Donita K. Paul is a wonderful storyteller. When a reader starts one of her books, he or she will not want to put it down. Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball is no exception.
The book is about two people who have worked together for years but never really noticed each other. They both receive tickets to the annual Christmas Ball and their adventure starts there. It is filled with humor, romance, and suspense.
I love how Donita incorporated God's love into this story. As the characters are striving to get to know each other, they also learn about God's love on a deeper level. In the words of one of the best characters, "No matter who your earthly family is or how they failed you, your heavenly Father will never deny you nor forsake you." (211).
I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. I received this book for free from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing for this review.

Book Review: A Sound Among the Trees by Susan Meissner
Susan Meissner weaves an enthralling tale of love and ghosts in A Sound Among the Trees. Marielle, a woman from Arizona, marries Carson, a widower from Virginia and moves into his home. Soon after moving into Holly Oak, Marielle realizes it is full of ghosts from the past. A past filled with violence and lost, but a past that the inhabitants of the house will not give up.
A Sound Among the Trees is a beautifully written story about how important it is to let the past remain in the past. As the women of Holly Oak discover this important truth, we, the readers, are taught by their struggles and challenges.
While A Sound Among the Trees does capture the imagination, it is somewhat slow to begin with. The first few chapters feel as thought the reader is simple being dragged along the new life of Marielle. But as the plot begins to pick up the reader will not want to put the book down.
A Sound Among the Trees is a great read for those interested in Civil War romance or ghost stories. You can read the first chapter at scribd.com. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing for this review.
