Reviewed by Tshombye K. Ware for Readers' Favorite
Breaking the Silence by Diamante Lavendar is a beautifully written story about a woman's experience of childbirth. The story opens in the hospital as Joan Eastman faces a past fear in which she lost a child. And now she sits, pregnant again, with thoughts of fear. From there the story takes you on an emotional personal journey, a testimony of deliverance and the blessing of grace. The story moves through experiences to bring the reader into the story from a firsthand point of view.
It takes courage to write a story like this. The cover itself conveys a profound message of barrenness, which flows brilliantly with the theme of the story. The author states that it's based on a true story, which in itself is a work of bravery. I loved the author's point of view. With the diary inserts, you get an up close and personal invitation into Joan's fears, regrets, and prayers.
Sharing personal things in a fictional or non fictional way leaves you vulnerable to opinions. Courage stands in the face of opinions, knowing that the seed of the message was presented. An insert taken from the book speaks volumes. These words of truth can be utilized by anyone who is a victim.
'Victims never forget. Somewhere deep within their memories lie the things that have happened. It takes strength, great fortitude, to be able to turn the negative into positive. But it is essential in helping victims to fight their demons. And with God, it is possible.'
I recommend this book to anyone seeking words of encouragement through a wonderful, illustrated testimony of deliverance. The ending is the ultimate climax, in which you shall experience the beauty of Angelica Faith.

Naupaka Blooming by J.L. Eck takes you through the life and story of a young woman on her path to self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of Hawaii, the story begins with Leilani who dislikes being the center of attention. Her father is the chief of the village, and on the night of the luau she glimpses a light eyed man who catches her attention. He is part of the hula dance and she is completely fascinated by him. Later that night, she goes for a swim and she runs into the handsome, light eyed man who introduces himself as Kanoa. Leilani's father is unhappy with her choice of man as Kanoa is a hula dancer. The story then shifts to modern islander Liz, who moves to Hawaii after inheriting her great-grandmother's house there. Liz runs into many things and people who take her back to her past life connections. Will she be able to break away from the losses of her past life and marry Aaron, the local man she meets in Hawaii?
The metaphor and myth of the Naupaka flower running through the plot are exotic, just like the Hawaiian folklore and culture depicted in the story. The connecting images drawn between past and present are intriguing and mysterious and make the story exciting. All the characters are well portrayed, making the story memorable for readers. The story has romance, drama, action, loss, and wonderful descriptions of Hawaiian culture that make it entertaining. The story is fast paced and the exotic setting and the exquisite references to the myth of the Naupaka flower make it an insightful read.

First Family by Alice Langholt is a thought provoking look at the events as they might have happened between Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. If you have ever wondered why God banished Adam and Eve, how the snake had such influence as to make Eve eat the fruit, what were Cain and Abel really like, and why did one brother kill another then you MUST read this book.
Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel were given personalities that seemed logical and real. As they learned to live outside of Eden, they had no choice but to figure out how to stay warm, how to find food, how to love each other, and how to survive. Their personalities, quirks, ideas, and feelings made them real and believable under the circumstances they were forced into. Adam truly loved Eve and tried to take care of her as best as he knew how. Eve was a good wife and loved her two boys with all of her heart. Cain was an angry young man who was jealous of his sweet and kind brother Abel. God was always present and watching over them, but sometimes it was hard for Him to leave them alone to deal with their own free will decisions.
I really enjoyed First Family and will think of Adam and Eve as real life people with personalities forevermore. I can only hope that Alice Langholt will write a book for each of the people in the Bible, bringing them to life in a perfect scenario without changing or modernizing the story. First Family should be read by everyone - believers as well as non-believers - because it is that good. First Family and Alice Langholt have quickly and easily jumped to the top of my favorite book list. I believe it will to yours too.

When she finds that the place is run by three angels, Max, Bertie and Doug, and she also meets Kris, another young woman who is struggling in her own right, Amanda's life is changed forever.

