HOME TO HOLLY SPRINGS-the first of the Father Tim Novels by Jan Karon

Can you go home again?  Some say no and some say yes.  For Father Tim he has not been home to Holly Springs in almost 40 years.  He probably would not be there now except for an unsigned note asking him to come.  He decided to go and see if he could find who wrote the note.  The story jumps from the present to his memories and I found that confusing at times.

Will he find out who wrote the note?  Will the stores and landmarks of his childhood still be there?  What about his childhood friends, his home?

TEXAS WILDFLOWER by Susan Wiggs

I am not big on historical novels.  This is set in old times in Texas.  Shiloh wants to be a detective like her father and goes off on her first job to locate and return Justin.  Little did she know that not only would she locate him that she would end up married to him.  Of course that is to keep him from being forced to marry another only to keep him from testifying on her father.

Will they learn to love each other?  Can they keep Texas free from foreign rule?  It took a bit for me to get into this book, but enjoyed it once I did.
