NAACP nominee and USA Today bestselling author Beverly Jenkins celebrates her beloved Blessings series with a heartwarming novel set in Henry Adams, Kansas.“If you haven’t yet gotten your hands on [this] author’s work, you should do so immediately.”—ShondalandTamar July, town matriarch of Henry Adams, KS, is being haunted by dreams of her humiliating wedding day, sixty years ago, when she discovered her intended, Joel Newton, was already married. The truth left her furious, heartbroken, and carrying a child, her son Malachi “Mal” July. Why are these dreams coming to her now? And is the great horned owl perched on her backyard shed somehow connected? When Joel’s legitimate son comes to Henry Adams wanting to meet his half-brother, Mal, Tamar must deal with her past, her anger, and explore what it means to truly forgive.Tamar isn’t the only one being tested. Teenager Devon July wants to be anyone but himself. When he first arrived in Henry Adams, as an eight-year-old foster child, he wanted to be a preacher. Then, to be like his adopted brother, Amari. Now, he’s decided to be a variant of James Brown—wig included—rather than who he really is, a boy who lost his beloved grandmother and is the son of a mentally challenged woman. Will Tamar be able to guide his spirit quest and place him on the road to finally being at peace within himself?As the big August 1st celebration nears, town owner Bernadine Brown has a lot on her plate, chief among them, what to do with former mayor Riley Curry’s monstrous tribute to his hog Cletus. There are no secrets in Henry Adams, but there’s never a dull moment either.

Recensioner i media

“Each page in Jenkins’s unique series offers insight into human nature within a well written adventure. In Henry Adams, people are offered second chances and forgiveness, with a check on foolishness. Readers will wish they could live there.” — Booklist (starred review) for On the Corner of Hope and Main"Written with plenty of grace and just the right dash of grit, Calling All Blessings compassionately and compellingly explores everything that makes us human, including family, friends, faith, and forgiveness, all while at celebrating the power of community in our lives." — Booklist“Jenkins' signature heart and meticulous character-work gets a holiday boost of cheer in A Christmas to Remember.” — Entertainment Weekly“Jenkins’s characters come to vivid life, and the town is as well developed as those who live there... Henry Adams remains a place of faith where marriages deepen and relationships are mended. This is the best of the series so far.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) for On the Corner of Hope and Main"This storytelling is uplifting and engaging and proves it really does take a village." — Al Roker on Beverly Jenkins’s Blessings series
