In this case, great-grandson Jed is featured along with Holly Stanford who just happens to own the house Andrew and Helen lived in during the early days of their marriage.<\/p>\n<p>As can be expected, <em>How Sweet It Is<\/em> uses Andrew&#8217;s bible to once again bring a family member back to their walk of faith. Andrew and Helen&#8217;s story is one that is filled with both love and tragedy but it vividly illustrates how the Lord stands strong through all the storms of life. Jed and Holly each have challenges in their lives that only God can help them overcome. It was encouraging to read about how seeming coincidences actually became evident as the obvious leading of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>A sweet romance, <em>How Sweet It Is<\/em> was easy to read and enjoyable. Although filled with scripture references, the faith element was not intrusive and did not detract from the story.<\/p>\n<p><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>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Prism Book Tours.

She lost her dream. Together, they might find what they\u2019re really looking for.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: '&amp;quot',serif; color: #2c3338;\">Holly Stanford is doing the best she can with the restaurant she inherited from her late uncle. But after her fianc\u00e9 abandons her and the business, Holly regrets having given up her dream of becoming a pastry chef. Now a few bad financial decisions might cost her everything, including her hope for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: '&amp;quot',serif; color: #2c3338;\">Jed Henning has done well with his new company despite his prodigal brother\u2019s behavior. When Jed\u2018s father, the controlling member of the board of directors, temporarily suspends operations until his sons work out their differences, Jed resentfully chases his brother, Chris, to Boise. There Jed rents a basement apartment from Holly and hopes to convince Chris to get his act together before their company collapses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: '&amp;quot',serif; color: #2c3338;\">Unaware that Holly is the one person who can help him get through to Chris, Jed starts the tough work of reconciliation armed with little more than a few family photographs, a stack of old letters, and a Bible that belonged to his great-grandfather, Andrew Henning. And as romance blossoms between Holly and Jed, the story of Jed\u2019s great-grandfather highlights the power of God across the generations and the legacy of a family\u2019s courageous faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;
