Book Review: Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller

Posted on by Leonas Lines

This book is a novel of World War II in Poland. The story is fiction, but it is based on true events.
The story features two main characters Adia Kensington, who is an American horse trainer living in Poland and working at the famous Janow Podlaski horse stables, and Bret Conway, who is working undercover for the British Intelligence.
Adia and Brett happen to meet in Wygoda, Poland in 1939 just as the war is beginning to happen there. Though they instantly get off on the wrong foot emotionally, through a series of combined events their paths keep crossing and they soon find themselves working together to fight a common cause which is saving the prized Arabian horses from enemy takeover and destruction.

Book Review: Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller

This book is a real page turner, and it keeps the reader on edge as there is action, intrigue and suspense woven into every page. You won’t want to put this book down; it will captivate you!

I recommend this book to everyone who loves reading about World War II or those who enjoy reading historical fiction romance, as this book also has a sweet love story entwined within all the drama.

I received a copy of this book from Revell, a division of Baker Book Publishing, in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and comments are my own.

Farewell

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Watching as you leave…
August, you brought lots of sunshine,
Must I say goodbye?
I am not looking forward
To those Fall days
Of less sun and shorter days
That September brings.
Oh, that Summertime would linger
Instead of running away.

The time is very near

Christ is returning soon

You who have ears please hear

The time is very near

Soon He will appear

Maybe morning, night or noon

The time is very near

Christ is returning soon

And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. Revelation 22:12

Silent Sententials

Still standing

In memory, years later

August 26, 1920 Women’s Rights To Vote, 19th Amendment, went into effect after many years of campaigning by Women’s Sufferage groups, especially Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, Katherine Morey, and many others who fought and suffered so valiantly for this.

So thankful to all those women who gave of their time, effort and sufferings to win us women today the right to vote!

Let’s not let them down! Let’s not let their efforts be wasted or done in vain. Let’s be sure to vote!!

I went to lunch at a fast food place today, which I rarely do as I don’t like fast food but my companions chose our lunch place so I went with it.

I asked for a cup of water to drink and was served it in a plastic cup with plastic lid.

I asked for a straw and was given a paper wrapped paper straw.

 

I really dislike paper straws, they taste awful to me, however I can support their use in an attempt to save the environment, however I do not understand the purpose of providing paper straws in plastic cups with plastic lids, if seems to defeat the whole purpose.
