    I have read several of these books, and three of my favorites are "Twist of Faith" by Pepper Basham, "No Way Up" by Mary Connealy (who always brings a smile to my face" and "An Elegant Facade" (which also made me cry). "Love, Lace, and Minor Alterations" is sitting in my Amazon cart! And I love Dana Mentink's books!
