Books with title Georgia

Hi friends,My name is Georgianna Delrose but you can just call me Georgie – all my friends do. I live in London, England (not far from the famed Abbey Road of the Beatles), which tourists crowd regularly. It's really nice here and rains a lot even in the summer, but I like it. I live with my father and mum and our three Siamese cats – Flo, Spree, and Charlie. I used to be the only child, until I got a little sister.My little sister came two years ago – when the most important thing in my life happened. You see, I go to church with my parents all the time, and take part in all the youth events we have, and two years ago, I thought attending church made me a Christian. But when I was fourteen, I took a mission trip to Cambodia and on that trip I discovered a lot about God, myself, and my relationship with Him. I'm sixteen now, and life couldn't be better, but to understand why I'm saying that – you have to read my story.Georgie

Magnolia Grace never wanted to leave Georgia. She never wanted to move with her mama to the farm her daddy owned before he died. But now here she is―in a tiny Vermont town where everybody sings the praises of the father she never knew. Then Maggie meets the Parker family―two moms, six kids, plus a pony. The Parkers are loud and wild, ask lots of questions, and don't follow any of the rules Maggie grew up with in Georgia. Suddenly Maggie has questions too―questions about her father and why Mama kept him away for so long. In her search for answers, Maggie will learn that families are like patchwork quilts, sewn together by love, and all the more beautiful for their different colors.
