Book Review: When We Last Spoke

When We Last Spoke

Author:  Marci Henna
Publisher:  CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform
Pages:  242
Audience:  Adults
Genre:  Fiction

Take a trip to Fireside, Texas and you will want to stay there for more than ‘just a spell.’  The author, Marci Henna, tells the story of Juliet and Evangeline Cranbourne, two children being raised by their grandparents Walt and Ruby Cranbourne.  Walt and Ruby raise the girls with love and teach the girls the true meaning of family.  Throughout the trials they face in childhood, Juliet and Evangeline learn about family, strength, friendships, about forgiveness and healing.

Set in the late 1960’s, Marci Henna paints a picture of a small southern town equipped with a unique cast of characters.  Each character is well-developed and you won’t be able not to find each character endearing.  Personally, I fell in love with Fireside, Texas and its cast of characters.  I do hope in the future, Ms. Henna will deliver us more adventures of these characters.

I encourage you to pick up this book and take a trip to Fireside, Texas, where you will laugh, cry, and be entertained.

Joyful: A Truthful Guide to Finding Peace and Living a Fulfilling Life

Joyful:  A Truthful Guide to Finding Peace and Living a Fulfilling Life

Author:  Toks Adebiyi
Publisher:  Toks Adebiyi
Pages:  120
Audience:  Adults
Genre:  Inspirational

Joyful:  A Truthful Guide to Finding Peace and Living a Fulfilling Life is in fact told in sincerity and truth.  Toks Adebiyi, the author, writes of his experiences growing up and his observances around him.  He is also very candid about his evolution from a young man wanting to be successful to the journey he is on today, and all of the lessons he learned along the way.  

Mr. Adebiyi’s realization of not feeling fulfilled and his determination to not only discover his fulfillment but also his quest to aid others in discovering their own fulfilling callings.
I truly enjoyed Mr. Adebiyi’s story because it was so honest and sincere.  We all have found ourselves at a crossroads and need to journey forth in discovering what God has for us.

This book is an enjoyable book of one individual’s inspirational and faithful journey.  If you’re in need of some inspiration give this book a read.



Happy Reading!
