Rally Round the Flag by Jane Orcutt:

Source: Libby App

Publication Date: September 1st, 2011

Genre: Christian Fiction/Small Town Series

Synopsis:

A group of veterans checks into the inn and teach the sisters about loyalty and sacrifice. A perfect fall read just in time for Veteran's Day. It's time to bring out the old patriotic spirit when three lively World War II vets check in at Grace Chapel Inn and march in the annual Veterans Day parade. However, another guest, Gulf War veteran Nathan Delhomme, suffers from guilt for surviving the war when his friend didn't make it. Can Alice help this troubled young man march proudly in memory of his friend? And will the Franklin High Patriots be victorious in the Thanksgiving Day football game this year? The patriotism abounds as the citizens of Acorn Hill rally round the flag!

My Review:

I'm wholeheartedly enjoying working my way through this wonderful, sweet small town series that focuses around three sisters who have turned their beloved Victorian family home into a well loved bed and breakfast.

Rally Round the Flag is almost split into two separate stories. The first finds the sisters entertaining a house full of veterans who are are in town for their annual meet up, and to take in many of Acorn Hill's Veteran's Day festivities. A story full of heart, faith and the importance of friendship touches the heart of each of the sisters.

The second part of the book focuses around the town's big homecoming football game, the Thanksgiving feast at Grace Chapel Inn, and a lovely friend of the sisters who has developed some health issues and is struggling with how to proceed.

All in all, this was a touching story that brought a big smile to my face and highlighted the importance of faith, family and friendship as we all navigate the bumpy road that is life. I love how cozy this entire series is, and they're the perfect books to pick up on a blustery, fall day.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I'd highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a heartwarming Christian fiction series that doesn't overly focus around romance.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...
