Harvest Season is Here

I have returned from my travels abroad and am happily settling down into family life. Upon my return, the first thing I noticed is that summer is gone and Autumn is upon us!

Now I don't know about you, but for me, Autumn is the best time of the year! Everything about autumn, from the colorful leaves to the warm apple cider, makes me happy. 

The BEST thing to do on a cool autumn day is curl up on the couch with a blanket, a book, and a wonderfully warm cup of tea, while playing softly in the background is some soft, autumn music! What a wonderful feeling!

Now in case you are thinking of doing just that, here are some book recommendations!

Alone yet not Alone by Tracy Leininger 

The Leininger family settled deep within America’s new frontier in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania. A sudden Indian raid changed their lives forever. This story retells the heroic and daring escape of Barbara Leininger, and the touching reunion with her sister, Regina, after nine years. It also gives us an endearing portrayal of the love between family members and the strength of childhood memories. Father and Mother Leininger’s commitment to “hide” God’s Word in the hearts of their children yielded the fruit of an enduring faith in their Savior. Barbara and Regina held firmly to the belief that they were never alone, even in their darkest hour
