Valley of Decision by Lynne Gentry
Purchase a copy: http://bit.ly/1VU6WsA
Every choice has a consequence in the explosive conclusion to the Carthage Chronicles as Lisbeth returns to third-century Carthage for a thrilling final adventure.
Thirteen years ago, Lisbeth made an impossible decision—leave third-century Carthage and her husband Cyprian behind for good. She knew it was to protect her daughter Maggie, so Lisbeth gathered the strength to move on with her life.
All these years, Lisbeth has thrown herself into her work and raising her headstrong daughter, all to live up to the promise she made to Cyprian. But Maggie is sick of being protected. In an act of teenage rebellion Maggie decides to do what her mother can’t—secretly returning to the third century on a quest to bring her father back, leaving Lisbeth no choice but to follow.
With Maggie’s surprise arrival in Carthage, chaos ensues. She finds her grandmother on trial for murder and attempts to save her, but instead the diversion sparks a riot that nearly destroys the plagued city. Only one thing will appease the wrath of the new proconsul of Carthage: the death of the instigator.
Will Lisbeth arrive in time to save her daughter from the clutches of Rome? How can God possibly redeem such a slew of unwise decisions and deep regrets?
What an amazing adventure!
I can’t believe it’s time to say goodbye to these special characters that I’ve come to know and love! The only consolation I have is that this fantastic series has a special place on my keeper shelf, and I can revisit third-century Carthage again and again.

If I could travel back in time, there are so many different times that would be fun to visit–but not live there permanently, because I love my modern conveniences. One particular time that I would love to visit is the early 1900’s. This is the time when my grandmother was born and I would really love to become acquainted with those times and places where she grew up. Thank you for offering a copy of Valley of Decision. I posted this giveaway on my Pinterest Book Giveaway board. I follow by newsletter and on my readers.
I love my modern conveniences, too! Thank you for following my blog and sharing the giveaway, Kay! Good luck!

If I could travel back in time, I’d probably want to be alive when Jesus was roaming the earth. I’ve never heard of this author, so I really look to bloggers and reviews like yours in making decisions when deciding my next book. Thank you for s beautiful review. This book sounds like a page turner and one that has great character depth. I hope to meet these great characters soon! Thank you for posting! I’ll be sure to check more about the author.
I highly recommend Lynne’s books, Sarah! She is a master storyteller! Best of luck in the giveaway!
Thanks for the tremendous shout out, Britney.
I have answered this question before and know that it always sounds crazy, but I really want to see life during the Great Depression – somewhere in the mid-west where farming is/was a way and means to life. Sometimes I get so exasperated with entitled behaviors, especially if it is coming from my own children. I like reading about those times and experiences, b/c it reminds me of how everyone had to work together to provide and care for a family. A week would be all I could handle, b/c it would be hard for me emotionally seeing the devastation to the American farmer who had to withstand droughts, low crop prices and unfulfilled promises from the government. tlhcoupon (at) hotmail (dot) com I, of course, follow your wonderful blog through email and I will also share this on facebook (FB name – Terrill Harris Rosado)

Sounds like a fellow Grapes of Wrath lover.

If I could travel back in time… Hmm! That’s a hard question!! I’d like to visit Rome at the height of its power or when the early church was first getting started. It would be interesting to compare/contrast it to today’s society. I’d pretty much like to visit any time period actually 😅 mdp94 (at) bellsouth (dot) net I shared on Twitter, and I follow the blog (via email)!
It is a hard question for me, too! 🙂 There are several time periods that intrigue me, which is why I love reading historical fiction! Thanks so much for being a blog follower and sharing the giveaway! Good luck!
I would have gone back to the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition West. I would have loved to have gone on that trip to see the land, the people, the plants and animals, and the foodstuffs. Also the big rivers and untouched pristine landscape. It would have been so exciting.
Yes, that would have been a very exciting time! Best of luck in the giveaway, Joy!
I would travel back to the early 60’s when I was a little girl and all my loved ones were alive and well.

What a wonderful visit that would be, Janet! Best of luck in the giveaway!
I think during the Civil War or the Victorian period.
