Good! Jesetta "Jet" Hutchens is searching for love and deeper understanding about questions in her life. When her younger sister meets a new beau and is welcomed by his family, Jet is pulled along for the ride. This short story is a prequel (back story) to the main book: Love Led by the Spirit. This clean romance has Christian faith elements and realistic life issues. A good read!

Enjoyed
What a wonderful reminder to "Crowning Glory" and a connection to "Love Led by the Spirit". I enjoyed author's detailed narrative. Always well written and edited. Few misprints.
The story talks to me, relating to stay firmly ground in Jesus Christ, my prayer life and the Holy Spirit! Despite 'Jet's anger, grief and emotional pain, she had a prayer connection and a family that did not cease their prayers. God is in control of her characters lives.

I love this author!
Jet did everything she could to hold onto her anger even though she knew she was hurting herself. It was good to get some insight to her. Starting Book 3 now.

A must read!
Poor Jet. She has had it rough. Her sister was murdered, her brother in law marries a woman who was convicted of murdering her own child. So much but when you don't have Christ in your life, walls become to high to climb. I loved this story and also the continuation of Levi and Karen's story.

Jet: The Back Story to Love Led by the Spirit by Pat Simmons
Restore My Soul Series Book Two
Jesetta “Jet” Hutchens, as the older sister, has watched over her younger sister, Diane, since their parents died. They are best friends. She watches as her sister falls in love, marries, and gives birth. And then she loses her sister and that hole is filled up with unforgiveness and anger.
The quiet voice of Pastor Rossi Tolliver is always there, urging her to hand things over to God. Jet just can't get through the anger—or the past—to move on, or to allow God control of her life.
This novella is told from Jet's point of view only. It spans about eight years of her life. The reader can first meet Jet in book one; Crowning Glory and her story continues in book three; Love Led by the Spirit.

MY REVIEW FOR JET:
I really enjoyed this backstory JET. It's a story filled with life's unexpected circumstances, pain and the challenge of finding love. Jesetta, affectionately known as Jet, becomes consumed with a storm in her life that she wouldn't wish on her worst enemy. God sends her a family who stands in the gap for her during her process. That's all fine and dandy but it's evident that she needs JESUS for herself.
Reading this story made me want to go back and read Crowning Glory and now I'm super ready to read the upcoming release Love Led by the Spirit. If you're looking for a quick, enjoyable story, download this one and you'll want to read more books from this author. I've read several of her books. Pat Simmons is amazing!

Loved this short story...
I really enjoyed meeting Jet, Diane, Levi, Rossi and the rest of the Tollivers.
I loved Jet's back story, even without reading,
Crowning Glory. As usual, Pat has given us a story that opens the hearts of her characters.
God is in control of these peoples' lives. That is what I love about a Pat Simmons book.
Always well written and professionally edited; Pat Simmons never disappoints me.
Now, to download Crowning Glory for my next enjoyable read. Smiles.

Great read!! Quick read...very encouraging! I was NOT ready for it to end so soon. Takes your heart straight to the Word of God on forgiveness / being judgmental. Only God has the power to accurately & eternally hold the master key to these! Now on to Crowning Glory:-)
