Rise And Shine The Most fun Fairytale of the Summer. by Sandra D, Bricker

Rise And Shine is a Contemporary  Fairy Tale by Sandra D. Bricker.  Just like Sleeping Beauty she awakens after a long sleep with future protector by her side.  I love the Prince and Princess comments and the beginning of each chapter.  I read the book originally in E-Book  form but I enjoyed reading in paperback style better.  Her style of writing in this book Is like springtime.  Sandra gift of humor is what brings the fresh upbeat style to her books.  Shannon was in a coma for 10 yrs.  While she is asleep many things have passed her by.  So when she wakes up every thing is fresh and new and ready to bloom.

Before her accident Shannon had a love for the oldies Such as The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy.  In the beginning she had amnesia   I really identify with Shannon in  that she was out of it for a long time and the world went on with out her.  Then one day she awoke and she did not know what had happened to her.  This was the beginning of an amazing adventure for her and those around her that love her.   Shannon had to find her identity in who she was in Christ and what God has for her to do outside of who she once was. Her best friend Izzie, well I wish we all could have a best friend/cheerleader like her.

The first book in her new series is If the Shoe Fits this fairy tale is looking for Prince Charming  .   

I have not clicked with another of Sandra Bricker’s characters in this fashion since Sherilyn in Always The Wedding Planner Never The Bride  of The Emma Rae Collection.

 I picked up this book yesterday and now my house is dirty, my eyes are red from trying to finish it before bed, and I had to take a nap after I finished this afternoon.  I have only read a few of Janice Thompson books. My first was Fools rush in. Part of the Charm of these books is the fact they are on Galveston Island. The people that come do not want to leave and the ones that leave love to come back. It seems to be a running them in some of her characters. Reading one of her books is like sitting down with a friend over coffee, and hearing their story. The sense of family in her books are strong and  second chances she brings to the forefront of her books, we all need. In this book Janice shows how we struggle with our own self-doubts and how God sees us as beautiful. I love the way God showed up at the talent show. It reminds me that God can take the most imperfect and 'not the way I planned moments' to change lives.  'For I know the Plans for you" In all honesty my house was already dirty, I was thinking about cleaning it. I picked up this book and the feeling past. Now where are my eye drops. Click here to follow her blog and learn more about her and her books. Oh I didnt mention that it is one of her wedding books and the heroine Scarlet is a baker. Who doesn't love a good wedding and an Italian Cream Cake.
