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 turned his diner into a profitable business, and mentors the town’s foster kids. And he’s even staying true to one woman - Bernadine Brown.

Will he ever be able to win her forgiveness?

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.
