After divorcing her faithless husband, Bernadine Brown put her newfound millions to good use reviving the small Kansas town of Henry Adams.

Chief among these, her former husband has rolled into town looking for a second chance.

Great story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this second installment of The Blessings series. The story line, the subplots, the characters, and the narration were addictive. I had to finish this book in less than two days because I couldn’t stop listening.

The good heartedness of the people and the blessings from community.

I love the characters and their stories are relatable. I feel like I know these people and I want to keep up with what they’re doing. On to book 3.

Blessings on Blessings

The story was good. The narrator did a good job, the story was just drawn out too long and the last chapter seemed rush.
