I know you should never judge a book by its cover but I just can‘t help it. When I saw this beauty sitting on the shelf I had to have it.

I‘m rating this as a pick for its weaving of stories about three strong women. They are disillusioned by the men in their lives in various ways yet discover their own inner strengths and become who they are truly meant to be. The stories are told in three voices in alternating chapters. There were some slow moments and no surprises at the ending, but overall I enjoyed it. 4/5⭐️

Two modern day women struggling with different issues meet and find a journal belonging to a woman from the past. Through friendship and faith they find hope and healing, even as they track down the story of the journal writer. Although predictable and formulaic, it was still a pleasant read.

A tale of three women, two in the present, one in the past, all surviving different issues. The lady from the past's story is told through diary entries, which I really enjoyed. Some light romance (the kind that wouldn't make Grandma blush), but primarily this is a book about sistahs making lives for themselves with the help of God. Good interweaving of the stories and a lovely fluffy end!

The secrets of paper and ink by Lindsey Harrell is set to be released in February of 2019. I received a net galley copy to read and after having read Harrel's the heart between us, I knew I had to read this one as well! A wonderful story set in a bookstore, & a main character who genuinely loves books! You'll be hooked as this story across the generations unfolds. Loved this book 😊 Trust me when I tell you, Lindsey Harrell is an author to watch!
