I love this series of books but this wasn't my favourite. Too much talk about pumpkins and if those girls ate all the food they cook they would be the side of a house. I would have preferred some of the other story lines filled out abit more and I like it when the fashions are described in detail. Someone hung her coat on a hook in this book and we didn't even know the color or the style!!! Just joking! I miss those little details. It is the feeling of being there that makes these books so appealing.

I really enjoy reading any book about Grace Chapel Inn. The stories are well written, easy to read and inspirational. I have friends that borrow my books after I've finished reading them. My Mom also reads every single Grace Chapel Inn book that I buy. I like the feel-good effect the books give me and they are also thought-provoking in their content. These books are a must-read for anyone who enjoys a heartwarming story with little life lessons peppered in the text.

This is a great series of books that I believe any woman would enjoy. They are heartwarming stories of Christian ladies living their everyday lives. With the characters, there is always something interesting going on. In a world where not everyone wants to read sordid and often R rated stories and language, this is genuinely great reading material. The books are not heavy reading, but just plain enjoyable. The purchase was easy and the book arrived in a timely manner and was in great shape. It came at a wonderful price for a used book. It was just like new.

The Grace Chapel Inn series is a lot like the feel good story they run on the Friday evening national news. There may be a some hard ship but in the end everything works out just fine.

The series has several different authors, some better than others. Jane Orcutt, may favorite passed away several years ago and I feared I may not find the series as enjoyable. Well, I need not have worried. Sunni Jeffers does a fine job handling her entries into the series.

This time around we have youngest of the Howard sisters, Jane, preparing for a 10K run while trying to fight her desire to beat an old high school rival. Then the Louise, the eldest Howard sister has decided to try her hand at gardening and could just be growing a record breaking giant pumpkin. All of this while middle sister Alice is out of town helping her friend decide whether or not to put a beloved relative into a nursing home.

While not the most complicated of stories there is enough story to keep you ...more The Grace Chapel Inn series is a lot like the feel good story they run on the Friday evening national news. There may be a some hard ship but in the end everything works out just fine.

While not the most complicated of stories there is enough story to keep you interested. Alice's story was by far the most intriguing to me. I thought it was nicely handled (even if it was easy) and ended happily (was there any doubt?). The story of the giant pumpkin was fun and I'll have to look up Louise's secret ingredient to see if it's real. The 10K run storyline was the least successful for me but I think that was just me and not the author's fault.

All and all I enjoyed this entry into the series. There will be no grand book awards for any of these books. But their entertaining and lighthearted. The only thing I wish they had were recipes for all the wonderful food mentioned because they all do sound yummy.

I loved this book! As I've loved all the other Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series!

Can't wait to receive my next book!

Thanks!
