A Daring Sacrifice by Judy Hedlund As a mother of four I very rarely run across a book that is so good I can read…
What a sweet story! I’ve loved country music since I was a little girl (at least until recently) and this book struck a cord with me. Trevor, the struggling singer puts aside his career and comes to town to help the family of his recently killed drummer. Aww, what a sweetheart! But Trevor is struggling with his new faith and his reasons for coming to their small town.
This book is so well written I have to give it 4 stars. The story is sweet and interesting and kept my attention. Zane and Lila have been best friends throughout their childhood and adolescence, but when her Amish family expect her to marry within their faith, Zane responds to the uncertainty by joining the army. The story is full of honest emotion and vivid details of both Amish and Army life. I felt like I was really there with them.
My kids (ages 20 months to 10 years) LOVED this book. The older kids loved the bald eagle and the patriotic poetry while to younger ones liked all the cute animals. The story is all about summer fun surrounding Independence Day, our American heritage, and our beloved patriotic traditions. We would recommend this for ages 10 and under.
Catherine Hickem outlines how to reach the end of your parenting journey without regrets (or too many). The book was well done but the principles mentioned either weren’t deep or meaningful enough for me to put into practice. This is more of a “why” parenting book than a “here’s how you do it” which would help me a lot more.

His big plans and fund raising are brought to an abrupt halt by this ruling.
