Hi Everyone!
I am a newbie and I can't tell you all how much this forum has inspired me! I am telling many Catholic mothers about you all. Thank you so much for all your insight.
I am wondering if any of you could recommend a good, heart-warming story (prefably with some Catholicity to it) for a 16 year neice of mine for Christmas. Any ideas? I really appreciate it!
Much grace, peace and love to you all!
Hassie

I know a 16 year old girl whose favorite books are Regina Doman's trilogy (not yet completed)...

In the Shadow of the Bear

Black as Night

I recommend you read the reviews at Amazon (great!) and you can see a sample chapter on Snowhite and RoseRed.com

I was thinking of recommending those ones, too. I know I would have liked them as a teenager.

Another one also by Bethlehem Press is They Loved to Laugh

Jen and Willa,
Thank you so much! I will look into these and choose one for her Christmas gift. She loves to read so I am sure she will enjoy one of your recommendations.
Have a blessed weekend
