Description
He lost his brother. She lost her dream. Together, they might find what they’re really looking for.
Holly Stanford is doing the best she can with the restaurant she inherited from her late uncle. But after her fiancé abandons her and the business, Holly regrets having given up her dream of becoming a pastry chef. Now a few bad financial decisions might cost her everything, including her hope for the future.
Jed Henning has done well with his new company despite his prodigal brother’s behavior. When Jed‘s father, the controlling member of the board of directors, temporarily suspends operations until his sons work out their differences, Jed resentfully chases his brother, Chris, to Boise. There Jed rents a basement apartment from Holly and hopes to convince Chris to get his act together before their company collapses.
Unaware that Holly is the one person who can help him get through to Chris, Jed starts the tough work of reconciliation armed with little more than a few family photographs, a stack of old letters, and a Bible that belonged to his great-grandfather, Andrew Henning. And as romance blossoms between Holly and Jed, the story of Jed’s great-grandfather highlights the power of God across the generations and the legacy of a family’s courageous faith.

HOW SWEET IT IS IS the third novel in the Legacy of Faith series by ROBIN LEE HATCHER. The three books form the Henning family saga, with Andrew Henning's family bible playing a big part in each one. I enjoyed the whole series immensely and suggest you read them in sequence, but each novel can be read as a stand alone.
By a strange twist of faith - or was it the working of the Holy Spirit? - Jed Henning ends up renting the tiny basement apartment, where his great grandparents, Andrew and Helen Henning, started their married life, from Holly Stanford.
Jed is a successful businessman, who has a bad relationship with his younger brother, Chris, and has come to Boise to find him. He begins to see the light when he stops seeing Chris as the prodigal son and starts to see himself as the prodigal son's older brother!
Holly also has a problem with relationships, having been left practically at the altar by her fiance. She has also been left to run Sweet Caroline's, which is not making any money.
There are two parallel stories - the one taking place in 1969 and the other in the present.
I love the way the author describes the characters' struggles - she really is a master of romantic fiction - and I also love the strong Christian message.
It is a most enjoyable read and one I can highly recommend.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
