More from Jill

Working in a library or a bookstore has always been a dream job of mine. As book bloggers and readers, you may have had that same dream.

Sadly, I’ve never made that dream come true. So instead, I created a fictitious character, Molly Morgan.  In A Dream of Family, Molly Morgan owns and operates a bookstore, so by writing her story, I was able to somewhat fulfill my dream of working in a job where I’m surrounded by books all day.

As a child growing up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., I loved the bookmobile. Twice a month a small library on wheels rolled into the neighborhood and parked in front of our house. There was nothing better than to feel the wallop of arctic air the moment I climbed aboard. It was the perfect escape from the hot and sticky summer months. Like a time machine, the endless rows of books transported me to distant places. It was there I was introduced to The Box Car Children and Nancy Drew Mysteries. One stamp of black ink,and it was mine to devour for two weeks.

I haven’t seen a bookmobile since my childhood, but they still exist today. Thankfully, libraries and bookstores are still in our communities, offering wonderful programs to inspire young readers. But as I watch public libraries reduce their hours and bookstores close their doors, I’m grateful to have grown up in a time where bookmobiles traveled the streets of my neighborhood. Those days, my biggest decision during summer vacation was what book to take to the pool.

Blessings,

Jill Weatherholt

My Review

I enjoy Jill Weatherholt’s books and was happy to have the opportunity to read her newest release, A Dream of Family. I found Molly and Derek’s story to be a delight to read. I adored little Grace. There are some beautiful life lessons to be learned or reminded of, such as, hope, love, faith, and the power of forgiveness. It is slightly predictable but still oh so good to read. Overall, it is a wonderful and heartwarming tale.  I really liked it. 

I am giving A Dream of Family four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean and sweet romance. It is most definitely worth a read and not to be missed. As always, I will be looking for more by Jill Weatherholt in the future. 

I received a paperback copy of A Dream of Family from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
