NAACP nominee and USA Today bestselling author
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.
