Delightful reading

This is a down to earth book about a family that feels as real as any family in a small town. It is funny and sweet, with just enough suspense and crisis to keep it interesting. I recommend reading the other books in the series, Scent of Lilacs and Orchard of Hope, but you could read this book without reading the others first, because it stands alone as a story all its own. Ann H. Gabhart is a writer that knows how real people think and feel. This is just a delightful book.

Deftly written and intriguing story

A small Kentucky town on the verge of joy may collapse into the verge of chaos. "Summer of Joy" is the story of David Brooke, a man trying to find the courage to pop the question to his longtime lover, and his small Kentuckian hometown. The past is returning to bite David in the rear, drama and chaos coming with it in this deftly written and intriguing story by accomplished author Ann. H. Gabhart. Highly recommended to fiction and romance shelves everywhere.

Great Story

I loved this book just as much as the others, however, it would also be good as a stand alone. There's humor, romance, mystery, drama as well as good spiritual advice all tied into one book. Ann is a wonderful author and all of her books are good reading. If you have read the first two series you will definitely want to read this one as well.
