I love this series! This was such an emotional story for me. I think this one envokes emotion like the first book did. The things the children have been through before they come to Henry Adams brings tesrs to my eyes. Lucas and Jasmine are traveling through Henry Adams with their new adopted father when a tornado hits. When the terrifying storm passes; the kids are orphans again. They walk the road until Ms. Gemma drives by. The kids immediately feel safe with her and she decides to become their foster mother with Ms. Bernadine's help. It was so sad hearing the kids story. Mal and Ms. Bernadine argue about bringing a new restaurant to Henry Adams. Mal leaves town leaving Rocky and Ms. Bernadine in a pickle. Rocky is getting ready for her wedding to Jack. Tamar and the Oklahoma Julys plan a celebration of life for one of their relatives. Henry Adams is growing and expanding!
