Summer of Joy by Ann. H. Gabhart
For Jocie Brooke, the summer of 1964 certainly was eventful, but it's nothing
compared to what's coming to Hollyhill, Kentucky, and the Brooke family next.
The past is coming to call, threatening to destroy the relationships that
everyone thought were so strong. Two people--one thought to be gone for good
and the other no one's ever heard of--are making their way to the small town.
And it promises trouble for everyone.
Review:
Ann Gabhart spins a pleasing tale of family, love, and small
town life in Summer of Joy. Set in the 1960s while men go to Vietnam and the
Beetles sing about love, David balances work, a congregation and an eclectic
family. Leigh loves David and wants more than anything to join his lovable
clan.
Hollyhill is full of quirky and lovable characters layered
with lives of complication, compassion, and faith. I enjoyed meeting each one
and watching them bloom. Ann does an amazing job creating the people in this
small town. From young Jocie, the local archivist and wanna be journalist to
Zella, romance reader and top notch Christian, readers will love the entertaining
story lines as the folks are intertwined in each others’ lives. I enjoyed
stepping back in time to a slower pace. Grab a cup of coffee and slip into this
touching story, sprinkled with comedy and suspense.
