Summer of Joy by Ann H. Gabhart Book Review

About

As summer draws to a close Jocie's world seems serene--but is it just the calm before a storm?
Unbeknownst to Jocie Brooke and her family, two people are making their way to the small town of Hollyhill, Kentucky. One everyone thought was gone for good and the other no one's ever heard of. Still, one thing is sure--they promise trouble. The past is coming to call, threatening to destroy strong relationships that everyone has simply taken for granted.

The summer of 1964 may be winding down, but the controversy in this little community where nothing ever seems to change is just heating up.

Bestselling author Ann Gabhart invites you to Hollyhill for a story both exciting and enduring that will stick with you long after you turn the last page.

My Review:

I did not read the first two books in this series, however I had no problem connecting with the characters. What a great religious message and what a great family. Through God and family, anything is possible. I was impressed with the range of emotions I felt in this book. I was worried, happy, sad, and there were times that I laughed so loud my hubby gave me a weird look. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
