How Sweet It Is | Book Review + Giveaway


ABOUT THE BOOK


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 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.

MY REVIEW

In this third Legacy of Faith novel, Andrew Henning’s story concludes, while another one of his descendents grapples with life and love.

Begrudgingly in search of his brother, Jed Henning heads to Boise, which allows him a chance to get to know Holly Stanford. She may be just the person he needs in his life to understand not only his brother, but also the broader story of his family and the legacy he has been left. Jed, in turn, may be just the person Holly needs to confront the losses of the past and see the future with new hope.

How Sweet It Is is a sweet story from Robin Lee Hatcher indeed (even though the cover had me expecting more baking and delicious treats, so I was a tad disappointed in that regard). As romance and understanding grow, the present timeline complements Andrew’s one in the past to deliver a valuable message about trusting God through the good and the bad. Readers who have enjoyed the Legacy of Faith thus far are sure to enjoy this book; it is a satisfying conclusion.
