Having parents who have immigrated from Asia in search of a better life – Freedom Swimmer is a story that holds true to my heart. It’s an eye-opening and humbling story about two brave boys with nothing but the courage in their heart and bravery in their souls – and I’m still reeling from feels after reading […]
Look out Sherlock Holmes, because you’re not the only detective in town. Stalking Jack the Ripper introduces Audrey Rose, who is probably one of my favorite heroines up to date.

To say I adored this book would be an understatement. Think a little along the lines of the Da Vinci Code. It has the secrets and mystery, the fast pace, and the stubborn characters who just don’t know when to stop looking for clues. Historical fiction is one of my low key favorite genres because there’s so […]
