God is the one who cares for us and meets our needs. I taught them Psalm 81:10: “Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” I pulled out a stick of gum and told them if they could quote this verse with the reference the following Sunday after church, I would give them the gum. The idea was to continue this until they had a few verses under their belt. There was a lot of jumping up and down and hand clapping though I wondered how many would follow through.

The next Sunday after church, four little boys ran up to me. “I know the verse,” one little guy said. He recited it as his compadres listened, then opened his mouth wide and waited for me to unwrap the gum and put it in his mouth. (With this group, you didn’t dare give it to them. You just hoped they wouldn’t stick it under a church pew before their parents got them outside.) One after another they came, chirping out the verse. I soon realized some hadn’t memorized it. Because the verse was short, they were just repeating what the first boy said. Oh well. It counted. I fed them like little birds though the moment felt sacred, somehow, as if I were serving communion.

The next week, they learned Psalm 34:8: “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” That week, I gave them mints. But when I started perusing the Psalms for other appropriate verses, I realized I’d worked myself into a corner. The Bible has a lot of verses about food but not many are in Psalms. It was slim pickings. I considered:

Psalm 119:103 “”How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” I couldn’t very well squirt honey into their mouths, and I didn’t think the parents or the pastor would appreciate having four active little boys running around the sanctuary with sticky piece of honeycomb in their hands.

Psalm 141:4 wasn’t going to work either. This verse is about the wicked. It says, “And do not let me eat of their delicacies.” In this context, any treat I brought would be a temptation. Not a good idea.

Psalm 23 looked like my best hope: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” In the end, I decided against it too. What was I going to do, bring a whole meal? And set up all the onlookers as “enemies?” Also not good.

So three weeks into my ill-conceived Scripture memorization plan, the best I could come up with was Psalm 145:15 “The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.”

The proper time, sadly, no longer included my after-church Bible memory program. I tried to let the boys down gently. (From this I learned to set an end-time for such initiatives. Better yet, have a plan before starting them!) Still, whenever I come across the verses they learned, I think about those boys. I see their little upturned faces, eyes closed, mouths open, waiting expectantly and wonder if they remember too. Do they remember that God is our provider? That He is good? That He delights in meeting their needs? If so, my little failed experiment was worth it.

MY REVIEW

I have really enjoyed reading each Bible Study in this series. The study is very thorough and easy to follow. It allows readers to dive into the chapters and develop a better understanding of scriptures. I liked how the book gives us examples from the Bible along with questions to emphasize what was studied.

I enjoy books like this because I am able to read slowly and see how God loves us, encourages us and gives us direction in the book of Psalms. The words flow with inspiration and guide us to experience the depth of His love. I like that I can take my time and read each daily chapter while taking notes while a new revelation.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

Gathered from the North Tour & Giveaway

About the Book

Book: Gathered from the North

Author: Barbara A. Curtis

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: November 18, 2025

He survived the war, but he didn’t come home whole. Hope of a ready-made family promises healing—until he learns the truth about his love’s adopted baby.

Beth Calloway has always longed for a family, but after a childhood marked by loss, she’s learned to live quietly—typing reports at the Boise Foundling Home and keeping her heart carefully tucked away. Until one snowy night, a baby is left on her doorstep. With no room at the orphanage and no one else to help, she takes the risk…never expecting the handsome wounded soldier next door to take notice.

Recently discharged from the army, Private Timothy McPhearson is a man on a mission. Haunted by his best friend’s death during WWII, he’s determined to uncover the truth—and escape the guilt that won’t let him go. Falling for his grandmother’s quiet tenant and the baby she’s sheltering isn’t part of the plan…but Beth and little Elly Rose begin to chip away at the walls he’s built.

Just as the three begin to imagine life as a family, a shattering revelation threatens to tear them apart. When the truth about baby Elly Rose comes to light—and danger closes in—Beth must fight to protect the child she’s come to love…even if it means letting go of the man who’s claimed her heart.

A heart-tugging postwar romance of second chances, found family, and love worth risking everything for.

About the Author

Barbara A. Curtis lives in Connecticut with her husband, and they have one grown son, a blessing to their hearts. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Novel Academy.

