Quick read, second in the Living River Ranch series. Based on an Ecclesiastes chapter of the Bible. We meet the people who are the staff and briefly a few of their clients.
This ranch is helping to heal children and adults whose hearts are broken. I am going back to read the first one now, thought I read it before, but not sure.

This is a story of Belle. She had moved from the city to the ranch after seeing an ad
in a newspaper.
Belle had a boyfriend, Reason who was coming to the ranch to see what all the fuss was about.
Needless to say, the big city boy had no interest in this small community. Their long distance
relationship was not working.
Jake came to the ranch to help. His parents were not sure of his move.
Avery is working at the ranch. She has a daughter. Avery's husband was in the Army, and she was trying to find out what happened to him.
Jake lost a lot of buddies while over fighting in the war. He was trying to visit all the families of
those that were lost. In talking with Avery, he discovered that Avery's husband was Sergeant Jesse Tomlim, one of his buddies.
God works in mysterious ways - bringing these to people together.
Jake's parents drove down to the ranch to surprise him. They made the decision to move
closest to Jake and they loved the ranch.

This is book two in the A Time For Everything series and it keeps drawing me in. I enjoyed Belle and Jake’s story even more than Margaret and Noah’s story. This is a continuing series and I’m looking forward to reading the future books. You will fall in love with all of these characters and wish you lived on the Living River Ranch in Little Bend, Michigan. This series is appropriate for all ages and I recommend this new author to anyone that enjoys a sweet, clean read.

A short and easy to read story based on love, respect, friendship and lots of work - hard work. What I find really amazing is how Everlee Whitman writes about a comunity that is so engaged in its principles and values that it attracts more people with the same approach in life and those that do not see eye to eye with it find it interesting but leave. Also the work with animals and sick children and adults are very important and is an integral part of the ranch´s life.

This is is the second book in the Living River Ranch contemporary Christian romance series. This book and other books in the series follow the scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:18 “A Time For Everything” The book is well written with likable characters and a strong message. The series has been very well done and a good read so far. I gotten involved in the budding romance of Jake and Belle. The ranch seems like a wonderful retreat and god's gift to those with special needs. I received an arc copy from the author and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Everlee Whitman is a new author to me and I enjoyed reading A Time to Live and A Time to Die. (book 1) This book two of her series. It is so peaceful reading her books because it seems as though I am on the ranch where everything is laid back and almost stress-free. It is a sweet clean romance. I am looking forward to the next book. I wholeheartedly recommend A Time to Plant and a Time to Uproot.

The story Living River Ranch continues. Everlee introduces us to Jake, an Army vet with his own demons, who as been hired as the social worker at the ranch. We watch as he helps others and is helped himself. We see his heart open as he grows to love all that Living River healing encompasses.
Belle finds that her heart is at Living River Ranch no matter what her brain has planned. Watch as she moves into the life God has planned for her.
I recommend this book.

Book 2 of A Time for Everything Series.
Introduces Jake Williams as the new Social Worker. What becomes clear repeatedly is that the staff need healing and support just as much as do their clients. Any facility that fails to recognize this will suffer staff burn-out and turnover.

There’s a lot packed into this short book. God’s providence, trauma, family, romance... Some times it feels like everything is so dense and moves quickly, but there are good lessons.

I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review. Sometimes the person God has for us is not who we think it is. When we find it, though, we realize there is nothing better. Wrong things have to be uprooted and good things have to be planted. Very well done!
May 23, 2020
This story felt fast, but I’m encouraged to read more in this series to learn about Jake and Belle, among other characters! I loved that Jake uprooted and was ready to establish himself at the ranch right away. The more I read about Living River Ranch, the more I notice the astounding and miraculous place it is!

Can there be love at first sight? Can you know you are at the right place at the right time? Yes to both questions. And this author can show you how it happened, and it could happen to you too

I felt in love with the Living River Ranch people, each and everyone bring a beautiful colour to the whole story. I like a series that tell you from the beginning where it all started and little by little you find a bit more about each character and his story throughout their daily life. Each With their problems, wants and needs, some more complicated than other but you will follow them on their journey and feel part of the family. I f you love to read a series this one will not disappointed. Can wait to read more...
