He lost his brother. She lost her dream. Together, they might find what they’re really looking for.
Holly Stanford is doing the best she can with the restaurant she inherited from her late uncle. But after her fiancé abandons her and the business, Holly regrets having given up her dream of becoming a pastry chef. Now a few bad financial decisions might cost her everything, including her hope for … everything, including her hope for the future.
Jed Henning has done well with his new company despite his prodigal brother’s behavior. When Jed‘s father, the controlling member of the board of directors, temporarily suspends operations until his sons work out their differences, Jed resentfully chases his brother, Chris, to Boise. There Jed rents a basement apartment from Holly and hopes to convince Chris to get his act together before their company collapses.
Unaware that Holly is the one person who can help him get through to Chris, Jed starts the tough work of reconciliation armed with little more than a few family photographs, a stack of old letters, and a Bible that belonged to his great-grandfather, Andrew Henning. And as romance blossoms between Holly and Jed, the story of Jed’s great-grandfather highlights the power of God across the generations and the legacy of a family’s courageous faith.

How Sweet It Is by Robin Lee Hatcher is a superb conclusion to what has been one of my favorite Hatcher series. I found the storyline compelling, and it, too, is a book I just could not put down. I enjoyed Holly and Jed’s journey to romance. I found their friendship-to-romance relationship very realistic especially considering the issues that Holly has to overcome. I was so excited to get back to Andrew and Helen Henning’s romance. In book three, we get the conclusion to their great love story, and what an exceptional ending it is! How Sweet It Is really pulled at my heartstrings. I chuckled a little and cried quite a bit. Overall, How Sweet It Is is a wonderful Inspirational Romance that will stick with me long after the final page has been read.
Holly Stanford is a woman who has A LOT on her plate. She deals with residual negative feelings and insecurities from her fiance leaving her. She deals with her failing restaurant business. She deals with her house that needs serious repairs and upgrades. She deals with a near-empty bank account. Holly is running on empty fumes and has very little left to give! In order to protect her heart from the world and men, Holly has built a solid steel wall around it and has decided that from now on she will shoulder every burden that comes her way alone. I have to admit that Holly is so well-written, I was exhausted for her! I may have internally screamed at her to take a break. LOL! What broke my heart the most about Holly is how much of her I see in myself. I, too, take on EVERYTHING. Yes, a lot of this stems from feeling too much and experiencing a ton of hurt and building metaphorical walls around my heart just as Holly does. Like Holly, I kick everyone out and do my best to do everything I can perfectly, but in the end, I take on too much and I burn out and I blow up. There is a moment in the story where Holly takes a day off from her life and I burst into tears. I’ve never felt so relieved for a fictional character before. But, honestly, Holly’s story was super good for me to read. I needed the reminder that I cannot do everything on my own. I have to trust and I have to ask for help because if I don’t the only person who will be hurt at the end of the day will be myself.
There is just too much goodness in How Sweet It Is and the Legacy of Faith series for any one review to do them justice. I highly, highly recommend this book and its series. If you love well-written, unique, and endearing Inspirational, dual-timeline Romances then How Sweet It Is and the Legacy of Faith series are the books you need to read now!
A Recommendation — While each novel in this series can be read as standalone, I HIGHLY recommend reading these books in sequential order. In my honest opinion, the best part of this series is Andrew’s and Helen’s 40-year romance. But, it is told in three parts spanning the three different books in this series. If you read out of order, you will understand the piece of their relationship as it relates to the book you are reading, but you will miss out on the nuances and the history that comes from reading the story as a whole in three parts.
I received a copy of this novel in eBook form from the publisher, Thomas Nelson, via NetGalley in order to review. In no way has this influenced my review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
Jed Henning, owner of a computer gaming company, has had a falling out with his brother, the creator of the games. Their dad, who controls operations, tells Jed he must work things out with his brother or the company will be shut down.
Holly Stanford, a promising baker, has had to put her dream on hold after her fiancé left her deep in debt and with a restaurant to run on her own. She is trying to make ends meet and stay positive by renting her basement apartment and teaching cooking classes to women from a local shelter.
