Review:

Based on a true story and the history of the Fifty-Eighth Illinois, the book 'The Faithful Dog' highlights the beautiful bond and the faithfulness of a dog towards his master. 

Bärchen lives with Elizabeth, Louis and their little daughter Louisa. When Louis Pfeif left home for training, the family dog Bärchen followed him with the thinking that he would protect his master for the time Louis was away from home. 

During the training, Bärchen showed various skills and tactics which made Louis sure that he would do great on the battlefield too. Second Lieutenant Pfeif was attached to the Fifty-Eighth Illinois regiment. On the battlefield, Bärchen's eyes, ears, nose everything stayed alert. He did the best he could do to protect his master. 

The way the story ends is different from my expectations but I loved the faithfulness of Bärchen. While reading this story, I became fond of this dog. The world building is impressive and I appreciate the way the plot is written. One couldn't keep this book aside without knowing what will happen at the end. It's one of the best historical fiction that I have read this year.

Growing through the Storm

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: Growing through the Storm Author: Sheila Malsam Rating: 5/5 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: "Growing through the Storm" is one of the best books that I have read this year. This book teaches us to not give up too soon on God and our faith. It teaches us to hang tightly to God. This book made me believe that if things aren't happening our way in our life then they will happen in God's way when the time is right.  This book made me realize how stupid I was to not believe firmly in God. God is the answer to all our problems. He gives challenges and problems to us so that they can shape us and make us stronger. I appreciate Sheila's parents for the support they provided to her daughter. The support and love from loved ones is very important in troubled times. Even after two troubled marriages, her parents and children didn't give up on her. Loved ones should support their family members in times of need.  Sheila's sister made her realize how she wasn'

  Book Review: Twin Flames Author: J. L. Berkowitz Rating: 5/5 Review: As you start reading this book, you might wonder what Twin Flames is. Well, you have to read this book till the last page to get that answer and it will be worth every second of yours. The author Berkowitz has written an interesting fantasy world. The writing of the author is descriptive and the story is well paced.  The story picked pace when Aree went on a mission that would help a lot in her transformation. She would encounter great challenges and there are many lessons for her on the journey. Her mate Michael couldn't go with her on the mission. Would this mission create the distance between two lovers? Are Aree and Michael the Twin Flames of each other?  Aree, Michael, Sassy, Raphael, Gabriel all are interesting characters. The story took an interesting turn with Sassy and I didn't have any idea that she would play such an important role. The twists and turns would keep you going till the last page. I w

Angel Finally Found his Wings

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 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
