I have loved reading about Jessie and Danny&#8217;s relationship ups and downs from the very beginning and can happily say I thought things ended well for them. I also liked watching Jessie&#8217;s values change over the course of the three books and was quite pleased with some decisions she made in this one.<\/p>\n<p>Emotions ran high in &#8220;From Bags to Riches&#8221; &#8211; from joy one minute to grief the next. I&#8217;ll admit I shed a few tears a time or two. Overall the entire series was enjoyable and gratifying to read. I eagerly look forward to Bricker&#8217;s next novel. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by Amazon Vine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jessie Hart worked so hard to put her Louisiana roots in the rear view mirror and her Adornments boutique on the map.
