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?
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"[Jenkins] weaves together exhilarating plots with complex and larger-than-life characters that draw you into the story." - Romantic Times BOOKreviews
"Beverly Jenkins charms in a way that only she can with this heartwarming story of love, community, and family. She giftwraps her tale artfully with spatterings of places and people from her beloved historical novels. I was enchanted to read about present-day Henry Adams and to visit with descendants of Chase and Cara Lee from Night Song, Neil and Olivia July from Something Called Love, and Dix and Kate Wildhorse from Topaz. Bring on the Blessings is a tasty reading confection that you'll savor long after the story ends." - Angela Benson, Essence bestselling author of Up Pops the Devil and The Amen Sisters
"A story like non other, and done in a way that only Beverly Jenkins can do. Simply superb!" - Brenda Jackson, New York Times bestselling author
