Steel Walls and Dirt Drops

by Black, Alan

  LillieBeth is a 12 year old girl, right on the cusp of womanhood. She still loves playing in the woods and giggling with her girlfriends, but during the span of the book she is forced to grow up and take on more responsibility, including guarding a friend's dark secret and facing down men who would harm her family. She spends months befriending a difficult, angry neighbor, and starts to find her place as a young woman in her community. I won't spoil the ending for those who are considering buying the book, but I will say I'm looking forward to the next book in the series so I can find out what happens next.

  THE GRANITE HEART (BOOK TWO OF AN OZARK MOUNTAIN SERIES)

  I bought this yesterday!

  Again, this book, the second in the series of Ozark Mountains, is so refreshing. I was sad that it ended. I look forward to the "next" book. (It's coming soon!)

  I shared with my sister, that Alan has expertly woven God in the storyline. She has now bought "The Friendship Stones" (See my review on this book) in the Kindle version at Amazon. The fact that a mother and son could team up together and give us high quality AND fun reading, it's just absolutely wonderful. The glossary at the end of the book is great learning. Made me laugh at how many I knew!
