By Ann H. Gabhart
As summer draws to a close Jocie’s world seems serene–but is it just the calm before a storm?
Unbeknownst to Jocie Brooke and her family, two people are making their way to the small town of Hollyhill, Kentucky. One everyone thought was gone for good and the other no one’s ever heard of. Still, one thing is sure–they promise trouble. The past is coming to call, threatening to destroy strong relationships that everyone has simply taken for granted.
The summer of 1964 may be winding down, but the controversy in this little community where nothing ever seems to change is just heating up.
Bestselling author Ann Gabhart invites you to Hollyhill for a story both exciting and enduring that will stick with you long after you turn the last page.
SUMMER BREEZES
Back to Hollyhill and all the mostly loveable people in the community. I’ve really grown attached to the Brookes and their extended family.
Josie is a young teen trying to come to grips with changes in her life and the emotions they evoke. Surprise visitors to Hollyhill stir up confusion and rock the boat. One of her cranky teachers doesn’t help matters. He managed to interfere in her life even after school is out for the summer.
This book is a good stand alone read, but it’s even better if you’ve read Scent Of Lilacs and Orchard Of Hope first.
Ms Gabhart, please keep bringing us books about Hollyhill.
