Not everyone in town wants to get on board though they don’t want change. When the buyer comes to town, he’s impressed by her vision, strength, and the hope she wants to offer not only to the town and its few remaining residents, but to a handful of kids in desperate need of a second chance. □□ Trent July is the mayor and watching the town of his birth slide into debt and foreclosure is about the hardest thing he’s ever done. The failing town had put itself up for sale on the Internet, so Bernadine bought it. The purpose turned out to be a town: Henry Adams, Kansas, one of the last surviving townships founded by freed slaves after the Civil War. Having been raised in the church, she knew that when much is given much is expected, so she asked God to send her a purpose. Nope, she hired herself a top-notch lawyer and ended up with a cool $275 million. □□ She was hurt-angry, too-but she didn’t cry woe is me. In the first book of the Blessings series by Beverly Jenkins, we follow along with Bernadine Brown as she decides how to move forward through her pain.
