A Pleasant Surprise!

I'm pretty picky when it comes to the television shows I watch, mainly because I don't have a lot of down time and when I do, I don't want to waste it on something that's not worth watching.

Review: Her Patchwork Family by Lyn Cote

When Felicity Gabriel inherits a mansion, she decides to turn it into a home for orphans. But her first charges test her resolve: one child is a thief, suspicious of her kindness; the other is the local judges traumatized daughter. Broken by war, Judge Tyrone Hawkins is devastated when his little girl runs from him to Felicity.
