A Fun Weekend Read

Short-Straw BrideShort-Straw Bride by Karen Witemeyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was pure enjoyment. This book has alot of humor, a bit of romance and is lots of fun! Yes, you can sort of tell where the story is going, how its going to end, etc... etc... But if you want a relaxing to read, exciting book to get lost in. This is one of those book. I would certainly recommend it. I read it in a few days.

The basic plot starts out with a young girl, Meredith, caught trespassing on Archer property. Years later, for completely different reasons she is caught trespassing again. But this time to return an act kindness. Being there complicates her life immensely but is also her dream come true. As the title entails she becomes the short-straw bride, but not for the reasons she suspects. Now she must learn to trust her new husband and he must learn to trust her. Will this marriage develop love or just be a marriage of convenience? I hope you will read the book.

This is the first time I have read a book by Karen Witemey, but I may have to read a few more.

My Body's Mine helps children learn they have the rights to their body. Told through rhyme from a child's point of view this book on boundaries empowers each child to say no when others approach them in ways that make them uncomfortable. It also gives clear instructions on what to do if they are approached in an unwanted manner. The questions at the end of the book provides an easy transition for counselors and parents to open a discussion to prevent abuse or to further explore if abuse has occurred.
