My Two Cents

What a delightful story!

Jill Weatherholt’s writing style is very easy to read and follow. Her descriptions of the characters and their thoughts, and the scenery made it easy for me to picture in my mind’s eye.

The story line was believable and flawlessly flowed from one character and scene to another. It was suspenseful at times. The interactions between the adult characters and the leading little girl were touching.

Throughout the story you could see and feel the changes occurring in the two main adult characters, a man and a woman. It is a great story of redemption and kindness.

I highly recommend this book!

NOTE: I received a complimentary copy from Jill Weatherholt for review purposes. I was not required to give a positive review. Thoughts in My Two Cents are my own opinion.

More from Jill

I have a confession. I own a collection of journals. A huge collection. At last count, there were sixty-two beautifully bound books, some with plain covers, others with verses or artistic designs. You could say I’m a hoarder, but I find comfort in knowing I have an unlimited number of blank pages to record my hopes, dreams and prayers. That’s exactly what I did on June 22, 2008. On that day, I wrote the following:

I want to be a writer, not just a writer who keeps a journal or casually writes stories. I want to be a published writer. Lately, I’ve become obsessed with reading author’s websites, their bios, how they got started writing and how difficult or easy it was for them to get published. This is what I want to do with my life. This is what I will do. I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. God has put this dream in my heart and now I will pursue this dream.

Fast forward to March 31, 2015. I made a last-minute decision to enter Harlequin Love Inspired Blurb to Book Contest. I submitted a one sentence blurb, along with one page of the first and only book I’d ever written.

On April 13, 2015, I was stunned to learn I had advanced in the contest. I then submitted a synopsis and the first three chapters.

On May 15^th, I was notified I had moved on in the contest. I was required to submit the entire manuscript. At that time, the book was merely a rough draft, so a lot of rewriting was required before my deadline.

On August 17, 2015, I received a call that forever changed my life. While working my day job, my cell phone rang—it was New York calling. An editor from Harlequin had called to offer me a contract on the first book I’d ever written. My first book Second Chance Romance was released on March 1, 2017.

Five published books later, I still fill my journals with my dreams and prayers.
