"The Complete Mystery of Matthew Alcott" is so much more than your usual mystery! This novel is a loaded cannon you won’t want to miss!
Matt Alcott is a journalist who works in the records department on archives for the Mormon Church when he discovers some very dark and shocking secrets from the early days of the church as he follows the history of Joseph Smith. Some of these secrets will shock you where he uncovers sexual promiscuity with the prophet among other evils. He will also go on to reveal the secret societies that are alive and well today within the church. He decides to write a expose with all that he has found. The information will rock the Mormon world. While finishing his novel he finds romance within a most forgiving town. He continues to battle old demons and ones he knows personally from his past. The head honchos at the church find out about the novel and will stop at nothing to keep this book off the shelves. In an attempt to do so, they serve up an offer Matt surely can’t refuse.(Shades of a Godfather here?) When he discovers who is behind this scheme he backs off and this is when it gets down and dirty!
J M Oborn is well-versed in the history of the Mormon Church. I was so engaged in this book that I could not, and did not, put it down. It was so interesting to learn about this intriguing religion. I love the way Oborn’s character is portrayed as a strong man who is able to handle an enduring romance in the midst of all the turmoil he faces. I believe this novel is on its way to becoming a best seller!

Brigitte Goldstein has created in "Court of Miracles" a story version of the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. And as Lerner and Lowe did with the musical "My Fair Lady", she has formed a brilliant story based upon the theme of a sculptor who creates a masterpiece from a woman. It is Paris in the 1600's and Antoine, the Marquis de Valinquette, has taken a beggar girl with a spectacular voice from her home in the slum called Court of Miracles, refines her looks and education, marries her and calls her Galatee rather than her given name of La Fauvette. Galatee is a social success in upper class Paris for her looks and abilities are incomparable. But Antoine neglects to give his Marquise the love and devotion that she needs and Galatee has an affair with his best friend, Guibert, the Count of Mallac. Pregnant with Guibert's child, Galatee runs away, back to her natural home in the Court of Miracles. Will Antoine ever win his lady back into his life? "Court of Miracles" must be read and savored to find out.
Brigitte Goldstein has created an enchanting version of the old Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea which is highly well-written, well-edited and well-formatted. All characters are believable and three-dimensional. For instance, when Galatee or La Fauvette is distressed by her pregnancy and runs back to her mother's one room home in the slums, her decision makes sense. The book's plot is well-crafted and runs true to the theme of Pygmalion and Galatea which will delight the reader."Court of Miracles" is not to be missed.

Gabriel’s Daughters by Janet Kay Jensen captured my attention from the first page and held it to the last. This is the story Zina Martin, sixteen years old, pregnant and abandoned by the man she thought loved her. Now she has no choice but to leave the only home she has ever known. Raised in a fundamentalist polygamous community, she was in all reality promised to another man. When she is offered a ride by a man and wife over the road team, she ends up in Chicago with a beautiful family to take care of her. Losing her baby and facing many trials and a distrust of men, she makes a go of her life and becomes quite a master chef. Missing her family, she finally, after ten years, connects with her sister who, as a doctor, also left the compound. Now that she has made this leap, can she also connect with her family in Utah and gain back her trust in men?
The author did a fantastic job developing the plot of this book. Janet Jensen breathed life into her characters. The characters are easy to connect to and the situations they face are very realistic. The quotes and scriptures before each chapter relate to the content of that chapter. This book never gets boring as we follow Zina on her journey: from her travels with Simon her roommate, to hiding out in her sister's barn to Miss Carolina, the old country healer from the hills of Kentucky. This book is appropriate for any age. I highly recommend Gabriel’s Daughters by Janet Kay Jensen.

"The Duke Don't Dance" by Richard Sharp is a fascinating journey following the lives of a group of friends and acquaintances we first meet at Annapolis in 2011. They are attending the wake of one of their own, who has recently passed away. From there we return to High School in 1960, to begin learning about the people with whom we will be very well acquainted by the time the story concludes. This 50+ year journey ends as we accompany one of the friends back home after the burial at Arlington, the day after the wake. It is a poignant reflection on real life, which will resonate with everyone who lived - and lives - during the years of the so-called "silent generation". Mr. Sharp paints a vivid, pointillist mural of that era.
"The Duke Don't Dance" is a story of real life. Every reader will associate with one or more of the characters, and will recall friends long past in the lives of the other characters. You will love, and you will hate in turn. The story is reminiscent of happier times, and times of grief. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry. It will make you wonder how friends from your youth are doing, and might even prompt you to look up a few of them. Perhaps it will give you strength to resolve some long-standing issues in your own life. Above all, you will feel the richer for having read it.

