I’m reading Ezra and Kate: A Love Story of Faith. It’s powerful to see how two people can come together out of tragedy.
Ezra and Kate: A Love Story Of Faith by Colleen White is the author. I forgot to include it earlier.

Currently reading AN ISLAND AT WAR by Deborah Carr
have you read, Insanity Is Hereditary you get it from "Your Children," (2023 edition); or The Origin of Words According to DJ? Both of these books are unlike any books that I have ever read, witty, inspirational, uniquely enlightening, and refreshingly unorthodox.
