Happy Wednesday again, friends!
Today, I’m picking up where I left off last week in my spotlight of several of my favorite diverse reads, specifically with ethnically diverse characters & blended cultures.
Set against the stunning landscape of Kenya, the multi-generational From Kenya, With Love series by Rula Sinara is a feast for the senses.
In This Courageous Journey by Misty M. Beller, we meet Daniel, a complex character wrestling with the many dimensions & nuances of his heritage.
Sydney Tooman Betts’ People of the Book series will make God’s Word come alive for you in fresh ways, seeing His Story from the Native American’s perspective with new eyes.
Terri J. Haynes’ “Legacy of Love” in The Runaway Brides Collection is a sweet romance & also gives insight into a different perspective on the Reconstruction era than what we’re normally taught in history class.
Speaking of history not really taught in schools, the Creek Country Saga from April Gardner is powerful and emotional as it highlights a period of history we don’t often read about
In Camy Tang’s Protection for Hire series, we get well-defined & layered (sometimes hilarious) characters, romance, humor, faith, cultural diversity & smartly-plotted suspense (with martial arts!)
Randy Alcorn’s Safely Home, a compelling inside look at the underground Chinese church, quite simply changed my life.
Pick up any book by Lori Benton for an emotional and compelling story of blended cultures that will linger long in your heart
Pick up the Secrets of Rios Azules suspense series by Alexa Verde and meet a diverse group of friends & multicultural relationships
I love the biracial characters – and relationships – in Ruth Logan Herne’s Shepherd’s Crossing series from Love Inspired
The Long Highway Home by Elizabeth Musser is a multicultural, multi-continent story that will open your eyes
What about you? Have you read any of these diverse reads yet?
Hmmm…I somehow missed the notification for your part one last week…my email is being wonky, I think. I’ve read four of the books in your list this time round. Discovered that two of the books from last week are on audible. — eeep! Death by Dumpling and Hummus by Homicide plus This Courageous Journey from this week is as well. That makes me happy!
