Belle Palmer is finally free! Separated from her father on the harrowing escape, Belle is lost and alone until she finds shelter with the Bests, the first free family she's ever known. For the first time in her 16 years, Belle can speak her mind - except for her feelings for a certain dark-eyed young man - The Beau. Educated and handsome, at 18, Daniel Best is engaged to the prettiest girl around. So when the bedraggled girl his parents take under their wing suddenly turns into a vibrant, lovely young woman, his attraction to her is a complete - and complicated - surprise.

Josephine "Jojo" Best has it all figured out. Just 17, she's been to college, she has her own hairdressing shop, and nothing will distract her from her goals. That is, until handsome George Brooks begins to pursue her. Then the return of her childhood nemesis complicates her life even further. No girl is immune to Adam Morgan's charm. But when a wound brings him home from the War Between the States, it's a girl he used to call "Pest" who's turning the tables. All grown up, Jojo is being courted by another soldier, and Adam knows it would be foolish to play with her heart.

Publisher's Summary
NAACP nominee and USA Today best-selling author Beverly Jenkins continues her beloved Blessings series with a new heartwarming novel set in Henry Adams, Kansas.
Malachi “Mal” July has run into trouble in the past. With a reputation as a player, he’s now a recovering alcoholic and has made progress in redeeming himself in the eyes of his family and the citizens of Henry Adams, Kansas. He’s not only turned his diner into a profitable business, but also mentors the town’s foster kids. And he’s even staying true to one woman - Bernadine Brown.
But all it takes is a moment of pride to blind Mal to his blessings - a moment that makes him betray his friends and family, and lose Bernadine’s trust and love. Will he ever be able to win her forgiveness?
Meanwhile homecoming weekend is fast approaching, and store owner Gary Clark is reunited with his high school sweetheart. All it takes is a few minutes for them to realize the spark is still there, but is it too late for second chances?
A little help from the good people of Henry Adams may give both Mal and Gary the best second chance at the happiness they missed the first time around…

I love the blessings saga
The one before this was not the best , this one was better but shorter , i would have liked it to be a little longer ..... and like the previous book , I am not a fan of the narrator!!! Her voice was a little better , lisp gone but the male voices were horrible and super low .... I could not hear nor understand Mal half the time and he was a key character !!! Over all I did enjoy the book maybe this could be a show

Another Winner!!
Welp, I have to admit that I was way wrong on this one- I was so angry With Mal(and you too Ms Beverly)for what y'all did to Bernadine! And the thought of him showing his face again made me swear to not purchase another book in this series! However; the old saying is true" never say never"! My curosity got the better of me-well I am a resident of Henry Adams(in my mind- lol) so I had to see what happened.I won't spoil it- but let me say, I'm happy I did! Cudos, you brought it all home!