"The Lucky Cake," written by Anna Prokos and illustrated by Christina Tsevis, is the wonderful telling of a Greek tradition. Billy is very excited as it is New Year's Day and he cannot wait until the cake is cut into as he is hoping that the lucky coin is in his slice of cake. Billy is hoping for a year of good luck just like his brothers have had in the last two years when they had the coin in their slices of cake. While the family is participating in this tradition, the story of how this tradition began and the significance it has to Greek culture is shared.
This is a well-written story with cute illustrations. I was aware of this tradition prior to reading the book; however, I had no idea of how the tradition began or about the significance of it. This book is a great resource for anyone whom would like to learn more about a specific tradition or would like to help their children learn more about a culture. The story is easy to follow and a child's attention will be held throughout the book as it is a mix of learning about the tradition and discovering who is the lucky one to end up with the coin this year. This is a nice way to share a new tradition with children, especially since the cake recipe is included at the end of the book. After reading this book, your child will be asking to make this a tradition as a part of your family's New Year's celebration!

Rosemary Gard's Destiny's Dowry begins on the country side of Croatia in the later 1800s with a birth and a death. Mila was dying, and her last desire was to hold her unborn son in her arms. Her husband Mato rushes out and retrieves an infant, but by the time he returns his wife is dead. Distraught, Mato runs off and leaves his ten year old daughter Anka to raise the new baby girl and his neighbors to bury his wife. The midwife wonders where the baby came from, had Mato bought it or stolen it? So was the beginning of Katya's life. She always knew she was different with her flaming red hair and green eyes. Her life would not be easy, and was only fifteen when her brother tried to sell her to a Turk. The search for her true heritage took her on a journey filled with danger and love.
Destiny's Dowry is Rosemary Gard's first novel, but I am sure it will not be her last. Gard offers readers a story that flows like it was written by a seasoned author. The plot is character driven and Katya is a lead character you won't soon forget. Mato was very unlikable. He was a man that wanted more out of life but cared little about his responsibilities. Even when he brought the infant to his wife it was to satisfy his own motives. Gard successfully brought the Croatian culture of the era to life. I suspect we will be hearing a lot more from Rosemary Gard and I plan to put her at the top of my list of authors to watch.

Liselle (Elle) leaves her failing marriage and urban life in California to move back home to Canada, but she does not stay there long. In order to help an old friend, she moves to the outermost regions of British Columbia to the Queen Charlotte Islands among the Haida tribes and their cultures, storytellers, and the Eagle and the Raven. With little money to her name, she eventually begins to fit in. Meeting Jonah, getting a job as a reporter at the Sentinel, and trying to solve a mystery of a burned out village is just part of the life she is living, a life she is starting over.

The Spruce Gum Box is author Elizabeth Wilder's debut novel and she has tweaked the imagination of readers with interest in the cultural and historical development of the state of Maine. Set by the Aroostook River in a disputed area bordering Nova Scotia, a young British man falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy lumber industry executive. Their love is forbidden, and when a child is conceived and born out of wedlock, the young man Jed is faced with having to protect his infant son and himself from retaliation and certain death.
As boundary issues are pursued between the United States and Great Britain, Jed happens upon a settlement of Micmac Indians who befriend and protect him. In kind, Jed learns Native American ways and he grows to be an important member of the Micmac community. When the tribe attempts to explore getting into the lumbering business in order to protect the interests of the tribe, Jed is instrumental in assisting the Micmacs toward their goal of becoming independent land owners.
The author obviously engaged in considerable research for this novel and, as a result, it is a pleasure to read, both from an historical and a cultural aspect. Ms. Wilder writes well, and her characters are interesting and well developed. She weaves Native American habits and spirit into her story, and she does it in such a manner that her characters are both believable and endearing to the reader.
