A Second Helping: A Blessings Novel by Beverly Jenkins RAW Rating: 5.0 (out of 5) A SECOND HELPING: A Blessings Novel is the continuation about the residents, foster parents and their foster children of Henry Adams, KS. When we first met the residents in Bring on the Blessings, the town had financial hardships and was for sale on eBay. Mrs. Bernadine Brown, who was looking for a new beginning, purchased the town. When she arrived in town, she arrived with a vision to offer a home to children in need. With the town’s support her vision was in action; the foster parents and foster children had new families and homes in Henry Adams, KS and the adventures began. Now about a year later, Mrs. Brown and the residents, the foster parents and their foster children are more settled and the adventures are still continuing. They’re preparing to open a new school along with welcoming their new teacher and his son. While doing so, other patrons descend upon the town; some welcomed, some not so welcomed. The foster children are dealing with their own personal situations and with their foster parents and family’s love and support, they learn valuable lessons. Also revealed is the location of the town’s infamous resident and his beloved pig. Ms. Jenkins’s emotional storytelling brings the characters' stories to life. Their stories are told with reality, passion and depth. I constantly found my emotions stirred while reading. One moment I was laughing, the next I was crying, the next I was shaking my head and yes there were times when I was doing all of the above. Thank you, Ms. Jenkins for this blessings installment and I look forward to the next installment of blessings. If you choose to read it, which I hope you do, I recommend reading Bring on the Blessings before reading A SECOND HELPING: A Blessings Novel. Reviewed by , RAWSISTAZ.com © Copyright 2001-2008
