Customer Reviews

THE SECOND BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ....

This book is mostly a romance. I like it because it tells about someone's life. It is written like a diary. I like to write in my own diary a lot and was interested by her struggles. She was "promised to" this one guy, but this guy dumped her. Then she ended up falling in love with this other guy and she got engaged. This girl was 18. She taught school for a while. She had most of her life "planned out" already. Things didn't change much from her plan. The best part of the book is when she looked down from up on a hill and chose the place she wanted to put her house. This is a "...happily ever after" story.

Sequel?

This was an excellent book! I couldn't put it down! I hope that the sequel is coming out soon.

Could not put it down!

This book is spellbinding. I could not put it down and am anxious to read what else will happen in Dora's life. It is full of wholesome godly morals and decent living. I am happy my 12 year old daughter loves the series as much as I do. It is good for her to read of the biblical principles that are taught and to read of the struggles other girls go through in trying to live a righteous life. I have made the books a part of her homeschool curriculum. I give this series of books my highest recommendation for anyone and especially for homeschoolers.

This is new series by a great author.

It's great to see another series by Carrie Bender, this one based on the character Dora. This is one of Carrie's great story lines with fun and humor all ages can enjoy. Of course, the best part is the emphasis of living a life in obedience to God. Hope to see many more!
