Beverly Jenkins continues her beloved Blessings series with
a heartwarming novel about what really makes a family.
There’s never a dull day in Henry Adams, Kansas.
Tamar July has never had a great relationship with certain
members of her family. In fact, she’d characterize it as a
“hate/hate relationship.” But when her cousin calls her with
the news that she’s dying and wants Tamar to plan the
funeral, she’s shocked but is willing to drop everything for
her.
After a horrendous storm, Gemma finds a young boy and his
little sister walking on the side of the road. She takes
them in, and quickly falls in love with the orphaned
siblings. But when Gemma contacts Social Services to try to
become their foster mother, she’s told a white woman cannot
foster African-American children.
In the midst of these trials, Jack and Rocky are trying to
plan their wedding. The entire town comes together to lend a
helping hand.
Though the residents of Henry Adams face seemingly
insurmountable obstacles, each of them will discover that
family comes in many forms, especially during the most
trying of times.
