New Cover for Amish Baby Snatched!

5/21/2024

I never liked the original cover with the cradle. When I saw this graphic with the pregnant woman, I fell in love with it. Everything else is the same!

Blurb:
When two young women from completely different worlds forge a friendship, they don’t realize what tragic events will alter their bond.

Instead of going backpacking in Europe for the summer, pregnant eighteen-year-old Chloe Parrish ends up in Fields Corner. Her parents send her there to work in her aunt’s restaurant. Chloe’s parents and her boyfriend Logan want her to consider adoption. Amish and happily married, Beth Byler is pregnant with her first baby. When she sees how sad Chloe seems at the doctor’s office, Beth asks if everything is okay. Although they come from different backgrounds, their pregnancies give them something to share and they become friends. During their prenatal visits, Chloe and Beth meet a new obstetrician, Dr. Tony Cunningham. He becomes interested in the lovely Chloe. Tony and Chloe find themselves at crossroads in their lives—she’s torn about what to do about her baby, and Tony isn’t sure he wants to do Amish home births. After a baby is kidnapped, anger explodes between Beth and Chloe. Can both women recover from a heartbreaking situation, and trust God still knows what is best for them?

Reviews:
Long And Short Reviewer - 5 stars
"Time, place and setting all enhance and move the plot along and create vivid imagery for her readers. For those who assume an inspirational romance cannot handle conflict, drama and suspense, I recommend they read Diane Craver's Marrying Mallory, for it is all there."

"This book was realistic and emotional. All the characters played dynamic parts in the story. I recommend this book to everyone. I certainly enjoyed reading this author." - Brenda Talley, Reviewer for The Romance Studio

Easter & Babysitting

4/5/2024

The weekend before Easter, we watched our youngest granddaughter, Irelynn, from Thursday through Palm Sunday evening. We enjoyed having her here. Our other Craver grandchildren were at their mother's house until Sunday evening. We also had them Sunday evening. Our son and daughter-in-law's flight was delayed by two hours so they didn't get home until close to midnight. We decided to go to their house before 5. It was a good decision because the kids could go to bed and were at their home instead of ours. They had school on Monday.

I had brunch on Easter because Christina and I went to church at 9:00. Tom and Sara went to Holy Saturday service. Amanda served at St. Ann Church at 9:00. All our adult children and grandchildren were here for the brunch and Easter Egg Hunt. I don't have photos to share of Easter pictures of grandchildren except fortunately have one of our grandson Dean. I took a short video of the Egg Hunt but can't post videos on my website. I have one of Irelynn that was taken in studio in her Easter dress.

Lila received the Virtue monthly award from St. Veronica School last month. She's in third grade! We are so proud of her accomplishment!

RUBY'S REDEMPTION, Book 1 in Gems of Grace Series!

3/12/2024

After I posted Pearl's Promise, I realized I never posted my review for Ruby's Redemption! Here it is!

Ruby’s Redemption is an exceptional story about the power of God’s love to transform a young woman’s life. As I started reading this book, I learned that Ruby was a prostitute but not by choice. Her cruel uncle lied to her dying mother that he’d take care of Ruby. Uncle Millforte forces her to work for him in his brothel. When an unlikely meeting occurs between Ruby and a minister, Henry Stratton, she sees the kindness in his eyes. Henry goes to the brothel without realizing it wasn’t where he was supposed to be for a meeting. She’s touched that he isn’t like the men who want her services. Kiernan writes the scenes in the brothel without it being graphic or disturbing but you still feel Ruby’s pain as a prostitute.

There is a lot of suspense because Henry learns that Millforte doesn’t want to lose Ruby and the money she makes for him. Henry is determined to get Ruby out of the brothel and away from Millforte’s cruelty. I loved Ruby’s inspiring journey to becoming a Christian with Henry’s guidance. Also, Henry’s Aunt Abigail is another well-written character. I felt her concerns as Henry and Ruby fell in love with each other.

I highly recommend Kiernan’s Ruby’s Redemption. It was a book I could not put down because I was so invested in the characters.

Pearl's Promise - A Faith-Based Regency Romance!

3/12/2024

When I started reading Pearl’s Promise, I was delighted to learn more about the character Pearl Acton. She’d been in Ruby’s Redemption, Book One, in the Gems of Grace Series. It was nice to reconnect with this young woman. Pearl had been in love with Henry Stratton, the minister at her church. I’d felt sorry for her that a marriage between her and Henry hadn’t happened. Her sweet and gracious nature caught my attention so when in Book 2, her parents demand she marry for money, I sympathize greatly with her. Pearl doesn’t want to marry some man with money but wants to marry for love.

Unfortunately, her father has lost his fortune, so he arranges for Pearl to go to live with his cousins, the Maxwells. Her father wants her to marry wealthy Mr. Clarence. Pearl sees how Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell are in love and not at all like her parents’ loveless marriage. She’s afraid her arranged marriage will not be happy when she doesn’t love Mr. Clarence and he isn’t a man she wants to marry. She feels that there isn’t a choice when her father is counting on her to marry for money.

When wealthy Nicholas Dalton’s father sends him to London for the season, he’s unhappy to leave a very ill tenant. The elder Mr. Dalton is a cruel man with no feelings for his tenants. Nicolas is just the opposite with a big heart and wants to improve the conditions for the tenants. Nicholas is speechless when he sees the beautiful Pearl for the first time. His shyness continues and Nicholas has difficulty in approaching Pearl when he’s in London.

Pearl’s Promise has many things included to make you feel you’re in the regency period with the afternoon teas, a social season packed with balls and dances. Pearl’s Promise is a faith-filled story with the teachings of Christ developed very well in this romance.