More from Barbara

In Gathered from the North, Mrs. McPhearson’s first step in solving a problem is to sit down with a cup of tea. During the same year of 1945, another tea drinker in real life—Ruth Campbell Bigelow—was enjoying tea in her New York brownstone and experimenting with finding a flavorful blend using black tea, orange rind, and sweet spices. When she hit upon the final recipe, Constant Comment was born, along with the Bigelow Tea Company.

While flavored teas are easy to find in grocery stores, tea shops, and online now, we can be grateful for Ruth Campbell Bigelow’s days of experimentation in her own kitchen, as Constant Comment was the first specialty tea in the United States. And where did the name come from? When she shared her new tea with others, one reported that this tea “caused nothing but constant comments.”

I hope you enjoy Gathered from the North—perhaps over a cup of tea, specialty blend or otherwise.

Blessings!

Barbara

MY REVIEW

I hope you are ready with tissues when you read this emotional story. I felt the most sweet and selfish love from our main character Beth. Her courage, strength and faith in God helps her begin a new chapter in her life. Working at a foundling home Beth sees many children come through looking for families. Each day she can hear the wails from innocent babies and see the sad eyes of small children waiting for a family. It must have been so hard during this time period to witness the dire need to have people step up and take in a child. Oh how she longs for a family of her own, but her insecurity and pain from her past leaves her with little hope.

I cried the moment Beth opens her door one winter evening to discover a baby in a basket. Who left this innocent child on her doorstep? I admired Beth for following her heart to care for little Elly Rose. Her life drastically changed the moment she decides to keep her. During this time period people relied on ration stamps to buy food. Beth finds herself wondering if she made the right decision when she glances at Elly Rose snuggled up and safe.

Timothy returns from war with a medical discharge. It is not how he wanted to end his stint in service but now he finds himself back at his grandmother’s house. There is one mission he is determined to accomplish which involves the death of his best friend who he served beside. I like how Timothy is kind, honorable and has a heart to help others. His first encounter with Beth paved the way for a relationship that will show him that God has a plan for him.

With a little mystery, secrets and revenge this story will keep readers entertained till the last word is written. I love how the author illustrates God’s unconditional love and how faith can see us through difficult times. The historical facts brings this story to life with realism. Don’t miss a chance to go back in time and witness struggles and life changing events in this deeply moving story.

“Everyone needs to be loved.”

More from Sara

Ever since childhood, I’ve loved to travel. Memories of family cross-country car trips still make me smile. Breakfast and lunch prepped from goodies chilled in the ice chest. Kellogg’s single-serve cereals or cake doughnuts with milk and juice. (Rare treats in our household.) A sandwich prepared at a roadside picnic table for lunch. As an adult, their lack of nutrition makes me shudder.

These days, my tastes have grown more sophisticated. Scrumptious buffet breakfasts in European or Asian hotels make my mouth water. Local dishes creep into my books. And no trip to Antwerp, Belgium is complete without a serious stop at a delectable chocolate shop. Naturally, for the reader’s sake, Sampling these treats for authenticity in the novel is a must, right?

While tempting the palate with sumptuous Viennese pastries at Heiner’s, my favorite Konditorei (pastry shop), Vengeance in Vienna whisks readers through the stunning Austrian countryside with assassins at Jacob and Riley’s backs, and a terrorist financier determined to destroy them. Dehmel’s is another Konditorei readers might want to visit. Both Konditoreien are steeped in history, atmosphere, and Old-World charm. Are you salivating yet?

Better yet, grab a copy of Vengeance in Vienna and curl up for a nail-biting armchair trip to beautiful Austria filled with heart-pounding romantic suspense.

MY REVIEW

A night filled with love in the air on the calm waters aboard a sailboat sets the stage for an unforgettable story. Can you imagine being in a romantic setting when all of a sudden you hear a bullet shoot past your ears? Jacob and Riley know at that moment that someone wants them dead. How will they be able to get to shore with flying bullets everywhere? At that moment, they realize that their quiet boat ride was over.

