Books like Bring on the blessings by Beverly Jenkins
Bernadine Brown’s 52nd birthday is marked by a painful revelation—her husband Leo is cheating with his secretary. Instead of wallowing, she hires a top lawyer and secures a multimillion‐dollar settlement. Raised in the church, Bernadine believes that abundance brings responsibility, so she prays for purpose. The purpose arrives in the form of Henry Adams, Kansas, a dwindling town owned by freed slaves after the Civil War. When the town is listed for sale online, Bernadine buys it. Mayor Trent July watches his hometown slip into debt and foreclosure, and his efforts to keep it afloat are a personal struggle. Bernadine’s vision and strength impress him, and together they aim to preserve the town’s legacy while fostering a fresh future for its few remaining residents and a group of kids in need of a second chance. Not all townsfolk welcome change, yet Bernadine, Trent, and Trent’s first love Lily Fontaine are determined to bring hope to Henry Adams and honor its unique past.
