💕Joan Jonkers books💕

I don’t know what more I can say about Joan Jonkers books than what I’ve said on other reviews. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve read them over the years. I still have the paperbacks in the attic. When I’m reading the times I feel myself smiling and the amount of times my hubby asks what I’m smiling at. Pure joy, a lift when you need it

Loved this book and love this series. Getting closer to the final book and I will miss reading about the lives of these great characters. Ms. Jonker has a gift for describing the setting as well. I feel transported back in time. These are books of hope and caring, perfect for the challenging times we are having in 2020! Highly recommend the whole series.

Another smashing read just as all the others in the series. I will really miss Molly, Nellie, and the family when the series is completed.
