Bring on the Blessings Bring on the Blessings by Beverly Jenkins

Gypsy's review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book. For me the storyline carried the book. I recommend this book for anyone who aspires to leave a legacy by changing the world. If this doesn't describe you, I'm not sure you will appreciate Bring on the Blessings.

Except for Donna Hill and Brenda Jackson, I don't usually read romance novels, so Beverly Jenkins is a new author for me. I will most likely read her work again. As a Black History Buff, I love her inclusion of information about African Americans going West in the late 1800s. As a certified "do-gooder" the lofty goal of Bernadine Brown spoke to me on a very basic level.

I hope that Ms. Jenkins continues the story of Henry Adams and its residents, because the book left me wondering how everything would workout. After Reading the book, I also felt energized and ready to make a difference in my own little corner of the world.
