Book Description
Keep the heart in Heart Lake. That's exactly what three small-town shop owners hope to do when they launch their crazy-ambitious "Have a Heart" campaign—asking neighbors to commit one random act of kindness every day. Emma, Sarah, and Jamie love their lakeside community, but the little town is growing too big too fast, and a doing a good deed never hurt anyone. Or so they thought... When Emma slashes prices at her quilt shop, practically giving away blankets to anyone who looks vaguely cold, she almost stitches her way into bankruptcy. Sarah's free cooking class boils down to a hotbed of crime when some punk kid swipes her favorite heirloom. And at Jamie's chocolate shop, things take a bittersweet turn when a local policeman starts giving her grief, stirring up feelings she's tried to forget—and slowly melts away her defenses... With irresistible humor, warmth, affection—and recipes!—author Sheila Roberts serves up a generous, open-hearted story about the friendships we make, the chances we take, and the lives we touch every day.

Its sights are now set on the latest household of Moraley’s as they cross the threshold into its malevolent clutches. Is their love strong enough to lead the House and its inhabitants back into the light?

Book Description
Uprooted from my comfort zone at about four to five years of age, I never got to experience a normal childhood. I was forced to live with a family member who treated me like next to nothing. Confused and seeking a way out of horrific conditions, I became acquainted with Jesus, and as the years passed me by, I learned that He was always a part of my life. No matter how dark things would get, He was always there to provide refuge. The day that Granny told me that I was everybody's black angel opened my young and still innocent eyes to the fact that I was hated by the one who was supposed to love me most. Not because I did anything wrong, but because I was favored and loved by God. Granny believed she had to break me the best she could, because she couldn't stop what God had growing inside of this young, powerful, and anointed vessel. This Black Angel was chosen. I was gifted. I was different. I was set aside for God's purposes at His appointed time. Granny did a number on me but she couldn't end what God had started.

Accidental Happiness
Author: Jean Reynolds Page
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345482115
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Someone once told me that groupings of objects should be displayed in threes. Three provides both tension and balance among items of varying size and heft. My sister’s accident made me an only child; my husband’s accident made me a widow. Part of me will always believe that Angel was the third, the one that left me with hope. After her husband’s unexpected death at the age of thirty-six, Gina Melrose becomes a “live-aboard” on his boat, docked at a marina in coastal South Carolina, near the home she and Ben once shared. In this temporary, borrowed existence on the water, she settles into numb survival. But Gina finds her life taking yet another dramatic turn late one night when a woman named Reese disrupts her quiet world. With Reese comes a daughter: a charming girl named Angel. After a rough start, Gina realizes that, strange as it may seem, she’s drawn to both Reese and Angel. Their sudden appearance shatters the stillness–and Gina is remade. She is fascinated by Reese, who seems both invincible and vulnerable–and whose past may hold the key to Gina’s future. Gina begins to realize that for the first time since Ben’s death, she’s getting her senses back. As both pain and joy reenter her world, Gina discovers that she is able to accept feeling in order to live fully once more. But the biggest surprise for Gina is her relationship with Angel. After the painful loss of her sister during childhood, Gina had decided that she would never have children of her own. Struggling through conflicted emotions, Gina’s finds her life unexpectedly transformed by the precocious little girl who may be Ben’s daughter. This tender, poignant novel movingly explores the bonds of family and the resilience of hope. In the accomplished tradition of the novels of Elizabeth Berg and Anita Shreve, Jean Reynolds Page’s Accidental Happiness is a lyrical, enthralling drama unafraid to examine complex relationships with a clear eye and an honest heart.
