Gabhart Reviews “ "Gabhart gives readers a fantastic gift of another visit to Rosey Corner and the Merritt sisters, who are more like a real family than a family in a book.

RT Book Reviews “ Praise for Angel Sister "This book will leave you changed as it uncovers family secrets and draws you into the days following the First World War and the Great Depression. It will astound you how the characters persevere while making difficult decisions amidst heartache and their determination to make it through the toughest of hard times."--RT Book Reviews "Angel Sister paints an inspirational portrait of forgiveness and grace in the midst of trial and hardship. . . . It reveals how forgiveness brings freedom, not so much for the one forgiven as for the one doing the forgiving. Two major strengths to Ann Gabhart's writing include her deeply textured characters and rich atmosphere. She moves the plot forward by weaving the past with the present. . . . There are many levels to this deftly written novel."--Crosswalk.com Praise for Small Town Girl "The characters of Ann Gabhart's Small Town Girl pulled me into their lives and did not let me go. This love story, painted upon the canvas of a small Kentucky town struggling with WWII, is one of the most riveting historical romances I've ever read.
-Serena B. Miller, winner of the 2012 RITA award for Inspirational Romance "Gabhart writes wonderful, fast-paced stories with faith-driven, hardworking protagonists who find time for love amidst mistakes, misunderstandings, and miscommunications."--RT Book Reviews "A classic. Ann Gabhart pens an enduring tale from the very first line of Small Town Girl. Rosey Corner is a world you won't want to leave, rife with spiritual truths, rich romance, and memorable characters that linger long after!"--Laura Frantz, author of The Colonel's Lady and Love's Reckoning
I have 2 sisters, and this book reminded me of fond memories. I cried at times, and at other times I completely understood the sibling dynamic. Of course we all have those funny moments, and I laughed along with them. My favorite part of the book was that each sister was strong and followed her own path. However together as a family they are much stronger. Especially during a time period when there was so much going on. After War World II many soldiers were injured, the lives of their families were never the same. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
