In a Mother Arms Finally a Family/Home Again Mother Day Anthology Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historical #29 Jillian Hart Victoria Bylin 9780373828098 Books Reviews

• This is TWO books in ONE, and as Jillian Hart is one of my VERY FAVORITE authors ... I KNEW I HAD TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK ...and am I glad I did!
  
  The first book, "Finally a Family" is actually another McKaslin book ... if you have read either, (or both, as I have) the contemporary, or the historical, McKaslin books previously, you definitely will want to read this book as well. Now, this one is about a two little girls, Prudence and Penelope, that want a mother so very bad that they set out to find a wife for their dad and of course they pick one ... their dad, Sam, has other ideas and that IS NOT WHAT HE WANTS. She, Molly, of course, falls in love with these adorable little girls that definitely find trouble wherever they go, along with the help of their pet cow and her antics ... it, of course, all works out! It is a darling book interspersed with humor which adds to the enjoyment of this book.
  
  The second book is by Victoria Bylin, whom I have not read previously it is called "Home Again". I could feel the heartbreak of this mother, Cassie, as her son was acting out and causing so much trouble that she truly did not know how to help him. She moved back to her amall hometown thinking that this would solve the problem, but of course, his deeper issues followed him. This problem could be true for mothers today, as well as, all those years ago. Her former love, Gabe, who also is the town sheriff, tries to help her with her son. This is so hard for her as she finds she still has feelings for him, which she definitely feels first, that she does not want and then when she acknowledges them to herself she is not sure that she should feel. The town's people are very judgemental, especially one woman that seems to have a lot of influence over the others which adds another element in this book ... all and all this is a very good book and a new author that I will definitely be reading more of.
• This book by Jillian Hart (whose books I've read before) and Victoria Bylin (whose books I now love) was exceptional! I enjoy stories I can relate to or learn from. This book gave me both. The next criterion I have is to laugh and/or cry. I did both in each story!
  
  Therefore, since it met and exceeded my expectations, I heartily review it as 5 stars out of 5. If I could do so, I would give it a 10. If the readers like historical Christian fiction, plus the opportunity to laugh, cry, rejoice and relate to the characters, they cannot go wrong in the purchase of this book! Enjoy! )
• good christian book to read
• Finally a Family
  his was a sweet novella about the McKaslin family. I've read most of the Love Inspired books, so enjoyed getting another Jillian Hart book. She did such a good job with the language. I loved the words that were used. The two little girls and their pet cow were just the sweetest thing! I felt for the adults - Molly and Sam - and the sadness they had faced in their past. This book had no major disaster in it - just a sweet story about how twin girls and a cow brought together two lonely hearts!
  
  Home Again
  This was just an excellent story about a divorced mother who left her husband after he beat her and threatened to beat their son. Now her son is 12 and becoming a Mama's boy. The local Sheriff, who is also her ex-fiance, wants to show the boy some fatherly love by teaching him how to become a man. But Cassie doesn't agree with some of his methods. Because she left Gabe at the author, she is also shunned by the small town and must find a way to convince them to shop at her store or she won't be able to stay there. Can her newfound love for Gabe and the town survive? Great story about Luke's becoming a man, a great father/son relationship, and I really liked Gabe's devotion to Cassie.
• "Finally a Family" is a novella featuring a woman who lost her husband and then her only child. She goes to live near a relative and is putting her life together. She wonders if she will ever marry again, but one thing for sure, it has to be to a very loving man who loves her genuinely. She meets the doctor in town who has two darling twin girls who are out of hand! He needs a wife! It takes him quite a while to admit it to himself. In the meantime, he is around Molly and begins to like her and wonder if he could ever have a good marriage. Once he decides, he asks her to marry him. But, he never says he loves her! Will they marry? Better read and find out! (I love Jill)
  
  "Home Again", written by Victoria, is the first work of hers that I have read. In this story, Cassie comes back to her hometown after living in the city with a husband and son. After separating from the physically abusive partner, she takes her son back to the little town she remembers to start over. Her first love, is now the sheriff. He still loves her and has never married. He tries to step in and be the father her son really needs. But can she trust love again? Will she ever marry Gabe Wyatt? Read and see!

• Anyone who wants to understand what its like to be considered trash when you could not control what happened to you will find hope from reading this book. Keeps all who read it food for thought.
• Excellent story line. You brought out all the characters well. It is nice to read books without trash in them.
• Very sweet and easy read. Well written.
