Bring on the Blessings (Blessings Series, 1)

Bestselling author Beverly Jenkins makes the move to trade paperback with this rich and moving story that introduces us to the beautiful Kansas town of Henry Adams, and the townspeople who make it unique

Bernadine Brown is a woman with money to spend. Henry Adams is a town in desperate need of cash. But after Bernadine puts up the money, she has some ideas about how the town should be run. Will the townspeople be willing to shake up their comfortable lives to share the gift they’ve been given with others who really need it?

One of the few all Black towns founded after Reconstruction, over a century later Henry Adams was falling apart. So Mayor Trenton July took a chance and put his town up for sale on the internet. With a new owner in town, and the ex mayor and his friends up in arms and doing everything they can to turn the deal on its head, will this be the death of Henry Adams...or its rebirth?

Read book 2 first and glad I went back to get the origins of how Bernadine ended up buying up Henry Adams, KS. The characters are truly loveable and heart-warming. The small-town setting is cozy and familiar. I love how the author weaves in history, music, and community into her writing. You become immersed in the story and do not want to put the book down.