Jed ends up in Boise renting the same place Andrew and Helen Henning started their married life in from Holly. Holly not only brings love into his life, but unknowingly a way to reach his brother. Jed goes to visit his cousin, Ben, at Harmony Barn and Ben decides it is time to pass Andrew’s Bible to Jed to help with the reconciliation.
How Sweet It Is, Book 3 of Legacy Of Faith, by Robin Lee Hatcher, is a good and sad conclusion to this series. I liked the way the author wrapped each story up in the same way. Holly and Jed were a great couple. I enjoyed Andrew’s story more in this book as it became more focused on him and the farm again. The ending was sweet, although heartbreaking at times, and continued to be full of faith.
I purchased a paperback copy of this book.
Will their faith see them though?
I picked up How Sweet It Is with a touch of trepidation. You see, as I’ve read Robin Lee Hatcher’s A Legacy Of Faith series I’ve come to love the Henning Family, especially Andrew, and I knew this was the final book. I knew I’d have to say goodbye to characters who have become friends. And I just didn’t want to. But…I couldn’t NOT read it either.
As with the previous books in the Legacy Of Faith series Robin Lee Hatcher presents a sweet romance combined with the reality of the messiness of family. The biggest mine fields often involve family. They can love us the best and hurt us the most. We also frequently have the biggest misconceptions about those closest to us.
As much as I enjoyed the romance between Holly and Jed, the slow journey to reconciliation between Jed and his brother, and the way Holly gives of herself to a group of young women, it was still the sections with Andrew that I most looked forward to. Across three books he’s gone through tragedy and triumph from young manhood to retirement age. He has faced each struggle with love and a faith that is to be admired.
Needless to say, I did enjoy How Sweet It Is. It was just as wonderful, and bittersweet, as its predecessors. It is very much a book that you shouldn’t miss…
(I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)
Thank you in advance to the publisher, Thomas Nelson/TNZ Fiction, for providing an advanced review copy through Prism Book Tours. A positive review was not required or requested and all words are my own.
This is the first book I’ve read by author Robin Lee Hatcher. And, it is a wonderful, sweet, darling, inspirational, and beautifully written story for the most part. The short chapters make it an extremely quick read. I had read over 100 pages the first day. And, the only reason I put it down was to make notes for the review and head to bed for the evening.
The only hiccup, this being an ARC, was at the end of chapter 21, with a scene transition and what seemed to be missing words or an entire missing scene. That was a bit hard to understand where it was going or came from. I’m sure in the finished text it is different though.
I loved the premise of this – Jed losing his brother and Holly losing her dream, together they try to find what they’re looking for.
This is the third book of the “A Legacy of Faith” series. Told in third person; the POV changes from present day with Holly and Jed, to 1969 with great-grandpa Andrew’s story. The 1969 parts are always at the end of the chapter and in different font (at least in this ARC). From what I understand, the Andrew story line starts in the previous two novels and continues/ ends here. Having not read the other two novels, it seemed the “flashback” was a bit unrelated to this particular story. I did enjoy reading about the past as my mom graduated in 1969.
This is definitely a clean read which is devoid of intimate references as well as offensive language.
I understood Jed’s father and his position in wanting to get Jed to reconcile with his brother Chris or lose their business. However, I felt it was wrong to ask Jed and was relieved when his father finally softened. Jed’s father seemed to place the blame on Jed, and using the business as “collateral” was not something I thought was appropriate. Though the “why” of the Jed/Chris discord never does come out, or it is so subtle I missed it.
Jed is finding it hard to fix something that he didn’t know why it was broken or how it broke. And, that I think is common in a lot of relationships – trying to fix what broke but not knowing the how or why of it. That was something I could definitely relate to, and I am sure others can relate to it as well.
It is in going through family photos and great-grandpa’s bible that Jed begins to understand the family and tries to rely on faith to led him to try to reconcile with Chris in a different way. Through great-grandpa Andrew, Jed learns there is a purpose for suffering as well as trying to find the joy in life. However, it is leading him closer to Holly.
Holly has her own issues – a struggling restaurant she inherited, her baking dreams that are passing by, a failed engagement, and the cooking classes for the women in the shelter.
Jed and Holly seemed a bit mis-matched, but watching them navigate the relationship was sweet. And, while I understood Holly’s hesitation, it did seem to undermine the “happily ever after” theme.
