He lost his brother. She lost her dream. Together, they might find what they’re really looking for.

Holly Stanford is doing the best she can with the restaurant she inherited from her late uncle. But after her fiancé abandons her and the business, Holly regrets having given up her dream of becoming a pastry chef. Now a few bad financial decisions might cost her everything, including her hope for the future.

Jed Henning has done well with his new company despite his prodigal brother’s behavior. When Jed‘s father, the controlling member of the board of directors, temporarily suspends operations until his sons work out their differences, Jed resentfully chases his brother, Chris, to Boise. There Jed rents a basement apartment from Holly and hopes to convince Chris to get his act together before their company collapses.

Unaware that Holly is the one person who can help him get through to Chris, Jed starts the tough work of reconciliation armed with little more than a few family photographs, a stack of old letters, and a Bible that belonged to his great-grandfather, Andrew Henning. And as romance blossoms between Holly and Jed, the story of Jed’s great-grandfather highlights the power of God across the generations and the legacy of a family’s courageous faith.

In My Opinion

In the final book in Robin Lee Hatcher’s Legacy of Faith, we get to spend time with two more of Andrew Henning’s progeny plus catch up with Ben and Ashley from Cross My Heart.

I appreciated the organic progression of Holly and Jed’s romance. Yes, there is interest there from the beginning but these two know right from the start their paths are leading in different directions. It takes some heart changes and revelations before either of them is ready to name what is brewing between them. And while Holly is stuck in the past for much of the book, Jed’s journey moves more quickly as he studies his great-grandfather’s Bible.

Woven throughout is the continuation of Jed Henning’s walk of faith and the impact that has on his ancestors years later. What a legacy to leave your family.

How Sweet It Is has some light-hearted moments that made me smile and some tougher moments that had me reaching for the tissues. Throughout the book, the message of the power, importance, and comfort of spending time digging into God’s word and building a strong relationship with Him rings through. This is an excellent end to the series, and like the author, I am sad to say goodbye to Andrew and his descendants.
