A heart of wisdom



 How do you get a heart of wisdom so as to know how best to live? The psalmist answers:

Thou dost sweep men away; they are like a dream, like grass which is renewed in the morning: in the morning it flourishes and withers. So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:5, 6, 12)
Numbering your days simply means remembering that your life is short and your dying will be soon. Great wisdom—great, life-revolutionizing wisdom—comes from periodically pondering these things.
(John Piper -I Have Kept The Faith)

Wishing you a very Happy and Blessed New Year!

Carolina Breeze




Mia Emerson is a Hollywood star caught in the middle of a scandal. As she tries to find a safe place to weather out the storm, she finds herself at the Bluebell Inn. A place that holds family history but should have been her honeymoon hideaway. Broken hearted, she meets handsome innkeeper, Levi Bennett, who takes her under his wing.

As Mia starts reading her grandmothers journal, she discovers a hidden treasure. One that could be worth a fortune, helping the Bennetts dig out from financial worries. But finding Carolina Breeze proves to be harder than they thought.

This was such a delightful story. The budding romance between Mia and Levi is fraught with complexity at the differences in their lives. Levi's sisters are a large part of the story line, and they play well into the plot.

A sweet romance, following in the foot steps of Ms. Hunters first book, the story has a good flow and keeps your interest.

 I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
