About the Book
Author: Lisa M. Prysock
Genre: Historical Christian Romance
Release date: March 14, 2023
Can summer love survive amid mystery and mayhem?
When Abigail Greenwood and her cousins settle in for their annual summer retreat at the stunning and impressive Sagamore Resort in the Adirondacks, all she wants is to spend as much time as possible plunking out stories on her typewriter. But when her cousins insist she join them in the tradition of choosing a beau to adore from a distance during their stay, she reluctantly plays along, setting her sights on a mysteriously quiet and aloof guest. What started as harmless fun soon changes as Abby finds herself captivated by debonair—and handsome—Jackson Gable. Who is he, and why does his arrogant amused smile exasperate her so much?
When a series of events causing mayhem and mischief begin to occur at Sagamore, journalist Jackson Gable is determined to get to the bottom of it, since his father is an investor of the resort. Jack has a nose for mysteries, but he may have to use his recently earned law degree and some of his posh family connections to sleuth out the culprit. Are the events connected? Why are they happening? And why can’t he get the beautiful Abby off his mind?

Behind the scenes at A Summer at Sagamore
When a dear writing friend approached me about writing a contribution for Romance at the Gilded Age Resorts, my heart leapt. The Gilded Age is my favorite time to write. Ask me to write anything from 1870 to 1910, and I’m hooked. I love the way traditions are colliding with progress and changing the world in this era.
An exciting time for women, I knew the heroine, Abigail, would be a writer, enthralled with her new, clunky, heavy manual typewriter. Independent, set to inherit her grandmother’s wealth, she would not be looking for romance. I wanted Abby’s grandmother, cousin, and sister to give us plenty of humor and fun along the way. Meanwhile, Abby, would portray a young woman on the brink of writing about her faith, inspired by a few pioneer writers and a previous experience to join the endeavor to pave the way for others to do the same.
Along comes our hero, Jackson. Jack has this Clark Gable kind of vibe, only younger, more handsome. He has strong faith, but it’s quiet, stifled by his position in society. Abby brings out the best in him. I loved watching their romance blossom and their trust in God grow amid the mystery of all the happenings at the Sagamore. More themes came out of the book than I expected. I can’t wait to share it with you.

I have been on the lookout for something like this journal for a long time! Here is a journal that you can write a Bible Verse and reflect and pray on what you have just read. I know there are other journals out there but this one is simple and to the point which is great for a busy mama like me! I’m not saying we need to rush through our time with God but it’s nice to not have all the “extras” when you just want to focus on the one thing and for me it’s reflection on what I just read and making sure it stays in my mind and heart throughout the week!
I also really like that this has these affirmation cards with Bible verses. They are perfect to hand around on the fridge, bathroom mirror or office as a reminder not only for yourself but others in your household.
This would make a perfect gift… (hint, hint Mother’s Day is coming…) use this link ➡️ https://www.warnerpress.org/you-are-loved and code BLOG30 to save 30% off your purchase!
Thank you @warnerpress for sending the items for review! I was not required to post a positive review. All views are my own!
Looking for a new Bible for your 4-8 year olds? Transitioning from a picture Bible to a more traditional one is hard but a necessary step as kiddos grow. Right now that is exactly what we are doing and while we still will use our picture Bible for my beginning reader they each received one of these for Easter to make the transition.
Here are the features:
o Designed for kids ages 4-8
o Early readers can read the full Bible in a single column format in a very readable font. Chapter and verse numbers have been removed to provide a distraction-free reading experience.
o With nearly every page, children will encounter over 750 full-color illustrations and kid-friendly maps that bring the Bible to life for them.
o The New International Reader’s Version (NIrV) text, written at a third-grade reading level, make it possible for kids to read the Bible on their own.
o The NIrV is based on the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV), today’s world’s most widely read Bible translation.
o Whenever possible the NIrV uses the text of the NIV but where necessary uses shorter sentences and words easier to understand. Throughout the translation, each verse has been meticulously evaluated in light of the meaning of the original languages in which the Bible was written.
The like that it has a few illustrations to help them with the stories and while they can’t read the whole thing on their one yet it is still easy to understand when I read it to them. It will be a good Bible for them to grow with.

About the Book
When empty nester Mallory Farrell inherits her grandmother's run-down tourist shop in Seaport, Oregon, it seems the only sensible thing to do is to sell it. But when her former secret crush, Grayson Matthews, wants to buy the property in order to complete his plans to redevelop the funky town's business district into a soulless, cookie-cutter outdoor mall, Mallory digs in her heels and decides to renovate the property herself.
With a lot of hard work and a little bit of help, Mallory makes incredible progress turning the store into an eclectic home decor shop called Romancing the Home--all while trying to ignore the depressing and decrepit apartment she's living in on the second floor. When the shop catches the eye of a popular renovation TV show producer, Mallory is thrilled--until it becomes clear that her apartment is to be part of the segment as well.
She's tempted to abandon her dreams and the town under a cloud of shame. But perhaps there's more to Grayson than meets the eye. Can he swallow his pride, change his plans, and help Mallory romance her own home--and possibly her life?
