Lily Brandt was glad when her father decided to move the family from Duluth to a farm in Iowa. She didn’t want to keep encountering her former fiancé and his new wife. But would Iowa turn out to be any better with her sister’s flirting and the handsome new neighbor’s quiet ways? She hadn’t gotten over Calem’s rejection yet, so she wasn’t ready for a new relationship, and she had her grandmother’s quilt to remind her to be cautious.

New beginnings!

This was such a sweet story! The characters were developed well and the story has a good flow. a light hearted, fun listen. I can possibly see another story coming with Lily's sister as the main character. I love listening to these stories. I love that scripture is interwoven in the lines.

Christian Historical Romance

This was such a wonderful story!!
I loved their shy neighbor immediately! Despite his great loss, he had a heart of gold and believed God had brought Lily into his life for her to be his wife as soon as he met her!
There are painful lessons the sisters both learn, but a beautiful ending with God's perfect plan!
I loved the narration and was impressed that she used accents for the townspeople to make sure each one's voice sounded different!

Sweet story

I love the characters and the plot. The sisters had such different personalities getting one into a bit of trouble. Great Christian story.

Second Chances

I really enjoyed this story. The story flows nicely and has interesting characters.
I would have a very hard time forgiving a sibling for what Lily’s sister does though. While they definitely have a rough time getting along for a while, I didn’t get the feeling it was because of her sister’s betrayal.
There is a happy ending and plenty of life lessons along the way.

great book

I listened to this one on audio. The narrator did a great job in bringing this book to life. This was a nice book to listen to. The characters were great and I liked the story.

A sweet listen

This was such a sweet story. I enjoyed watching Lily and Adrian's relationship grow. it was nice to see her relationship with her family was also good... she wasn't spoiled like her little sister who liked to create drama.

I loved the ending and the significance of her Grandma's quilt that was mentioned throughout the story.

I really enjoy books by Janice Cole Hopkins. The narrative was done well on this.

Great!

What an emotional and beautiful story. Lily was treated awful by her fiancé and he married another woman. Lily and her family moved to a new home and Lily found another man and she began to have feelings for him. Then she thought the same thing was happening to her again. The narrator was great and brought It to life.

Warmth to my heart!

There is something special about Janice Cole Hopkins. Every book makes me feel good, and that is a huge plus for me! This book features sisters, Lily and Hilde. Moving to Iowa pleased Lily, as she was getting away from the hurt of her ex-fiance. Not ready to open her heart to anyone new, she begins her new life. Hilde on the other hand is not happy with the move. She misses her friends, and has difficulty finding a man she feels worthy of her. Now Adrian has moved in next door and taken a liking to Lily, but Hilde is flirting with him. And now Dirk has her eye.Where does it end? These two have bit of a rivalry, at least from Hilde's standpoint. Where does it all end? The story takes a few twists and turns that make it exciting and fresh. The girls and the men are complete opposites, and it creates a world of fun for the listener! I loved how it all turns out.

LB Neibaur gives a wonderful performance for this story, with a cast of characters that is so completely different and each of her voices fits them perfectly. From the shy Adrian to the arrogant Dirk, she has the men down pat. And the women, for Lily she is a little on the quiet side, and Hilde a bit of a brat! Her voices are strategically chosen and made this listen spot on! I enjoyed it!

Sweet Western Romance

Janice Cole Hopkins delivers a well written, entertaining book in Lily. I listened to the audio and LB Neibnaour brought the characters to life.
Lily was a young girl with many bumps in her life. She overcomes a failed relationship, a family move to a new life, and a sister making poor decisions. She almost lost her faith in God and men.
If you love happy endings this book is for you!

Romantic

This was such a romantic sweet, clean western style historical story! I loved how morally clean actions were put forward by the main characters, and the happy ending!