Time Trials by Terry Lee follows the lives of eight friends - the Bad-Ass Girls - from when they first met in college through the next forty years of their lives. The story covers their friendship, their personal journeys, and the changes that came along the way from their teenage years through to the fifties. With each of the girls yearning for something more in life, going to college was, in a way, a promise of a new beginning; a chance to live life on their own terms. Terry Lee flawlessly narrates their journeys and experiences as they try to hold onto the friendship, eventually settling into their separate lives until a tragic event brings them back together. Follow the journeys and shenanigans of the Bad-Ass Girls as they move from strangers to best friends and back again, helping each other navigate through life's ups and downs.
Time Trials by Terry Lee is the tale of a vibrant friendship as it is tested by time. The most amazing part of the story is how such a diverse set of characters came together to form a dynamic friendship that would span decades. Each of the girls had a different story to tell and each brought something special to the group. There is real depth to each of these characters and their stories; each as memorable as the other but in a completely different way. The character growth across the decades was phenomenal as portrayed by the way each of them adapted to the changing times and circumstances, yet at the core they all remained the same people they were when they first met. I also enjoyed how the story began with the characters on the road to college, which felt like such a powerful symbolic indication of the new journey they were embarking on. Time Trials by Terry Lee is the tale of a true and fierce friendship. I especially liked that the friendship was not painted too rosily, which would have come off as corny and, by avoiding this, it felt genuine and relatable.

The Runaway Prophet by Michele Chynoweth is an inspiring story that will entertain and enlighten readers. What happens when a man tries to run away from his calling to embrace the path of justice? Rory Justice is a divorced man who only cares about doing his job and living a normal, upright life. Upon his deathbed, his father, an ex-FBI agent, makes an unusual request, asking Rory to deliver a package to a sheriff in Las Vegas. He finds out the letter is a warning about the horrific plan of terrorists to destroy the entire city. Instead of delivering the letter as expected, Rory decides to take the easy way out and post it. What happens when he tries to run away is what will blow the reader’s mind.
Michele Chynoweth is a master at creating powerful conflicts and the kind of suspense that makes the read even more gripping. The use of a definite deadline to solve the problem and stop the bad guys creates a lot of excitement and anticipation, and readers will want to know if the heroes can succeed before time runs out. The Runaway Prophet is well-written and the plot is more than perfect. You’ll never know what will happen next, no matter how hard you guess. The transformation that takes place in Rory, from being an indifferent man to working with a team of investigators and law officers, and most importantly to being capable of falling in love with Susan McAfree, is interesting. The author knows how to inspire readers by writing about her religious convictions without being pushy and boring.

Triangulating Bliss by Janelle Jalbert is a fascinating story filled with unusual encounters and heartwarming surprises. Mikel Thomas, a professional basketball player, has been found dead in his home in West Los Angeles and is alleged to have committed suicide. The story is all over the papers, and when Greg Ellison receives an email from the deceased, he learns another secret of his family. Spurred by the desire to uncover the truth, he starts an investigation that will lead him to the Bliss Bar & Grill, a place where people have been mysteriously disappearing, all involving an enigmatic man with blue eyes, a set jaw, and dark hair. Greg knows that soon it will be his time and the question is: Will he be ready to cross the threshold into another dimension?
This is one of those books that I finished reading before even noticing that I ever started, one a reader finishes and feels like holding close to the heart for a very long time. Janelle Jalbert has the gift of enticing and seducing readers with a story that is as strange as it is relatable. Her prose is beautiful, and it comes off the pages like music. To further entice and woo her readers, she has created memorable subplots that are equally interesting to read, compelling characters that readers will immediately fall for, and surprising twists that make the read even faster. Triangulating Bliss will appeal to a wide audience, including fans of romance and mystery. Janelle Jalbert is one of those authors to watch keenly and I can’t wait for the sequel to Triangulating Bliss.

I read Theory of Expanded Love straight through from beginning to end without a single break. I just could not put it down. But I was sad when it was done.
