A Small Tale of Uncommon Grace is a fantasy fairy tale by Carrie Birde. Although it is a fantasy, it read far more like a historical fiction with fantastical elements - and I loved it!

We meet Grace who is different from others, but no one knows just how different until she starts communicating with animals ... and then plants ... and even the wind! Rather than treat her as a witch, most people seem to adjust to her oddities until she helps a neighboring community and angers someone in the process.

The story is whimsical and causes you to think about life and the messages that might be waiting for you if you only stopped to listen for a while. It also made we think about how we treat those with differences. This was a great read!

Jane's Secret is a dual timeline Christian historical fiction by Jennifer E Tirrell. We quickly meet Jane, a wealthy young woman who stands to inherit a house and land once she marries. But her father dies, her stepfather is mean and greedy, and her life takes a different course. I loved her bold personality despite the limitations set on women of the day.

We also meet modern Kaitlyn who was given an old key that has been passed down through the generations. This key, she is told, will bless her and her posterity. When she finds a letter that gives her more information about the key, she decides to go to England to investigate. What starts out as curiosity is soon laden with romance, mystery, and potential murder.

The romance will keep you smiling. The history will keep you learning. The twists and turns will keep you reading. Definitely add this book to your TBR!

Brasket's novel, This Sea Within. Recently on Online for Authors, I had the pleasure of speaking with Deborah about her fascinating journey in crafting this unique narrative.
