Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-08 00:00:00 Chris Kol Did I say I was going to glom this series unstoppably? I am glomming this series unstoppably. Black American small town roman fleuve, which is to say soap opera in books, with joyous characters, buckets of love, just enough hard edges to make us fully enjoy all the good stuff. Pure escapism. I'm literally reaching the end of one and one-clicking the next.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-03 00:00:00 Vicky Schulz Such a good fun read. A little beyond the real, but so full of warm hearted characters in a small town who support each other, and where they weed out those there to cause trouble. Why? I fell in love with the small town in the first book in the series Blessings by Beverly Jenkins. Plot The book takes up the stories of the various children who have been fostered. Amari wants to join the July family as a fully fledged member and must undergo a spirit journey. Preston is worried his foster parents might split, Crystal is turning into everyone's counsellor. A new teacher turns up in town with Eli who has an attitude which doesn't wash in this town. What Appeals to Me? This book is so warm hearted and the characters so loveable and the story lines are heart warming. They are a little beyond the real, but it is if everything was in an ideal world, and who wouldn't go for that. It is full of humour, plus characters face challenges and grow... or leave town one way or the other. It was a sit down and relax read almost done in a day kind of book. And so... I've ordered book #3 in the series Something Old, Something New.
