Dori Grant is no stranger to hardship. As a young single mother in the gossip-fueled town of Blessings, Georgia, she's weathered the storm of small-town disapproval most of her life. But when Dori loses everything within the span of an evening, she realizes she has no choice but to turn to her neighbors.

Everyone says the Pine boys are no good, but Johnny Pine has been proving the gossips wrong ever since his mother died and he took over raising his brothers. His heart goes out to the young mother and child abandoned by the good people of Blessings. Maybe he can be the one to change all that....

What did you love best about I'll Stand by You?

I loved the fact that it was a sweet, heartwarming story of two young people who have faced tough times and found love when they least expected it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of I'll Stand by You?

So many memorable moments in this book, hard to pick just one. Instead I will pick one of my favorite characters Johnny's youngest brother Beep. He is sweet and says so many funny and cute things.

I thought she did a great job narrating the book, and I look forward to hearing other books read by her.

I got caught up in Johnny and Dori's story - it made me smile, it made me laugh and it did make me cry a little bit.

Any additional comments?

I LOVE Sharon Sala's books, she is an amazing writer. IMO if you love to read heartwarming stories set in a small, friendly town, full of Southern Gals, "gossip" and interesting characters then this book is for you!

Another Excellent book by Sharon Sala

I’ll Stand By You (Blessings, Georgia #2) was another great read by Sharon Sala. Dori is a young sing mother and has had her share of hardships. She lives in a small-town and has felt the disapproval of many of the gossip filled people in town. She winds up losing everything in one night and must turn to those same gossip filled people. Ever since Johnny’s mother died, he has been raising his brothers. He and his brothers take care of Dori and her child, when the rest of the small town seemed to abandon them. I loved Dori and Johnny’s story and can’t wait to read more by Sharon Sala.

This story was amazing I laughed and cried. There were times I wanted to strangle some of the characters. Johnnie and Dori have lived through a life time of pain in such a short amount of time, and yet they have found each other it was a beautiful story. Would love to see a spin off series of the boys grown up and what became of them and whether or not they had more babies.

Wonderfully addictive story

A truly inspirational book. Life is never easy but the hardships thrown at these people and the way a small town's gossip can hurt and then help restore and support, will have you crying then laughing. I highly recommend this book.

I stand by Sharon Sala!

Such a sweet romance. <3 I often hate books that seem to be in the insta love category. This is different in that it wasn't all about lust & sex but more about taking a leap of faith to build up on a solid foundation of family. Loved!

Adorable ;-) :-D

Loved this book!! The narrator was very monotone and made it very long and boring! Sad for a good book!

Great story!