The cover depicts a happy couple, baking in a kitchen. And, this honestly didn’t happen in the story. So, I feel a bit let down by the cover. The title is taken from an oldies song “How Sweet it Is”, and to me the story didn’t seem to quite measure up with their story line seemingly ending abruptly.
The reveal about Willow’s son, AJ, was quite a shock and I wasn’t sure how to take that bit of information. It was an interesting plot twist and I was in the “saw that, but didn’t see it” mindset. It made sense, and yet it was still shocking.
It is through Holly that Jed learns to practice grace when reaching out to Chris.
To me, the end came up a bit short – there was a cliché ending with two of the characters (Chris and Willow), and I would’ve liked more of a story with them – how did they meet, what happened, what was Chris’ deal with his issues. Were he and Willow really in love? I honestly felt that the ending was rushed, albeit it was an adorable ending. I am glad to see that Holly was going to give love another chance, especially with Jed.
I would’ve liked to have known how some of the shelter women faired. Perhaps they will get their own stories in a different series down the road.
There were quite a few historical and well known references from 1969 in this novel. The references of the events are mentioned in a December 31, 1969 “entry” – Chappaquiddick, Sharon Tate’s murder, Hurricane Camille, and the My Lai massacre in Vietnam.
These did make me think about the balance in this story of faith and redemption with the evil atrocities committed, but it did seem a bit sad (if not depressing) for the tone of the novel. I really did enjoy reading the book over all. However, there were a lot of questions I had along with wanting a bit more in it.
Distributed through Thomas Nelson, a Christian/Faith themed publisher; this has biblical references, the characters attend church, there are messages of second chances, grace, and redemption. The messages are a huge part of the story. They are perhaps the best part of the book. The flashback and the current day story do accomplish one caveat – how much we have changed from our grandparents and even our parents.
The biggest message I loved from this book was in practicing grace when dealing with family and friends when it comes to conflicts and reconciliation.
Readers of the previous books in the series as well as fans of the author will more than likely enjoy this story.
3 1/2 stars
This was a sweet romance. I liked the chemistry between Holly and Jed. It did take me some time to get invested in the side story of Jed’s great-grandfather. I was touched by it, but did feel like there was a disconnect between the two stories overall.
Holly was once bitten, twice shy when it came to commitment. I liked how Jed worked hard to earn her trust. Her personality was also a good balance to Jed’s particularly when it came to his feelings toward his brother. She helped him overcome his anger. Full review is at my website.
I received this book complimentary as a participant of the Prism book tour. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed are my own.
When you pick up a Robin Lee Hatcher book you know it’s going to be good!
When I finished reading Ben and Ashley’s story, I thought that was the end so I was pleasantly surprised to see this one.
Hatcher has done a nice job in tying the past with the present together once again.
I think what fascinated me the most about this book was that Andrew and Helen were able to live to see all of these historical events! How wonderful would it have been to see things like that! Imagine how many generations can live in one house too! I love historical homes.
In the present we really don’t see much changing because in my opinion it’s already happened. I think that’s why I’d love to travel back in time to see all of these wonderful events and maybe just maybe get to meet Neil Armstrong.
While reading Andrew and Helen’s part of the story I felt like I re-learned a few medical terminology that I had forgotten about.
Andrew is my favorite character so I was glad to see him return in this novel. I liked him because he was strong in his faith even when things in his life were going wrong he turned to the Lord for his needs. I know that had to have been hard to do because it is for me. I’m trying to do better. I’ve even been trying to keep a daily journel.
Jeb was another story altogether. So much anger and hatred! Wow! I felt that coming through the pages of the book!
They say that Jeb’s a handsome man but looks really aren’t everything. In my opinion, it’s what is in the heart is what really counts and of course it’s what God really looks at too.
But, you know I really ended up liking him. I’m not going to say why because I don’t want to give the story away!
Holly was a sweet lady. Poor thing really struggled!
In different circumstances there were times when I wanted to sit and cry or just give up but of course I didn’t.
As you read this book my hope is that you’ll see what this references to. I figured it out right away where this was going but again Hatcher has done such an amazing job.that she’ll make you think twice. She did me.
