"Returning to Henry Adams, Kansas, is akin to attending a family reunion. The characters are rich, and the kids all have a story to be told."--Romantic Times"This series is a winner."--Minneapolis ExaminerBestselling author Beverly Jenkins takes readers back to Henry Adams--a small town originally founded by freed slaves--for a delightful fourth visit with A Wish and a Prayer.

Loaded with heart and wit, Jenkins's A Wish and a Prayer is like coming home--a welcome return that readers of Kimberla Lawson Roby and Angela Benson and African American romance fans will certainly want to experience.
