A very cute read!

This book was so sweet! As with a lot of novella's it has that rushed feeling because it is so short, but even though this one kinda of had that feeling it was still a great read! And again, it was so sweet. Y'all the spiritual content was so good! Kat's struggle to keep God first in her life, with her busy schedule really spoke to me. It's something I struggle with as well, and to see her go through it, and to read her prayers, it was really encouraging. And isn't the cover so cute?? I loved seeing this aspect of baseball as well. I didn't know much about the women's baseball teams and how they got started and this book was so informative without boring you with all the history. She weaved a wonderful story filled with romance, history, and that feeling that leaves you with a happy sigh at the end of the book. The characters felt real, and when Kate was tensed up during a game I found myself tensed as well, waiting to see what would happen! Definitely a cute little story that I will re read! And isn't the cover so cute?? I was sent this book from Celebrate Lit for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

A sweet baseball romance

A Promise Forged by Cara Putman is the third book in the Buckeye Promises series formerly known as the Ohio Brides series. Kat Miller is chosen to play for the All-American Girls Professional Softball League. A league started by Mr. Wrigley to try to bring in some money since a lot of the male players had been called to join the war. Kat struggles with fitting in with the other jealous players, the long road trips and constant practices. Then there’s the reporter who wants to make a name for himself at all costs. While Kat struggles to keep her faith from faltering can she also help Jack to see his need for a renewal of his faith. This story wasn’t so much about a war-time trial baseball league as it was the story of a young girl turning into a woman. Learning to handle the hard life-lessons thrown at her along with learning to believe in herself. You felt all these struggles right along with Kat. Who hasn’t struggled with keeping God first when all around you life keeps galloping along. Mix in the thrill of getting to play America’s favorite pastime and you have the makings of a truly intriguing story. I received this book from the Celebrate Lit in exchange for my honest review.
