A TIME TO BE BORN AND A TIME TO DIE - Everlee Whitman

A Time To Be Born and A Time To Die - by Everlee Whitman - is the first book of the Time For Everything series. All books in this series follow Ecclesiastes 3:18 - A Time for Everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.
A Time To Be Born and A Time To Die is a Living River Ranch romance. It is a ranch for therapy and rehabilitation services, to cater to people with special needs.
Margaret and Matthew's grandfather's demise leaves the ranch in Margaret's hands. Can she manage the ranch and a new relationship simultaneously? 
Margaret's grandfather left her a great legacy and she was determined that, with all the love and help from her community, she would conquer her grief and continue the ranch's faith mission into the future.
Noah's late father had been Margaret's grandfather's right hand. So Noah was allowed to manage the animals, do farm maintenance and general ranch upkeep. 
Margaret, with her feisty side, was determined to ensure that her grandfather's vision for the ranch would be fulfilled. She was clearly cut out of the same cloth, with her stubborn, inquisitive streak, being smart as a whip and as capable as any man on the ranch.
Noah loved Margaret and he had her grandfather's blessing to marry her.
Friends since childhood, they had worked together on the ranch. Margaret needed time to realize Noah's love for her. When Margaret and Noah went on their first date together, the date was perfection personified. Having known Margaret from childhood, Noah knew all her likes and dislikes and set out to delight her. When Noah proposed, Margaret accepted, with all the live in her heart. At that moment, a divine peace descended upon her, confirming God's blessing upon them. 
True to the name of the book, there is a time for everything, a time to be born and a time to die. A baby was born to a ranch helper and Margaret's grandfather had died. There is s time for rest and winter to herald the new season of growth and birth. Margaret's season of growth had come. She would mature in the role of serving her family and community with a healthy balance. I highly recommend this beautiful book of family love and affection to all who wish to enjoy a good, healthy, Christian read.

LETTING GO THIS CHRISTMAS - Natasha Queen

"Letting Go This Christmas" by Natasha Queen is a second chance holiday romance. Poignant and thought-provoking, it is all about letting go of past memories to pave the way for the brilliant future ahead. Unless past memories are voluntarily given up, the future can never arrive. It is how we deal with our past experiences, and the memories they bestow, that shapes the beauty of our character. In life, the priceless jewels of love and friendship are the precious things a person needs to survive.
In "Letting Go This Christmas," the only thing holding Cleo back is herself and her past memories, as she passionately clings to them for dear life, refusing to let go. Cleo had a lot of questions and no answers. Although Cleo was everything Charlie ever wanted in a bride, she was hopelessly tied up in her past, painful, bittersweet memories, unable to break free.
It was only when Charlie found a mutual link to Cleo's past and bridged the gap that Cleo's frozen heart finally melts, throwing  the floodgates wide open, and allowing love to heal all the wounds in her heart.
Natasha Queen is an expert at genuine affairs of the heart, recognizing the authentic nature of true love, and skillfully depicting it in her characters.
"Letting Go This Christmas" is an endearing story of true love that tugs at our heartstrings. It captures the latent love hidden in ordinary humdrum everyday lives, highlighting selfless acts of compassion and care. It leads us to examine our own hearts and inspires us to let go of past memories that only hinder us from moving forward. It explores the innocent, heartfelt loyalty of love, in a deeply-moving, dramatic story-within-a-story. I highly recommend this poignant, heart-moving book by an extremely gifted author and master wordsmith, Natasha Queen, who signs the book with her inimitable seal of perfection.
