NAACP nominee and USA Today bestselling author Beverly Jenkins celebrates her beloved Blessings series with a heartwarming novel set in Henry Adams, Kansas.

“If you haven’t yet gotten your hands on [this] author’s work, you should do so immediately.”—Shondaland

Tamar July, town matriarch of Henry Adams, KS, is being haunted by dreams of her humiliating wedding day, sixty years ago, when she discovered her intended, Joel Newton, was already married. The truth left her furious, heartbroken, and carrying a child, her son Malachi “Mal” July. Why are these dreams coming to her now? And is the great horned owl perched on her backyard shed somehow connected? When Joel’s legitimate son comes to Henry Adams wanting to meet his half-brother, Mal, Tamar must deal with her past, her anger, and explore what it means to truly forgive.

Tamar isn’t the only one being tested. Teenager Devon July wants to be anyone but himself. When he first arrived in Henry Adams, as an eight-year-old foster child, he wanted to be a preacher. Then, to be like his adopted brother, Amari. Now, he’s decided to be a variant of James Brown—wig included—rather than who he really is, a boy who lost his beloved grandmother and is the son of a mentally challenged woman. Will Tamar be able to guide his spirit quest and place him on the road to finally being at peace within himself?

As the big August 1st celebration nears, town owner Bernadine Brown has a lot on her plate, chief among them, what to do with former mayor Riley Curry’s monstrous tribute to his hog Cletus. There are no secrets in Henry Adams, but there’s never a dull moment either.

A New Visit to Henry Adams

If you've followed the series, you'll love this book. If you haven't read any of the books yet, start at the beginning. It's a great series and this book had a few unexpected twists. Wholesome fun with a bit of history sprinkled in makes this and the other books a great read. I loved it! My only regret is that I finished it in less than 24 hours and now I don't know what to do with myself. 🥹

Loved this series

I read this entire series and everyone in Henry Adams became my family. They kept me company in a very trying time in my life. I heard an interview with Ms. Jenkins and she said Amari was her favorite character. I agree. I fell in love with him probably in book 3. Please write more. I want to know what these kids do as they spread their wings and move to bigger cities.

I wish the series could go on forever!

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series. The love and historical facts made it a joy to read. I will miss the Blessings Series. Thsnk you Ms. Jenkins

Everything

I love this series, I have read all of them! I want to move to Henry Adam’s just so I could sit and listen and learn from Tamar!! Hang out with Bernadine and the ladies, watch the children grow into their future lives. Gonna miss them, but I can always go back to the beginning!! Thank You Ms Beverly Jenkins for taking us on this journey with you. Can’t wait to see what’s next

The ending
