Publisher's summary

“Returning to Henry Adams, Kansas, is akin to attending a family reunion. The characters are rich, and the kids all have a story to be told.” (Romantic Times)

“This series is a winner.” (Minneapolis Examiner)

Best-selling author Beverly Jenkins takes listeners back to Henry Adams - a small town originally founded by freed slaves - for a delightful fourth visit with A Wish and a Prayer. Time spent in this close-knit community of lovable eccentrics is always quality time, and this trip promises to be especially memorable, with a pig on trial and new love blossoming. Loaded with heart and wit, Jenkins’ A Wish and a Prayer is like coming home - a welcome return that fans of Kimberla Lawson Roby and Angela Benson and African American romance fans will certainly want to experience.

Getting Better and Better

I'm really enjoying this series. I'm loving Bernadette and the kids more and more. The town sticking together, the kids getting acclamated is a nice listen. Making my way through this series, it will be bitter sweet once finished!

Awesome as usual!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series so far. I love Lynette Freeman’s performance! She is my favorite narrator for the Henry Adams characters😍 I am heading to look for the next book and I hope she is narrating!

Fun, Suspense, and Drama....

There were so many memorable moments in this book. The resilience of these kids is remarkable. The love shared by all warms the soul.

I’m addicted to this series!

If there was a Henry Adam’s support group I need the information. From the First generation Jefferson’s and Julys to this new group I’m obsessed! There is way too much to unpack of every book, and not the platform to do so. I also love when Lynette Freeman narrates this series. While Ms. Taylor is a brilliant narrator and actress I prefer her on other projects just not this one.

It's always great to step into Henry Adams

The author note put tears in my eyes, and the book overall made me gasp, laugh, and rejoice. But I can't really talk, gotta go grab book 5!
