Product Description:

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simplicity of the finest kind
Marlene Queens returns to Parness Springs, Missouri, to help wrap up her elderly Aunt Beth's affairs and becomes involved in the various disputes and problems of her kin. Since Marlene has a lot of family intrigue, this carries the novel much farther than one might expect. In fact, the book itself is much better than one might expect, given the lightweight and cliched fluff that fills many inspirational romances (yes, even the spiritually minded sometimes turn to mush when love is in the air).

I enjoyed this book so much. It was very inspirational and very different. Her writing is so vivid and truly gets you involved in the story.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - enjoyable read, thought-provoking look at forgiveness
Lori Copeland's "Simple Gifts" is just that - a wonderful gift of a novel about a woman who never believed she could come home again, her overbearing daughter, and the man she left behind. When Marlene returns home to sell her deceased Aunt's house, she learns a valuable lesson about giving and receiving forgiveness. This book is beautifully written and full of humor. There are also action sequences that keep you on the edge of your seat, and a romance woven throughout that will captivate you. Bravo, ... Read More
