What is she supposed to do about everything going on in her life?

Sealed with a Kiss--I am disappointed that this book isn't about Holly's visit with her dad. I was really looking forward to that. However, I did like the book better as it went on, but I would have liked to see one dealing with the visit to her dad. In this book, Holly learns that her mom and Mr. Tate are beginning to talk marriage plans. Meanwhile her mother has been getting strangely romantic secret admirer letters--someone who obviously knows her well. Holly is trying to figure out what is up with her and Danny--does he like her like that or what?--and also finds herself trying to impress an older boy who is her pen-pal.It all started with an idea. That idea turned into a quest. A quest to create a better alternative to the dreaded hospital gown. It had to be soft. It had to provide ample coverage. It had to allow room for monitor lines, IVs, casts, ports, and all the other things that can make a hospital stay uncomfortable; yet not be too bulky. It had to be functional. For younger aged patients, it had to be fun! For older patients, it had to be timeless. It felt fantastic to be home. He’d never thought the town would grow enough to sustain a general practice, but here he stood about to open his own business. Opening up about Holly’s changing style, Angie previously told the Daily Mail: "Holly was open to new ideas.

You can definitely see Andie's rebelliousness in this book. I did feel terrible that Stan let his friend make those remarks about her, but was glad that he apologized in the end. I really like Holly and Sean together. I loved the way Beverly Lewis used Holly's father to bring his wife to God, and how Saundra used her new "prayer list" to announce her surprise anniversary trip to him. I wasn't sure if Holly's dad was honestly going to make it, but am glad that he did. I am also glad that Andie, despite how little I care for her most of the time, didn't make any big mistakes with Rico. There doesn't seem to be an upcoming book in The Holly's Heart Series. The newest book is Its a Girl Thing and was released on October, 1st 2003. Secret Summer Dreams: The second installment in the Holly’s Heart book series. The book begins as Holly as already come up with a perfect summer plan. Holly’s father has asked her to head over to California, so that the two of them could spend time together. Holly is extremely excited that she is going to spend the summer with her father in California. For the most of Holly’s day, she pictures the type of activities that she will be involved on and the places that she will visit. Angie Smith is an English celebrity and red carpet stylist and has been in charge of Holly’s style for over three years.As is the case with all of Beverly Lewis books, she has once again managed to put a great emphasis on the cultural-importance of books such as Best Friend, Worst-Enemy, considering the fact that she has discussed the struggles of overcoming a broken home and learning to live with a merged family and also growing-up Godly. Doctor Ben Briely is keen to settle into life as a small town general practitioner and help his grandmother run Briely Park. The city life was never for him. He’s finally found the peace he’s longed for, until the arrival of that one woman he’s never been able to forget, threatens to shatter it all. No way is he revisiting that road of unrequited love…except Holly Peterson seems fragile and in need of saving, and Ben’s never stopped being Holly’s white knight. I liked this book pretty well. I am very relieved that Holly's mom did not marry Mr. Tate because I thought he was a controlling butt. I do feel bad for Zachary, though. I think Holly's mom can also be a bit selfish, and I still don't like Andie. I like the relationship between Holly and Danny a lot, even if he sometimes doesn't agree with her--no relationship is perfect! I also thought it was pretty cool that Holly got to meet her favorite author. Holly definitely grows in this chapter. I was disappointed that there wasn't any reconciliatory scene between Holly and Ben's grandmother considering she'd changed for the better and that she'd even given permission through Ben for Holly to use her property for the camp. The epilogue however was shown through her eyes and it isn't surprising to see that the twins have stolen her heart and she's looking forward to being a grandmother to them. We also get to see the couples from the previous books in the series, which was my missing in Elsa's stand - my only peeve with that book. At no point in the book was it made explicitly clear that if the adult returned Holly’s crush as she frequently and hopelessly dreams he will, it would be WRONG. While having a crush on a teacher is a typical adolescent experience, content for adolescents, ESPECIALLY Christian content, bears a responsibility to offer guidance and CLEAR teaching that an adult reciprocating interest in a child is WRONG. This content is dangerous for adolescents and was incredibly out of character when compared with the rest of the Holly’s Heart series.

I felt very sympathetic for Holly in this book. I had to move three times during my young life, and even though I enjoyed a change, sometimes it was hard leaving behind everything that you knew, including friends. I felt that Holly's stepfather and mother should have been a little more gentle with this news of moving after she almost lost her cat in the last book. I am glad things worked out in the end, though! The Trouble With Weddings--Holly's mother is getting married and Holly is determined to make her mother's wedding the best thing ever, even when her mother states she doesn't want a flashy wedding. She is also getting annoyed with Danny, who has been very preachy and controlling lately. When she discovers her first crush, Jared, still likes her, she can't help but be suspicious. So suspicious that she decides to test him. As for Holly’s Heart, Holly and Ben both have had tragic events in their lives. While these are defining factors in their lives, they have managed to live with grace and purpose. I liked that about them. Also I like the focus that was on the twins, as well as how the Ben and Holly found such a positive balance for the four of them. The big surprise was Ben’s grandmother. Even she helped to keep this story heartwarming. I wish we could have know her husband, Ben’s grandfather. Perhaps we did a little since he must have been a lot like Ben. Little White Lies--Holly is excited to be going to visit her dad in California for two weeks, but Andie is less than thrilled. Holly is amazed to discover that her brousin (cousin/step-brother) stood by and let his new friend make mean comments concerning Andie's ethnicity. Desperate to get away from Dressel Hills, Andie begs Holly to let her go with her to California. After some convincing, Andie's mom allows her to go--as long as Holly promises to keep an eye on Andie and to not go pairing off with boys. Holly eagerly agrees but after Andie meets Rico, an older Hispanic boy on the beach, she finds her best friend becoming more and more stubborn. She's also worried about her father, who seems to be having health problems.Each month, on the full moon, we will be adding exciting new content & watch out for the WYLDE MOON boutique launching soon.