This begins an adventure that keeps readers on the edge of their seat. With a trip to Austria the author brings us a story filled with espionage, secrets, jealousy and faith. I liked how we see flaws in Riley where she wants to be in charge at times. Jacob wants to protect her but her stubbornness gets in the way.

Jacob will be tested in many ways which at times clouds his vision. He is juggling a fiancé, a kid sister and a jealous person at work who I found to be a nuisance. With all this going on, I wanted to take a few deep breaths for him. Will he be able to complete his mission and keep those he loves safe?

More from Misty

Hello Reader Friends!

I’m BEYOND excited to share a brand new series with you! This idea has been percolating in my mind for a couple years now—a mash-up of two of my favorite historical romance genres: Regency England and the rugged American West.

In the Lords of the Rockies series, you’ll meet the five sons of an English duke who were sent to the wilds of the Montana Territory for their protection when they were boys. They’ve grown up there, become ranchers and mountain men in their own right.

It’s Regency meets the Rockies as these aristocratic brothers navigate the challenges of ranch life.

I’m especially excited to introduce you to the first book in the series, Mail-Order Duchess!

Enoch Balfour is one of my all-time favorite heroes…so incredibly swoony. He’s the second son, which means he never thought he would have to return to England and take over his father’s role as the Duke of Clarence. But now his eldest brother has passed in an unexpected riding accident. And Enoch has become the heir intended.

Can you imagine how hard that must have been? Suddenly having to leave the only life you’ve ever known to take up the duties of a title an ocean away?

And then there’s Mandie Beaumont, a young widow hoping for a fresh start in Montana. But when she arrives, an accident steals her recent memories, leaving her with no idea why she left her comfortable life in Savannah to travel across the country and marry a rancher she’s never met. Or maybe her previous life wasn’t so comfortable…

Can you imagine waking up one day to find yourself in a strange place with no recollection of how you got there or what you were running from?

I don’t want to give away too much, but let’s just say Mail-Order Duchess has all the ingredients for a story you won’t be able to put down—a marriage of convenience, hidden secrets, and an unlikely romance blossoming in the face of incredible odds. I’m so excited to share this story with you!

I’ve had such fun crafting the unique premise of an English aristocratic family making their way in the American West. Get ready for more heartfelt Western adventures tinged with Regency flair as the Lords of the Rockies series continues!

I pray you love Mail-Order Duchess!

Blessings!

Misty

MY REVIEW

This author has a very special gift when it comes to writing. Her stories are emotional with characters that I fell in love with. She illustrates faith by using the characters’s flaws to bring them closer to God. The time period is realistic with vivid scenes which place readers directly into the story. I love how easy it is to see the scenes come to life.

In this story the author collides the west with regency England. What a fascinating concept where a very distinguished gentleman meets a young woman fresh from the Wild West. Talk about opposites, these two main characters are groomed from different cultures. I knew right away that this would be a story that will have me reading as fast as I could.

It is a marriage of convenience story but oh so much more. We have secrets, danger, trust issues and not to mention two people who must learn to work together coming from different backgrounds. Hard choices will be faced as Enoch and Mandie both are desperate to follow God’s direction for their lives. As in many marriage of convenience stories we discover why each person decides to take a risk without knowing the other person.

I especially liked the journey that Mandie was forced to take when no response from Enoch was waiting for her at the telegraph office. A young woman alone faces a long trip with strangers sounds a bit scary. I’m not sure I would be that brave to travel with people I didn’t know to meet a total stranger who would become my husband. In this time period it is common for these types of marriages to happen but it sure would make me second guess everything. What will happen when Enoch discovers a secret that Mandie has hidden from him?

Enoch has his own worries when he must support what his father has asked of him. He knows he must now take on the task as the eldest son to change his dreams to something he was not anticipating. When he learns that Mandie has arrived he is not happy. Why didn’t she get his telegraph? Oh his mind is going in different directions as this young woman shows up. His strong convictions are a great example of a man who cares for others.

Thank you for giving readers a story that shows determination, trust and most of all faith that God has a plan. Mandie and Enoch both become enduring to me because they are honest, caring and face challenges with deep faith as their guide. Don’t miss this incredible story of a marriage of convenience where compassion shines and unconditional love is illustrated.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
