She is taken far away to an old, small, dirty cabin and locked in. When she gets a new ...

very deep. centerd in the heart of god... powerful
This book is all about the trust in God, how he brings Nicole and Anne through their hard times in live, how He is their guide and strong Hand that keeps them. Really, this book (and the rest of the series previous) are really worth reading.

Bethany House, 2008

WOW!
I loved the first two books, but this one is the best yet! Virgina has now grown up. At first I was sad that her teen-years adventures were over, but reading about her as an adult has been thrilling. So many things, including an abused child, her own children, a husband, struggles, and her grandmother, happen to her. Through the whole thing she realizes that her relationship with Christ is not ...

Bristol Park Books, 1995

This book is wonderful!
This book really brings to life what living in Northern Canada was about in the early 1900's. I found myself thinking what it would be like in Elizabeth's shoes. She endured such hardships just to be with the man she loved. What a great lovestory! It is excellent, just like all of Jeanette Oke's other books that I have read. I can't wait until it is printed again so I can have my own ...

Full circle
I fell in love with Clark and Marty in the traggic but sweet Love Comes Softly movie, so I had to order the series, eight books in all. The plot thickened with each child born to Marty and Clark. I connected with Marty the wife, Marty the mother, and Marty the grandmother. Then when Belinda [Marty's baby girl] gave her inheritance away and went back home without one thing to assist her aging ...

All-Time-Favorite Janette Oke
I first read "Roses For Mama" when I was 13 (many years ago), and was completely "hooked" on this story from the start. I have read it over and over and keep thinking about the characters and events even though it's been about a year since my last read. This is excellent fiction for readers of all ages - particularly for teenage girls, as it provides good moral lessons that are strongly needed ...

Janette Oke

G K Hall & Co, 1992

one of my favorites
This is my second favorite Janette Oke book. (My first is A Gown of Spanish Lace.)I am currently rereading it for about the tenth time and once again falling in love with all the characters. It is about a somewhat pampered and sheltered young woman named Elizabeth who decides to accept a teaching position in western Canada where life is backward compared to her hometown. She encounters a few ...

That's Life! Communications, 2008

To be read slowly...and SAVORED!
Renown writer Janette Oke, author of Hallmark Channel's "Love Comes Softly" series, writes in the foreword to this book that "stories connect hearts." I felt that repeatedly as I read this book! HOT APPLE CIDER is a journey across not only the landscapes of Canada (and beyond), but also the varying landscapes of life. It's a from-the-heart collection from some of Canada's finest writers. I was ...

New Kid in Town a review by Andraya
"I'm lonely and homeless." If you like books that are adventurous, and a little sad, then the book New Kid in Town would be the book you're looking for by Janette Oke. Fuzzle was a skunk that was homeless and really lonely. Fuzzle looks for a home in a big forest. He tried to find a friend, but no one wanted to be his friend. One event that happened in the story was when Fuzzle was so ...

Janette Oke is the greatest
This little book is so sweet. I am a grandmother and I love to do things like hand down items to my children and grandchildren. I have never had pearls, but, it is a must for all age readers as all of Janette Oke's books. They are so clean but still have a little bit of romance in them. I own almost all her books and would love to have them all...I bought the Meeting Place not relizing ...

Janette Oke is the best author ever!
My 7 year old son says about this series: "I love Mrs. Oke's Aminal Friends books. The animals in there are so cute. I just love to look at the pictures." I was so surprised one day when he told me "Janette Oke is the best author ever!" He has been reading the books by himself from his teacher's classroom. I am thrilled by his enthusiasm to finish all of the books!

Bethany House Publishers, 1985

The most captivating series I have ever read!
Once I started reading the books in this series I was captured. The trials and triumps of Elizabeth and Wynn Delaney are so down to earth and real that I actually felt that I was Elizabeth. I could feel the pain of being childless right along with her. These stories constantly reminded me of Gods love and guidence in all situations of Life. I have read all the books in this series twice ...

The Matchmakers
This is a wonderful book. It is sweet and funny, especially the last chapter. You will find youself smiling over it. Two children try to get their elderly parents together. In the end, the results are delightful, though much different than they imagined. All in all, it is a wonderful book.
