The best things come in pairs.
Summertime in Nicolet has always been idyllic, but for Heidi and Shelly Lakanen, the summer of 1994 brings just a little more than they’ve bargained for. When Steven Davis comes to town, the Lakanen girls know their lives will never be the same, but they have no idea just how much their sisterly bond will be put to the test as a result. It bends under the strain, but will it break?
From the moment he drives into town, Steven Davis can’t shake the sense that something wonderful awaits him in Nicolet. The loneliness of his past fades almost completely away as he finds himself embraced by the fun-loving Lakanen clan, but one decision risks the loss of everything (and everyone) he’s come to care about. For Steven and the Lakanen family, it’s a summer of shattered dreams and beautiful surprises.
Fans of Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove and the Netflix series Sweet Magnolias will love Joy of Today. Make it your next book!
Great storytelling. Believable characters and a gentle conflict that pulled me right in. Entertaining and unpredictable in a way that has me grabbing for the next one. ~Amazon Reader
I enjoyed this sweet, thoughtful story. The writing was beautiful, the setting felt so real, and the characters were complex and multi dimensional, especially the twins. The tension and surprises kept me guessing, and the love and affection between the main characters shone throughout. A solid debut. ~Amazon Reader
I loved how this story played out. It was like a story about old friends. Even though this is part of a series, it’s very able to stand on it’s own. If you have read others, as I have, in this series, it’s like sitting around and hearing how your friends are doing. An update on thier lives. ~Goodreads Reader
