Second Time Sweeter

A Blessings Novel

By: Beverly Jenkins

Narrated by: Lynnette R. Freeman

NAACP nominee and USA Today bestselling author Beverly Jenkins continues her beloved Blessings series with a new heartwarming novel set in Henry Adams, Kansas.

Malachi “Mal” July has run into trouble in the past. With a reputation as a player, he’s now a recovering alcoholic and has made progress in redeeming himself in the eyes of his family and the citizens of Henry Adams, Kansas. He’s not only turned his diner into a profitable business, but also mentors the town’s foster kids. And he’s even staying true to one woman—Bernadine Brown.

But all it takes is a moment of pride to blind Mal to his blessings—a moment that makes him betray his friends and family, and lose Bernadine’s trust and love. Will he ever be able to win her forgiveness?

Meanwhile Homecoming Weekend is fast approaching, and store owner Gary Clark is reunited with his high school sweetheart. All it takes is a few minutes for them to realize the spark is still there, but is it too late for second chances?

A little help from the good people of Henry Adams may give both Mal and Gary the best second chance at the happiness they missed the first time around…

Awful Reader!!

Great continuation of Henry Adams saga. Reader of last several books much better. Difficult to differentiate characters in this book because reader use same annoying voice for too m as many, e.g. all children s as Nd all females except Bernadine!!

The Village Works Together

The best moment is when Gary a d Corrie leave the cookout together.

The respect & love Henry Adam's residents mutually shared.

I like how believable the characters. The morals & values the adults consistently exhibited & instilled in their children.

Second Time Sweeter

I love this book and this author. With each installment, I wish there was a town or community like Henrietta. I hope it won't be a long wait for the next installment.

Great Story As Usual

This was a wonderful story as usual but I struggled to finish with this new narrator.
