This book is a part of the Mothers and Daughters collection by Angela Christina Archer. The story is a beautiful collaboration of emotions as you get to know Marlena and Betty and how their worlds intertwine. This book is a reflection of a reality that many young women faced in the 1950’s. My heart went on a roller coaster ride through happiness and heartbreak. Every character in the book has a backstory and they are painted in so much detail that you are fully entangled in their world. You feel what they feel and see through their eyes. Angela Christina Archer has quickly become a favorite author of mine and I can not wait to explore more of her books!

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the first one. I can’t wait to see what the third book brings. This is a well written story about a young mother having to not only give up her love but also her child. Marlena was adopted and once she finds out she is on a quest to find the truth behind her adoption. Will she find her biological parents and what will happen if she does? This is a great story that I can relate to as I adopted my daughter and my brother is adopted as well and his search for his family. The characters were great and connectable. They were written with a lot of heart and soul. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride in parts. I enjoyed watching the growth with all of the characters and what they brought to the story. This is most certainly worth the pick up and I highly recommend it.

Written In the Stars: a heart-warming and gripping story about adoption and finding birth parents is the second book in the Mothers and Daughters Collection by Angela Christina Archer. It is, as the title suggests, a touching story about adoption, family, belonging, and finding birth parents.
As expected from Ms. Archer, the story was well-written, moving, and compelling. It didn’t take long before I was fully invested in the story- and before I knew it I had finished.
Wonderful women’s fiction!

Thank you, Angela Christina Archer!

Written in the Stars (Mothers and Daughters Collection) by Angela Christina Archer
Genre – Women’s Fiction, Literary Fiction, Family Saga
Page Count – 306 pages

In 1950, parents sent their single unwed daughters to live in houses of shame as some called it. Forced to give up their babies in closed adoptions, these women had to go on with their lives, some living for decades without knowing what happened to their sons and daughters.
When seventeen-year-old Betty Hamilton is dropped off at Dartmouth Home for Wayward Girls, she’s left with only two things—a suitcase full of her belongings and the baby in her belly. After her letters to Charlie, the love of her life, go unanswered, Betty finds comfort in one friend and the prayers she can escape the home with her child. Her hope is dashed, however, when after her baby is born, it’s given to a couple in a closed adoption, and the home casts her back out on the streets alone. With nowhere to go but back to her parents house, she tries to make a new life while trying to forget the baby she lost and the man she loves but can’t find.
Being adopted wasn’t ever something that crossed Marlena’s mind. Her parents were her parents. But after her father becomes ill, and she discovers she can’t help him; they finally tell her the truth—they adopted her just hours after she was born from an unknown young woman from the Dartmouth Home for Wayward Girls. Now desperate for answers and on a quest to find her paternal parents, Marlena begins to uncover the secrets behind her real parents love, her birth, and what happened to both of them after her adoptive parents took her home. Will she ever meet her biological parents? Or will she be too late to find them before something happens to them?

Angela lives on a ranch in Oklahoma with her husband, two daughters, and many farm animals. She was born and raised in Nevada, and grew up riding and showing horses. While she doesn’t show anymore, she still loves to trail ride.

 

From a young age, she always wanted to write a novel. However, every time the desire flickered, she shoved the thought from her mind. Then one day, in 2009, she awoke with the determination to follow her dream.

Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail (Jake the Growling Dog Book 3) by Samantha Shannon-Review by Lauren West

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I ready children’s books to my daughters often, and I love when I am able to find a new series or author that they enjoy. This is my first time reading a book from “Jake the Growling Dog,” series and I can’t wait to read the others. The story was fun to read, and it taught an important lesson. Kids can be confused, fearful, curious, or unable to understand why others may be different than them. This book shows that not everyone is the same, and we have to appreciate and celebrate what makes us the same as much as what makes us different. When Jake finds a different set of paw prints on his trail he is immediately afraid and uncomfortable. He does not know what to make of foot prints or the possible creature that created them. From there its a journey with his friends to find out where the prints came from, and if they need to be worried. Its a very cute story, and I recommend that all children get a chance to enjoy this book.

Lighting The Path
Leaning into a Hopeful
Future as a Special Needs Parent
By Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon
☆☆☆☆☆
This may be one of books that help a parent with special needs children, not feel so lost and even answer some unasked questions. Full length and loaded with information for parents as well as siblings. I found this book to be very informative and only wish this came out when my sister was born. I hear quite a few children are lost in the process of parents who struggle with everyday challenges. But when you add injury or illnesses to the mix. All they knew goes right out the window. This is a Must Read!

 

Thank you Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon. You have put some great information out there for all to read. As a sibling to a special needs sister, I’d say this book is spot on. It thrills me to see such a great book. This story is well written and a fast paced book. One I will be sure to have all my friends take time to read this jewel. Well Done Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon! WELL DONE.