I finished this book last night. I finished it 4 am in the morning. I just didn’t want to put it down..
I wanted to see if Jeb could work out his problems with his brother. I found myself rooting for them.
This is the third book in the series and I think, think it’s the last. But, we’ll see.
Also, there are some Bible verses that written throughout this book and I actually looked up a couple and a few I had memorized from going to church myself.
Bibles are special. They are God’s word and I especially liked this one because each family member that received it treasured it always.
I know I did mine! I have my grandpa’s and there are a bunch of names that are written in there. I like that.
Anyway, I highly recommend this book because you’ll not want to put it down until you finish. This book will leave you feeling full and satisfied after a good read. Kind of like a wonderful dessert
My thanks to Netgalley and Thomas Nelson publishing for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review and all opinions are mine.
How Sweet It Is By Robin Lee Hatcher is book 3 in the Legacy of Faith series. This book is such a sweet, inspiring novel. I especially loved its themes of reconciliation and second chances. Readers of Christian romance will adore this book. Ms Hatcher is a wonderful author. I think this is the perfect summer or beach read. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.
This is a first for me from this author and I really liked this story. I am happy I can go back to read the other books in this series too.
This story starts out in the present with Jed Henning trying to figure out how to get his younger brother Chris to talk to him and how they can get back to being brothers. Instead of always fighting. When Jed goes to visit cousins, he is given old family photos, letters, and his great-grandfather’s Bible. As with most Bibles, there are notes, passages marked, and anything Andrew (his great grandfather) would want to find easily. Jed learns a lot from reading those passages and looking at those old photos and letters. It is about finding himself and learning to trust in himself, and his brother. There is a lot to love about this story, I especially love the time going back to visit with Andrew and Helen, in this book the time is 1969-1970 and it is bittersweet.
“I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.”
Despite the fact that the blurb does not refer to it, this is a distinctly Christian sentiment, which I do not read. As a Christian Romance goes, I found it to be just okay but I would recommend it to people who enjoy this genre.
I would like to thank the author and publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
As soon as I picked up the book I thought it would be a story that mixed a little emotion and a little bit of laughter but I started to see the inspiration in the Parable of the Prodigal Son and I realized how it would be more emotional.
Jed is a workaholic who has always had serious fights with his irresponsible little brother. Now the brother is gone and nobody knows where he went and his father wants Jed to drop everything to find out what’s going on with Chris.
Jed then leaves in search of his brother and ends up meeting the sweet Holly, a confectioner who is heartbroken after the betrayal of her ex fiance and this unexpected encounter ends up changing their lives.
At first, I was irritated with the father’s way of acting with the two brothers, supporting the irresponsible and scolding the other one. As the story progressed, Jed’s reading of his great-grandfather’s diary somewhat eased the anger I felt towards his father, yet I still thought that the writer could have better developed the meeting of the brothers and the union with the father.
The romance is good and sweet just like the title.
3/5 stars
TThis book is a sweet and likeable dual-timeline story about trusting and hoping in God no matter our circumstances in life.
The present timeline follows Jed Henning, who’s forced to reconcile with his brother or his dad, who owns the controlling share of his company, will shut it down. While trying to find his brother in Boise, he rents an apartment from Holly, a woman struggling with the loss of her dreams and trusting others as well as herself. As they begin to spend time together and confide in each other, they begin to wonder if pursuing a relationship is worth the risk. In the historic timeline, Andrew Henning, Jed’s great-grandfather, faces major life changes in his old age and must decide to trust God in his circumstances.
Admittedly, I didn’t connect to this story as much as I would like and I could easily put it down – in no hurry to finish. However, it was still an enjoyable read. I really liked the characters and thought they were relatable and easy to empathize with. I also loved the wisdom and spiritual truth smoothly interwoven throughout the story; it was definitely my favorite part.
Although How Sweet It Is can be read as a standalone, I think it reads better as part of a series, in order. This novel is the first book I’ve read in this series and, even though this story is complete and has no loose ends, I had a feeling a lot of plot points in Andrew Henning’s life from the previous books were revealed in this story.
