Wonderful and enlightening love story. Every Friday for all the years they were together, Gabe writes a postcard to Pearl "Huck". The beginning of the book has a different angle and makes you wonder what does this have to do with a love story. Then when Gabe and Huck meet they don't want to be separated and the story is wonderful. This is true love for each other and their faith. I couldn't put this book down once I started because it makes you feel good. It is set back in the twentieth century and the author does great details to make you feel that you are back in that time.
I would recommend this to all my friends, it is a great summer read. This is a wonderful beach day read. It makes you think and I even want to start sending my husband a postcard every Friday. Just encouraging and happy book.

Fifteen Minutes ~ Karen Kingsbury
LOVE THIS STORY!! Karen does it again!!! This is the story of Zach Dylan who becomes a contestant of a reality singing show (think American Idol). Zach wants to have GOD shine and save his families farm, that is his purpose for winning the show. He leaves behind the love of his life Reese, and goes to the audition. Reese is concerned that he will change and their lives will never be the same again. As the story goes, Zach becomes the top contestant and has many trials and tribulations of the TV world vs. his faith. The story has many characters and lots of twist and turns. It is a page turner right to the very end and just as Karen always does, it ends the way you don't expect it to.
I LOVED this book and would recommend it to everyone. It is a great wholesome story of faith and does make you think of how you look at your own world. If you like reality shows, especially American Idol or The Voice you will really love this book. I encourage everyone to read this.
Karen ~ if you read this~ continue this story! I want more of these characters, all of them.

Wrestling with the Devil ~ Lex Luger
This is the very basic story of how the wrestling champ Lex Luger became known to the wrestling world. Lex tells of his high school years, his goal of becoming a football star and then life taking a turn and he gets involved with wrestling. This is a short book and I found it to be very uneventful, quite boring for my reading. But I did force myself to read it to the end and managed to read it all.
The story is a Christian book, however the book does not mention GOD or faith until page 129 then it is only mentioned in one line, last paragraph of the chapter that his friend is a Christian. Then the next time GOD or faith is mentioned is at the very end on page 169 about how he reads from the Gideon Bible. The book is a total of 217 pages. I was wish faith had been made through the whole book, I think if the structure of the story being told, mixed with his faith and belief vs. his past would have made a much better story line.
I would not recommend this for my friends to read, as I had a very hard time getting through it.

A Vow for Always, Book 6 ~ Wanda E. Brunstetter
This is book 6 of the Discovery Series. In this short book, it concludes where book 5 left off as a cliff hanger, Meredith has begun to start courting Joshua and becoming part of his life. Joshua start to remember things from his past and with the help of his new friends he finds his way back home. With a happy ending the book does conclude with you just hanging again. I wish the ending had more of a closure to the story. But as Wanda is known for series, I am sure she did this as a plan to be able to write another to go with this whole discovery series.
I liked this book, but I really don't enjoy the small book series. I would have enjoyed the series being all in one book. I would recommend this book.
