I love Jesus, my husband, and my daughter. I love reading and reviewing Christian and Clean fiction. And, I am a high school English teacher trying to get kids to fall in love with reading every day!

  3. ‘”Unmarried men?”‘ she asked at last, hope making her tongue loose. Suri’s smile held a hint of triumph, but then she quickly grew thoughtful. She gave a brief nod. “Some of the younger ones were unwed, boys about Rachel’s age. Too young for her. She choked on a bitter sigh.”
    –From Rachel by Jill Eileen Smith