Also, the connection between the two timelines seemed very thin to me at times; despite the fact that Jed is gifted Andrew Henning’s bible and the overall theme of the book can apply to both timelines, the stories often felt disjointed to me.
Lastly, the ending kind of threw me a bit. Although the happy ending for the characters wasn’t entirely surprising, it felt rushed and I wished there was more story to provide a smoother transition into the conclusion.
All in all, this book was a pleasant, albeit slow, read for me.
*I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
SWEET! How Sweet It Is by Robin Lee Hatcher is a sweet book. I gobbled it all up and you might too. I found this book very refreshing. I didn’t know this was Christian fiction when I chose it to read. I loved it!
There was a Bible that had been passed down and there were passages and notes written from the great grandfather who originally owned the Bible. They seemed to be just what the young man needed to put his life on track. There were reminders to listen to God and He would always be there. You would never be alone. I think there were a lot of messages in this story that I needed to be reminded of during this time of the pandemic.
I loved that the characters were so down to earth. They were good Chrstian people struggling to live the good life. They came from several walks of life and all were trying to do better. I really felt a kinship with these folks.
This book is number 3 in The Legacy of Faith series.. They are stand alone novels. How Sweet It Is was my first Robin Lee Hatcher book and i can promise you I will be looking at reading more from her. I felt so encouraged when I closed this book. Don’t we all need encouragement?
I received a copy of this book from the publisher for a fair and honest review.
I’ve read other books by this author and knew that I already enjoyed other of her books so I wasn’t surprised that this was also one I enjoyed reading. Her books are clean, sweet romances with a message of hope and goodness. She deals with real life situations and some of the ugly of life but there is always hope and peace in her stories.
Jed was a workaholic and to his ultimate frustration, his dad had given him an ultimatum; find your brother, Chris, and kiss and make up or he would lose the business he had worked so hard for. Jed was angry and tired of his lazy brother. Why couldn’t he just move on without his dad’s interference?
Holly had been devastated by her fiancé who had left her holding a bag of regrets and debts. She didn’t think she would ever be able to trust another man with her heart. Then Jed shows up and the walls around her heart begin to crumble. Is it worth the risk to her heart? Could she trust a man that seemed almost too good? Was there something she just wasn’t seeing that would devastate her once again?
These were good people that needed a little push to get all the wonderful things they really wanted. The characters were well developed and the story seemed genuine and real. I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review.
This book definitely touched my heart and was the first book that made me cry in a long time. There were so many things to like about it. Jed learned so much about his family history through the photos, letters, and Bible that he was given; and in turn, it helped him look at his life and his brother in a totally different way through his increased faith. Holly was carrying so much hurt which caused her to not trust men and not have much self-confidence. As she and Jed connected, she grew in confidence, her ability to trust, and her faith. The relationship between Andrew and Helen the grandparents was so touching as they both dealt with issues of growing older and loss.
I do wish there had been a little more about Chris, Jed’s brother, and how he found his way back to the family as well as how the family became one again.
This book was a beautiful conclusion to the Legacy of Faith series.
**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions are mine alone. I was not compensated for this review.
A Legacy of Faith series by Robin Lee Hatcher ties all the characters together with a family Bible. I have my grandfather’s old pulpit Bible and a couple of my Daddy’s Bibles. It is really neat to go back and see their thoughts on certain Scripture. I have three Bibles that I do most of my studying out of. I have three boys. I have written notes in each one for each individual child. Each boy will own one of the three boys with all my notes in them. I plan to pass them down to them as a legacy too. But Hatcher’s stories is a Bible that is passed down to help the grandchildren as they have lost their way from the Lord. The romance is sweet. Just like contemporary romances’ fans enjoy. The predictable ending occurs, but it was a nice journey to see how the heroine and hero fall in love and overcome obstacles. As for the cover, I’m usually not a fan of white covers because there is so much dead space, but for some reason, I really like this cover. The yellow on her apron matches the yellow in the title and looks nicely done. I think fans of Hatcher and contemporary romance authors like Courtney Walsh, Kara Issac, or Becky Wade might enjoy this novel too.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
How Sweet It Is is a very sweet story! I loved getting to know Holly and Jed and watching their characters develop as the plot progressed. Both characters had complicating issues in their life and we definitely not looking for a relationship. My heart went out to Jed as he tried contacting his brother, but the way Ms. Hatcher weaves their difficult lives into the story shows us a lot about ourselves and how issues like this can happen in families. It also shows Redemption through is only through our God, but again, the writing talents of Ms. Hatcher adds this in a subtle way that just fits so well with the story.
