Today, I’d like to share Betty’s new novel, Annabelle’s Joy, with you. I’ve been waiting for this one as it concludes the series that I love. While you can read this book as a stand-alone, you’ll want to read Annabelle’s Ruth and Sutter’s Landing first. 🙂

Annabelle’s Joy

She’s waited too long. When Tom proposed last year, Annabelle wasn’t ready to open her heart to another man. Pain still held a thin crust around it. Time has healed her heart, but with a new woman in town, one who clearly has her sights set on Tom, does it matter if Annabelle’s heart is ready to love again?

Folks in town are keeping a close eye on their pharmacist, hoping to be the first to hear the good news. He’s been courting the widow Cross for nigh on two years now. Annabelle Cross better wake up and put her dancing shoes on. Mr. Tom is prime real estate.

Drift back into the simple, country life of Tennessee in 1957 with this sequel to award-winning ANNABELLE’S RUTH.
