The Sharing Knife by Lois McMaster Bujold
“A thoughtful and skillful author.”
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
One
of the most respected writers in the field of speculative fiction, Lois
McMaster Bujold has won numerous accolades and awards, including the
Nebula and Locus Awards as well as the fantasy and science fiction
genre’s most prestigious honor, the Hugo Award for Best Novel, four
times (most recently for Paladin of Souls). With The Sharing
Knife series, Bujold creates a brand new world fraught with peril, and
spins an extraordinary romance between a young farm girl and the brave
sorcerer-soldier entrusted with the defense of the land against a plague
of vicious malevolent beings. In Passage, volume three in
Bujold’s breathtaking saga of love, loyalty, and courage in the face of
bigotry and dark magic, the devoted wedded lovers Fawn Bluefield and Dag
Redwing Hickory are joined by new companions in their quest to find
peace, acceptance, and a place in a most dangerous world. (From Amazon.com product listing.)

The Measure of a Heart by Janette Oke
Anna Trent felt fortunate to finish the eight grade with first-class honors. Already past her sixteenth birthday, most of the girls her age had been forced long ago to drop out to help at home. She loved school-- loved to learn, loved the excitement of new discoveries, loved the quickening of her pulse as she shared some great adventure in the pages of a book. And now that is over.
The oldest child in a farming family with six younger brothers, Anna is shy, sensitive and a bit self-conscious. But when Austin Barker comes to their church to fill the pastorate for the summer months, the young seminarian is captured by Anna's admirable qualities, especially her intense desire to learn. Through his books and correspondence, Anna's education continues to expend, and the sweet country girl grows into a lovely woman.
When they meet again, will she be able to believe that Austin's words are sincere? Despite the compassion and grace she so effectively lives, and despite her selfless commitment to God and His Word, what can she do when time does not erase the inadequacy she feels or her struggles with the standard that measures her hear? Will she ever be able to see herself as others do? (From the back cover of book.)
