NAACP nominee and bestselling author Beverly Jenkins returns to Henry Adams, Kansas—an unforgettable place that anyone would want to call home—with a story of family, friends, and the powerful forces from our past that can irrevocably shape our future.

Mayor Trent July and his wife Lily are enjoying life as newlyweds and embracing the challenges and joys that come with being foster parents to two wonderful boys. But being a foster father has inevitably forced him to think about his own birth mother. Raised by his grandmother Tamar—and in many ways the good people of Henry Adams—Trent was blessed with a childhood full of love.

But now he can’t help wondering what happened to the scared teenage girl who handed him over to Tamar. And questions that he’s never voiced are now begging to be answered: Who was she? Is she still alive? Why didn’t she want him?

Trent has always believed no good comes from dwelling on the past, especially when you have a loving family, a strong community, and folks who depend on him. But when the past comes to Henry Adams and Trent has no choice but to face it—and the woman who left him behind. The truth will shake his very being and everything he thought he knew about life, love, and the bonds that hold families together…yet can also tear them apart.

Return to Henry Adams, Kansas—an unforgettable place anyone would want to call home. . . .

Mayor Trent July and his wife, Lily, are enjoying life as newlyweds and embracing the challenges and joys that come with being adoptive parents to two wonderful boys. But fatherhood has inevitably forced Trent to think about his own birth mother.

Raised by his grandmother Tamar—and, in many ways, the good people of Henry Adams—Trent was blessed with a childhood full of love. But he can't help wondering what happened to the scared teenage girl who gave birth to him. And questions that he's never voiced are now begging to be answered: Who was she? Is she still alive? Why didn't she want him?

Trent has always believed that no good comes from dwelling on the past, especially when you have a loving family, a strong community, and folks who depend on you. But when the past comes to Henry Adams, Trent has no choice but to face it—and the woman who left him behind. The truth will shake his very being and everything he thought he knew about life, love, and the bonds that hold families together . . . but can also tear them apart.

Keep the Blessings Coming!

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2015

For Your Love ( Blessings Book 6) continues the legacy of the Blessings series as it entertains, educates, and immerses the reader into the eclectic lives of the citizens of the town of Henry Adams.
The heroine, Bernadine Brown is still 'turning the world' from her desk at the Power Plant as she guides the town into a bright future. Trent July, the hero, is ironically not the love interest of Bernadine, but the Mayor of the town. But that's the beauty of this book. The storyline pulls the reader in and completely captivates. You laugh and shed a tear all in the same chapter. It's a roller coaster ride of emotions, characters, and stories within a story.
The side characters are so instrumental to the storyline that it's hard to select a favorite. They range from 'her horsiness', Astrid Wiggins, Mayor of Franklin ( Bernadine's nemesis) to the recurring denizens, Lily, Tamar, Mal, Devon, Brain, Crystal and Amari to name a few.
The new characters, whose family story is the center of the novel, are Bobby, Kiki and their twins. Consequently, the main idea of this novel , as well as the entire series, is strong on family. That theme is emphasized and developed as the family dynamic is exposed and presented on several levels.
If you are familiar with the Blessing series, then you know that Beverly Jenkins gives you not only a great story, but also a history lesson. She is a master at intertwining fiction with history. For Your Love is the sixth book of this series. If you have not read the previous books, I suggest you make it a priority to do so. I highly recommend For Your Love. It's a great read where the blessings keep on coming!

BJ is my favorite author. She moves seamlessly from historical romance novels that contain explicit sexual details, to the family oriented "Blessings" series. The characters are so well developed, thoughtful, intelligent, strong and just plain interesting. The setting, in Henry Adams, Kansas(?)! Who would think so much could happen in such a small town, and the haters from nearby Franklin County, unbelievable. In this story, the author details the lives of a young couple trying to survive with their infant twins, adults and children coming to terms with growing up in a family without the presence of a mother, an entrepreneur ensuring the welfare of an entire town and its citizens are safe and thriving. There is so much more to this book. The plots continue and it is difficult to stop reading. There were times I cried while reading this book, and there were many times I laughed. BJ always adds humour to her stories no matter the subject. I love this book and look forward to the next installment!!!!.

Blessed for Reading This book

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2015

This is the first book in Beverly Jenkins's Blessings Series that I had read. It was my first Beverly Jenkins book period. Once I started reading"For You Love" I could not put it down. The town of Henry Adams' characters were well developed. You felt like you were in the town. I laughed, cried and just felt good after reading it. I felt so good I started looking for the other books in the series because I wanted to know more about the characters. "For Your Love" is Book 6 in the series. I have now read all the series except one book. Beverly Jenkins develops her characters well and gives you history lessons that are not well known but very interesting. I found myself marking passages so I could go back and do some research on the info. I told my girlfriends about the books. We have formed a book club and are using these books to start up the club. It is amazing how one woman's (Bernadine Brown) blessing could bless so many other people! You have got to read the book!!!

WELL DONE. "NO SPOILERS"

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2015

Well worth the wait. I give it four stars only because in my opinion it wasn't as good as books 1-4 in this series. There are six in all (so far), but books 5&6 rated just bit lower than the previous 4. That said they were all very good. It's just my opinion. Seems anything Ms. Jenkins writes is good. I started with her Destiny series and did not stop reading her work until I read all of her single novels. The only thing she written that I haven't read are those that are short stories included in works with other authors. I'll soon READ those as well.
BACK TO THE BOOK.....I really enjoyed it. Although this book included many beautiful blessings it also included long awaited answers to questions for Trent and Amari. This one was more emotional then humorous. But, there was humor of course. How could there not be humor with Tamar and Zoey in the bunch. What was missing in this one for me was not getting more of Bernadine and Mel. I would love to see Amari' s story get a little deeper too. That said, the book was good. The entire series was beautiful. Thank you Beverly.

This Series is going to challenge my ebook budget.

These days, I mostly give a 2-5 star rating or don’t bother with the process at all.

But with this book I had to leave a review . IMO, this was a captivating book that testified to human nature as it stands, both the good and the bad. For me, it was so good, that I found myself staying up until 3 AM to read it. Although I’m a little iffy about paying more than $8 for an ebook, if it’s really good, I’ll pay $18, as it’s a quality and not to mention captivating story.

Giving this one: 5 well-deserved stars

For Your Love.This book was amazing! It had me in tears. The story continues to surprise me and it shows the characters finding love, life, and happiness among the hardship of this world. Bobby and Kelly finally discover the path of life they can thrive in. They have never seen so much love for them. Trent gets the best gift he could ever imagine while Amari realizes who really loves him. A mother's love can't be taken for granted. I enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the next book!

This particular series of Ms Jenkin's books just keep getting better which should not be humanly possible. This book really takes the reader through an emotional rollercoaster. I cried my way through a whole pack of tissues. I love returning to Henry Adams and meeting my friends from Ms Bernadine the town's owner to the latest to take up residence in this very special town. Ms Jenkins as always gives the reader a big slice of everything, romance, laughs, moments that touch your heart, you name it. This is a wonderfully hearwarming read.

Soul warming, waited far too long for this book and all the others.

Having read all 7 of the blessing (the first 4) at least 5 times. My soul has been warmed. The entangling of lives, the belief that united we can change the world "even a small corner" ... These books need to become part of every child's library, compassion, hope and belief that someone, somewhere can offer hope and love no matter how damaged you believe you are
