** spoiler alert ** The Rape of Innocence is a hard book, written from a upfront and in-your-face POV. It lays out a lifestyle that most of society are happy to forget exists. Mrs. Hayes, minister and activist, put her very career on the line by writing in this style, yet somehow it worked well for the composition of the book. The book begins with Lacresha's struggles as a child without a parent and ends with her victory over sexual assault by a traveling minister. In the in-between, she marries three times, nearly kills her first husband, commits adultery, turns to Christ and away again, and all that before finally coming to terms with who she was created to be. I have to say, while I fully support this book and the message, it was so graphic that you have to prepare yourself before reading. I didn't do that because I had no idea what I would be in for. If you try to jump right into this book like a novel, the descriptive language will disturb you emotionally. In fact, this is the most haunting book I've ever read.

The chill in the air signifies that winter isn't far away and the holiday season is almost upon us. If the northernly breezes don't get you in the Christmas mood, A Lancaster County Christmas will. In the tradition of fine Christmas novels everywhere A Lancaster County Christmas is uplifting and celebrates the true spirit of Christmas. Strangers, an Amish family and a young "English" couple, who have nothing in common but heartache come together during a snowstorm just days before Christmas and learn that God's plans may differ from their own. If you're looking for the perfect read to cozy up under the covers with A Lancaster County Christmas is it. In the way that only Suzanne Woods Fisher can you will escape to the snow-covered countryside with the Riehls and the Fitzpatrick's and cry, discover, and rejoice along with them. Each person's own desires, Mattie's to give her husband another child and Jamie to "fix" her marriage are portrayed realistically and are accompanied with more emotion in 200 pages than in most epic length novels. This is a stand alone novel but if you have read Fisher's previous series, Lancaster County Secrets you will enjoy seeing some familiar faces. Even if you're not a fan of holiday stories you may want to give this book a chance. I'm not usually one to pick up Christmas books but I really enjoyed this. The book had a more serious tone than most Christmas stories I've read but that's why I liked it so much. Readers of Amish fiction will enjoy this quick read and peek at an Amish Christmas. *I received my complimentary copy from the publisher in exchange for posting my review for the tour.*
