One More Time For Joy (The Paradise Valley Series) by Amy Lillard

Joy Lehman has pressed on faithfully since losing her husband, raising their children, and running a thriving bakery alone. Even caring for her oldest son, Johnny—seriously injured after a fall—has not shaken her fierce independence. Johnny will walk again, she’s sure. Until then, a meeting of the Widows’ Club at her home makes it clear that Joy must consider some costly renovations. Her brother-in-law, Uriah, is happy to provide the lumber and the labor—if Joy will accept his help.

Uriah understands family challenges—he’s a widower himself, and father to four daughters. Yet he can see that Joy’s struggle lies deeper than house repairs, in learning to accept an altered future for her son. As Uriah’s daughters begin helping in the bakery, and Joy and Uriah’s bond grows deeper, a new possibility glows bright—the unexpected happiness that lies in embracing one strong, united family, filled with support and love . . .


Every book in this series just gets better and better.  Joy is struggling with raising her children alone.  Her oldest is in a wheelchair and the house just isn't accessible to him.  Despite the doctor's predictions that he will remain wheelchair-bound, Joy is convinced he will walk in time.  

Uriah, her brother-in-law steps in to help and build an accessible home.  His daughters even start helping out as well.  Uriah begins to have feelings for Joy but Joy doesn't seem to return them.  

The kinner decide to take matters into their own hands and what ensues is a bit of chaos, comedy and maybe a second chance at love.  With a great storyline and plot twists this was a great book in an already great series.  

So pick up your copy of One More Time For Joy and dive into a great book.  Happy Reading!
