Looking for Books?

Have you ever wondered about the Fiction Finder widget here on my blog? It's the link to a huge database of faith-based books. You can search by author, genre or content and a great way to discover new releases. And that's what I'm discussing today on the Inkwell Inspirations blog.

But when her life and others are in jeopardy, he cloaks himself with the arrogance of his upbringing and commands the attention of his title. Midwife Tabitha is past the average age of marriage, yet it’s no fault of her looks or attitude that she can’t seem to keep a man around long enough to marry.
