Story
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 return that fans of Kimberla Lawson Roby and Angela Benson and African American romance fans will certainly want to experience.

Teresa July has led a hard life, but now she has a chance to put her train-robbing past behind her. Armed with a new job as a cook to one of Philadelphia's elite families, Teresa is determined to start her life anew, and nothing - not even her boss' stuck-up (and far too handsome) son - is going to stand in her way. Madison Nance is sick of his mother taking in women from the wrong side of the tracks, just to see them turn on her generosity. That's why it's up to him to keep a close eye on Teresa's every move.

Outstanding!
This novel is such an outstanding listen that I purchased two of the other blessing novels. I have listened to all three at least two times each! I like the small Kansas town Bernadine Brown bought on eBay and turned it into a twenty priest century hotspot! I love all the characters even the ones who make me want to smack them. All of the adoptive children in this novel are precious and makes me wish there was a real life Bernadine Brown to rescue foster care children and give them a better chance in life. They stories are heartfelt and the characters make you want to live among them all! I really enjoyed this blessings novel.

Wonderful characters
I really enjoy Beverly Jenkins style of writing. The characters in these stories capture me. I struggled with the. Hangs in narration from the first story to this one. The style was so different it felt like listening to two different sets of characters. This is the reason for my 2 star performance. It was fine just not consistent with the previous book.

I can’t wait to see the movie version of this book! I hope Beverly Jenkins gets an offer to do so! It is for all who love a great story! I love that it’s for all age groups with very little profanity, when it is used, it funny and tastefully written without making one cringe from harsh language! I loved it and can’t wait to listen the next book in the series!
