The Englisch Daughter
by Cindy Woodsmall and Erin Woodsmall
Snuggled under her great-grandmother’s quilt, Jemima woke to the sound of slow, easy movement in the room.
I’ve really enjoyed the novels Cindy Woodsmall pens with her daughter-in-law, Erin. They are so well written and engaging; I highly recommend them all. The Englisch Daughter sounds like it is going to be another excellent story. I can’t wait to escape into this one!

I loved the baby on this cover too. It did make me think of my 8-year old when she was little. They grow up so fast!
