In Black and White By: MaryAnn Diorio

This story was very heartwarming, especially for the times we are in; in our lives right now. Tori, a student at Penn State meets Jebuni, a foreign exchange student from Ghana.  They become friends and eventually fall in love. They were not accepted and there were threats and harassment issues they had to deal with. Also, in Ghana Jebuni was to become the Chief of his Tribe and the elders would find a wife for him.  Tori and Jebuni get married and eventually she moves to Ghana after their studies at Penn State were done.  Her father had disowned her and she was pleased that she was now accepted in Ghana.  This story continues on and ends with a happy note but my heart still stirred because we are all from Adam and Eve. God loves all of us. We are not picked out by color we are all his children. I am blessed to be one of his children. This is a 5* book.

The Heart of a Hero By Susan May Warren

This is book 2 of Global Search and Rescue and it was full of excitement and inspiration.  Aria is a pediatric doctor and Jake was a SEAL.  Jake had rescued Aria in Alaska on Denali Mountain. Now, in Florida when a hurricane hits and Jake comes to the rescue again. They are stranded in a hospital with three other people. Jake has feelings for Aria and Aria has feelings for Jake but neither are ready to be hurt again. This was a real good book and I am anxious to read Book 3.  I received this book courtesy of Baker Publishing Group through Interviews & Reviews. This is a 5* rating.
