  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: The Shot Not Heard Around the World  Author: Charlie Damitz  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: The main character of the story is Jeremy. He joined Minutemen to defend against the Redcoats invasion in their area. When Jeremy saw a British soldier named Roger and was expected to shoot the soldier, he couldn't fire at him. Roger also didn't shoot at Jeremy.  Because of their sensitive hearts that couldn't shoot others, Roger and Jeremy joined Doc Thorndike as a surgical assistant. By healing many people during the war, Jeremy played an important role. He has also grown in his personal life.  I loved Jeremy's values and was inspired by him.

The story is heart touching and would stay in my mind for a long time. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Rating: 5/5

I recently came across a new author, Kathleen Welton, whose storytelling captivated me. Her book, "The Magic Sea Turtle," is a delightful tale I highly recommend for both children and adults. It's a story that encourages adults to hold onto their dreams. The protagonist, Myrtle, is a determined young girl who finds herself in the sea, a completely unfamiliar environment. There, she is warmly greeted by various sea creatures and befriends a turtle named Max, who profoundly impacts her life.

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: Angel Finally Found his Wings  Author: Ronald Hunter  Rating: 5/5 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: Charlie became the self-appointed guardian of the author. Everyone believed that he was taking good care of him. However, Ronnie was on the street from eight or nine in the morning until ten at night. Ronnie was doing all this for his mother.  To keep his mother out of the hospital, he was working for Charlie. Ronnie was afraid to upset him. He was doing business even though he felt guilty initially for doing it. Charlie has taught Ronnie to never leave a block without making a deal. Charlie kept him in business for a long time. Even though Ronnie was looking for an escape, he was stuck. I loved the ending of this story. This book has increased my faith in God and his grace. This story teaches us not to lose hope in difficult times as someone out there is having a more difficult life than us.  I am thankful to the author for sharing his story with everyone. A book that is worth readi
