It is the prequel to my Not Quite Series and can be read before any of the other books in my Not Quite Series ( Not Quite Mr. Darcy , Not Quite Colonel Brandon , and Not Quite Mr. Knightley ), or as a standalone. It's main character is Margaret , and she is the thread through the series. In this book she is a young woman finding her way. In Darcy she is in the end stages of life, and in the other two books she's referred to. Get the links for both the free ebook and paperbacks  here ! Book blurb for Not Quite Miss Austen by Kim Griffin: Step back to 1955 England in this heartwarming romance that blends friendship and faith with a note...

The Swedish Milkmaid is a sweet story based on the true story of a woman once considered the most beautiful woman in Sweden . The story was exaggerated until it became like a folktale. Olivia has taken the tale and brought it to life with her vivid descriptions that make you feel like you are part of another time and place. It’s filled with faith and lessons learned on how to deny ourselves and live in the way God has shown us is right. It also points to discerning what is truly beautiful and worthy to be treasured.   Central to the story is Linnéa’s friendship with her handsome neighbor Rane who helps her in ways she never expected and adds a touch of romance to the book.  I enjoyed mining the riches found in this beautiful yet simple story.  Get The Swedish Milkmaid paperback here .
