The Dawn of Christmas by Cindy Woodsmall

                 The dawn of Christmas is the perfect holiday book to snuggle up and read. I loved this book from the start and read it within two days. It’s a perfect book to read on those chilly days that you just want to sit down and read a good book.                                Sadie loves her mission trips to Peru and enjoys being a single Amish woman despite her parents shoving her off to different suitors.                         But when destiny forces Sadie and Levi together they begin to form a friendship. Soon there friendship begins to turn into something more that both of them are afraid of.                                                          I absolutely loved this book and will definitely read it again. It was such a short and sweet story that you will love. Overall I rate this five out of five stars.

Burning Sky by Lori Benton
At the age of fourteen Willa Obenchain was abducted by Mohawk Indians. After the effect of the Revolutionary War Willa feels compelled to return to her home in New York. But when she arrives she finds her parents missing and her childhood home in disarray. Along the way she meets a wounded Scotsman and nurses him back to health. As she works hard get her home back to the way it was, she still thinks about her other home, with the Indians.                                                                           I was really excited to receive this book to review, and right away began it. I had very high hopes for this book. The plot of the story engaged me even before I began reading it.                                                But sadly I was very disappointed and it soon lost my interest. I tried so bad to like this book and enjoy reading it, but I just didn’t.  At the beginning it was very slow to start and didn’t really grab my attention. I liked the overall plot of the story; I just wish it grabbed my attention right from the get-go. I rate this two out of five stars.
