Now all Jonah and Brooklyn can do is lead lives of lowered expectations. After all, what's the use of getting your hopes up when there's no chance of your dreams coming true?

The nosy pastor's wife, Maureen, is determined that Family Chapel's annual Mother's Day Tea will be better than ever this year. She's also determined that her nephew Jonah and little "Brookie" Lee will start to dream again.

With a bit of Maureen's charm and meddling, she manages to convince both Brooklyn and Jonah to help her with the upcoming tea. Will Jonah forgive himself for his past mistakes? Will Brooklyn allow God to heal her heart from her terrible loss? Will Brooklyn and Jonah open their hearts to a new dream the Lord has for them?

Beautiful Story!

This book was wonderful! Such a sweet, heartfelt, cute, funny story, with some heartwarming and breaking moments.

Both Brooklyn (FMC) and Jonah(the MMC) have hurt in their past and things to work through. And together they help one another heal, and get closer to God. Their relationship was so sweet and cute, and I loved them so much! I think I had a smile on my face half the time I was listening to it 🤭

Jonah is also a dad of an adorable little girl, Ava, and their relationship is amazing, and when Ava gets to know Brooklyn she loves her immediately!

The story is pretty fast paced, but the love story is not, it spands a few months during the book, but I love how she wrote it. She had some of their meetings they had were told to us as replaying the memories in their minds, or talking about a phone call they had. I felt it was fun and different to do it that way!

God was woven throughout this story, in themes of healing, forgiveness, finding your back to Him, and love.
And there is many loveable side characters including a meddling pastor's wife, who is bubbly and caring, she pushes these two together and it totally worked! I loved her character as well as all the rest who played a part in the story. Such a beautiful story!

The Narrator was also amazing, she does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life in your mind! And even giving a distinction between which characters are talking. So good! The emotions she inflects is perfect, if their laughing you can tell, if their sad you can tell. There's even a part in this book that a character sang a little song, and instead of just reading it, she sang it exactly how I imagine the character would've, full of joy!
