Today‘s Prompt: LUGGAGE ON THE COVER

Babies, folks helping each other, and a difficult, but wonderful era.

One of those books you won't want to put down because the characters are so wholesome and because the story is so homey and heartwarming. Patience and Becky are characters you would want for a friend.

Prompt: CUT CORNERS

Patience is a midwife, and Becky is a nurse.  Both women deliver babies together and share what they have food wise and material wise to “MAKE ENDS MEET.”

It is one of those books you won't want to put down because the characters are so wholesome and because the story is so homey and heartwarming.

My feelings on this one are pretty similar to how I felt about the first one in this series. The concept is interesting and the characters are great, but the writing leaves a lot to be desired. #historicalfiction

Second in the Hope River series. I love these books so, so much. This stands alone but DO go back and read the first book! Becky and Isaac are trying to make ends meet in rural West Virginia during the Depression while Becky is also caretaker to Isaac. Not as much birth/midwifery in this one as the previous book, so broader appeal. Becky is slower to love than Patience, but she definitely gets there. Isaac is a GEM. I love every single character.

Enjoyed this second installment of the Hope River novels. Similar tone and similar characters as the first novel but a different perspective. Enjoyed the history, understanding of the effect of the Great Depression, and the midwifery.

Sometimes the library gods withhold their goodness from you. I must have spent an hour looking through what was available to download. I came across this one. Not a bad way to spend the day, running errands around town. Perfect for those times when you can't spend intense focus but can still follow along.

The second book was good too!

The hope river story continued in this 2nd book of Patrucia Harman it gave you lots of detail and made you feel like you were part of the hollow. i really enjoyed this story

#photoadaynov16 I seriously scoured every bookshelf in my house yesterday looking for something #headless and couldn't find anything. I didn't think to check my Kindle collection. Looking for something else today, and BINGO! 👍 @RealLifeReading

This is the second book in the Hope River series and it follows Nurse Becky Myers from book 1. I enjoyed it, but thought the first book was a bit better.
