The Gift by Shelley Shepard Gray - {Litfuse Blog Tour}

Gray pin1


I was excited to review another Amish book! I had read books by Shelley Shepard Gray before. This was was a fun read. There's a little love story and a gentle mystery going on. The story starts with Susana Schwartz hearing gun shots that cause her buggy to overturn, she is rescued by a single Amish guy (Neil Vance) with amazing eyes (of course). The story is full of miscommunication, jealousy, and of course Amish Christmas traditions.

 Other accidents happen; Susana's sister falls through the ice on what used to be a perfectly safe bridge, a barn burn down and then there is a disappearance on Christmas Eve. 

 Neil Vance has been heartbroken ever since his parents lost their family farm. He can't help feeling resentful; until he meets Susanna that is! He thinks the accidents are that - accidents.

 Will they be able to solve the mystery behind the accidents or will something more serious happen first!

 This is a fun read. I have read it and then passed it on to Boo. I love that these books don't have anything in that I need to worry about! Great safe read for all the family.

Differences in Manners

Have you ever traveled to another country and been surprised by what is or isn't polite. One thing that has surprised me is language. There are a few words in the UK that are considered not polite that are common in the US and the other way around. I remember when my family had just come back from the US to live in England again. My sister said something and an older lady was offended and went to tell my mom. My mom then obviously sat us down and had a conversation about how different things are acceptable in different countries. Obviously, my sister didn't use that word again...and I'm not even going to tell you what it was ☺ The article  13 examples of Good and Bad manners around the world  lists some examples that you may not have heard of; Is belching (burping) always considered rude? Could it be considered rude to shake someone's hand? What about making the peace sign...or the same sign the opposite way round? Check out the article to find the answers to those ques...