I have read many of Robin Lee Hatcher’s books and love them all, and was excited to read and review this one. There is so much in this story, twists and turns that surprise you, making it a wonderful and entertaining read. If you enjoy a good clean Christian fiction, you don’t want to miss How Sweet It Is. Because Jed and Holly’s story truly is a really sweet story.
A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story! I felt the characters were relatable and had some definite struggles to work through. I really appreciated that neither of the main characters did that perfectly. But continued to pray, try, struggle, repeat. And slowly they grew and matured. I loved the characters of Andrew and Helen. Their connection and marriage was a delight to read! How Sweet It Is is the first book of this author’s that I’ve read, so I’m definitely looking forward to going back and reading the first two books in this series!

A story of hope and trust
How Sweet It Is is indeed a sweet story of faith.
I loved how Holly, in the midst of the pain over the loss of her fiancé, reached out to the women in the local shelter, caring for them and teaching them life skills. She was so fun, too, with her ’60s music that she baked (and danced!) to. Poor Holly had such a hard time trusting.
Enter Jed. Jed was very much the older brother in the story of the Prodigal Son. Though instead of staying home, his father sent him out to find Chris and restore the relationship they once had. Through his frustrations, and mostly through his searching the pages of his great-grandfather’s Bible, he turned his heart back to the Lord.
As sweet as the budding relationship between Holly and Jed was, the old and still very comfortable romance between Andrew and his long-time bride Helen was even sweeter! As Andrew came face-to-face with his mortality, he had to learn to lean on the Lord even more than ever.
Lovers of more serious stories with the light of faith shining through will want to be sure to read How Sweet It Is. And while it easily stands alone, it builds on the events of the previous books of the Legacy of Faith series, so you’ll want to be sure to read them as well.
Read my review of How Sweet it is by Robin Lee Hatcher at AmongTheReads.net
I was given a copy of this book. I was not required to give a favorable review nor was any money received for this review. All comments and opinions are my own.
In the final book in Robin Lee Hatcher’s Legacy of Faith, we get to spend time with two more of Andrew Henning’s progeny plus catch up with Ben and Ashley from Cross My Heart.
I appreciated the organic progression of Holly and Jed’s romance. Yes, there is interest there from the beginning but these two know right from the start their paths are leading in different directions. It takes some heart changes and revelations before either of them is ready to name what is brewing between them. And while Holly is stuck in the past for much of the book, Jed’s journey moves more quickly as he studies his great-grandfather’s Bible.
Woven throughout is the continuation of Jed Henning’s walk of faith and the impact that has on his ancestors years later. What a legacy to leave your family.
How Sweet It Is has some light-hearted moments that made me smile and some tougher moments that had me reaching for the tissues. Throughout the book, the message of the power, importance, and comfort of spending time digging into God’s word and building a strong relationship with Him rings through. This is an excellent end to the series, and like the author, I am sad to say goodbye to Andrew and his descendants.
Disclosure statement: I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
A mission of reconciliation, discovery of family history, and a chance at love.
I was thrilled to get the chance to catch up yet again with the Hennings as Andrew and Helen navigate the challenges of aging, meanwhile in the present their great grandson Jed struggles to find himself and rebuild family ties. Jed has worked non-stop the last few years to make his brother’s vision a reality, taking little time for himself or personal relationships. I admired Jed for his level headed approach to things, he takes responsibility, and is a natural leader.
Holly is struggling to make ends meet, while dreaming of a future doing what she loves. I loved her heart for others and how she loves to share what she has with others, even when her life is far from perfect.
I loved returning to the Hennings family as this book continues to follow Andrew and Helen decades previous, while also catching up with their descendants in the present. The dual timelines are well written and compliment each other well. I loved the themes of faith and commitment, as Jed takes time to consider things he hasn’t had time for the in the past. A heartwarming and enjoyable read about family, faith, new opportunities and lasting love.
