A sweet wrap up to a fabulous trilogy! This story takes us along with Collin, his wife Katherine (white has the gift of sight and knowing what is to come in the future) and his twin Ian to England, the colonies in America, and Nova Scotia. I love all the Scottish history we get in these stories.
I really took a liking to Ian in this one! There were certain situations that they so had to endure but did it really well.

Once again, Katherine Center delivers a book that is funny and heart-warming. I loved the characters and the lessons they show us of forgiveness and moving on. The first chapter had me instantly hooked! Cassie shocked me in that first chapter and I knew I had to get down to the mystery of what happened to her to make her act out like that. I also loved each and every one of the male firefighters she worked with (even the ones that I had to forgive)

The things that Jess had to go through are terrible considering how things eventually turn out. Charles was just an evil and manipulative guy and I hated what he put Jess through. A fast and un-putdownable read!

A gorgeous blend of historical fiction, fantasy and magic of Paris. A bit reminiscent of Les Mis as we get a little of the French Revolution in the book. I loved the subtle romance.

A girl is forced to be the caretaker of her younger brother because of family circumstances. We see her life as a girl in 1919 and a mother of two in 1955. I liked both stories in both times. I liked how they interspersed the Hansel and Gretel story into this one.

A beautiful story in the past and present that wants to give us a girl, not really seen, seen. To give her a rightful place as an artist as she should have been all along.... Had she not been a slave. I loved Josephine's story. Her dedication to her "missus" and the resilience in her nature.
I also loved Lina's dedication to bringing Josephine's story to light in the present.
Well written for a wonderful debut!

Story of 3 sisters and a brother, one sister who's in jail, one who is taking care of the daughters of the sister in prison, and one with an eating disorder and 15 year marriage falling apart. The brother is a small side character with not much focus on him (though we find he was a little abusive to the youngest sister)
I just couldn't connect with any of the characters, even with all the tough things they were going through. Nai Nai (mother in law of the sister taking care of the daughters) was my favorite and she was hardly in there.

Mallory goes back home to her parents vineyard and tries to correct mistakes of her past. Her and her best friend, (since second grade) Kelly, had a falling out 10 years ago and Mallory wants to make it right. An old flame, Sam, arrives and Mallory needs to figure out if she still feels the same for him as she did 10 years ago.
I'm a little upset with the end.... There are some things still left up in the air and I hope there might be a second book to continues the story. But the writing is easy to breeze through.

12 stories of girls daring to do things outside their norm to help them find themselves, defy expectations and showing others what they believe is the best for themselves. Showing faith and courage in their lives. I loved the diversity of the characters in each story.
