This is the 3rd book in the Millwood Hollow series. But you don?t need to read the series, as each book stands alone. The other two books being ?Fallen Angel? and ?Nazareth?s Song?. The book is historical/fiction with just a touch of romance. Our story takes place in Nazareth, Arkansas as Jeb Nubley the town banjo player former liar and ex-convict is the pastor of Church in the Dell. The town has seemed to all but forgotten Jeb?s past as things have calmed down and Jeb has settled in raising the 3 Welby children ? Angel, Willie and Ida May. Jeb has even finally won the heart of his sweetheart Fern Coulter. But soon the quiet erupts as in the middle of the night a small bundle of a baby is left on his doorstep. The problem being this is no ordinary bundle of joy as it is a black baby. Since this story takes place during the depression we see how fast the town turns against the minister of Church in the Dell. Oddly as quickly as the baby was dropped off the pastor of the black church in Hope, the nearby town drops off a young girl, Lucky to help out. Jeb knows there?s a connection between the baby and the young girl but she?s not talking. So Jeb sets out to solve the mystery of baby Myrtle and Lucky while trying to hold the family together against the hatred towards him and Fern and the children as they all stand united to give the two the proper home they so desperately need. Jeb tries to change the town?s hearts and minds. As his friendship with Louie, the pastor from the church in Hope, grows all are taught lessons of God?s love beyond measure. The end of the story has its ups and downs with sadness and joy, but in the end - everyone must read for themselves, as this story does not end as expected. Reading this book will make you desire to read the other two books ?Fallen Angel?, and ?Nazareth?s Song?. After you read this book I?m sure you?ll be like more me wanting and waiting for more books to come. But for now enjoy this book, as it is a page-turner must read for lovers of historical/fiction that can?t be put down and a definite reread and read again.
