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.

My thoughts:
How Sweet It Is the third book in the Legacy of Faith Series by Ms. Hatcher and I will say that it truly is a sweet, endearing novel. I absolutely adore a dual timeline and the author certainly had me engaged in the family saga from start to finish.
I was most interested in the lives of Andrew and Helen but soon found myself equally interested in the life of their great grandson, Jed especially after he rented an apartment from Holly Stanford.
The family drama is front and center in the lives of Jeb and his brother Chris, but a good family drama is interesting, at times sad but adds such depth and layers to a storyline and this story has that and more. Mixed with family history and faith, add a sweet romance and you have the perfect
blend of a wonderful, touching novel that will leave you with a warm, happy feeling.
Overall, I thought this book was beautifully crafted with charming characters and one that will make you cry at times and one that will stay with you after you have finished reading it. I received a copy from the publisher. All opinions are completely my own.
