This new book by Kh. Christine Rogers was wonderful! I had so enjoyed her book, The Road to Golgotha, last year and was delighted to learn she had a new book being published. The first thing I noticed when beginning this story was how easy it was to engage with the characters. They are wholly … Continue reading Review: Spyridon’s Shoes

Yarn Along for August
