Yes, I know it’s Thursday. But there’s something happening that I just had to share with you. My friend and crit partner, Betty Thomason Owens has released the sequel to Annabelle’s Ruth.
I’ve followed Annabelle’s and Tom’s story through the first two books in the Kinsman Redeemer Series, and I’m excited to finally read how it all works out. Psst! You won’t be disappointed. I love these two characters!
In my Sutter’s Landing book review, I mentioned how one character’s prayer made such an impact on me that I’ll never forget that scene. That character was Tom!
Ready to learn more? Keep reading!

Great review, Gail. I read about Betty’s release on another blog, but I didn’t know you were critique partners. Congratulations to Betty!
Thanks for visiting, Jill!
Awesome review! 💕
By any chance are you going to the ACFW conference in San Antonio? I signed up with a lady named Gail but can’t remember her last name 😁.
Jessy, I wish I could be there! I know several Gails. Not sure who it could be. Enjoy the conference! Thanks for reading. 💕
I got the whole name wrong! It’s Gayle Roper. Thanks I’m so excited for this opportunity to network.
