Here are five stories I have read and loved this year that I will gladly suggest:
Our Only May Amelia by Jennifer L. Holm - a beautiful historical fiction telling of an American-Finnish girl with a wild spirit
Not My Will by Francena Arnold - a very good contemporary story of learning to surrender
The Green Ember series by S. D. Smith - these were written for people much younger than I, but the entirety of the series and its sub-series is all about swords and rabbits and courage and community, and reading it was wonderful.
Marmee: A Little Women Novel by Sarah Miller - some of the content would call for an older audience; however, I absolutely loved every minute spent reading this. It's the Little Women account in the form of Marmee's diary.
When the World Was Ours by Liz Kessler - one of those books written in multiple perspectives; based on a true story, it is such a good, bittersweet tale about three friends during the Holocaust.
