When the Mountain Crumbled
Heartfelt Story Blending History, Romance, and Faith I’ve always enjoyed reading Angela Couch’s books—she’s such a fantastic writer, and When the Mountain Crumbled is no exception.

November Knight
Thrilling Twists and Heartfelt Romance November Knight is the first book I’ve read by Debbi Migit, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
