A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?
Four young women meet at a restaurant owners conference:Angel from Florida, Monica from Missouri, Haley from Oklahoma, and Allison from New Jersey,and discover they share the same faiths, fears, and hopes, including a lack of a love story in their lives. They vow to keep in touch, pray for one another, and meet again at next years conference. What happens in between is an absolute smorgasbord of changed lives, challenged faiths, new dedications and directions, and romantic twists that turn next years conference reunion plans into reservations for eight.
This is the description that amazon gives the book. Here's a tad more indepth version.
These four women meet at a Restaurant Owner's conference, and Angel finds an appron with the words "Kiss the Cook" on it. And like in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, they dicide to share the appron, they pass it on when something happens to them. As it gets passed around, the Girls each sign their names, along with their Fiances/Husbands, that come along. But when it gets to Allison (her being the last one to have it) Her Fiance crosses out the word cook, and Writes 'Bride'. Its a great combination of stories, and authors.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
This is one of my favorites in my Personal Library...I got it for Christmas, and its autographed, along w/the sequel...Revealed. It takes place in the 1870's, and Tamera does a great job writing in this era. Kathryn Loves her husband, but because of past events, he isn't trust worthy. So Kathryn is always having to explain herself to Larson, But when Larson goes missing, she finds out that their farm is going under, not to mention she finds out she's pregnant, all without Larson. But when they find a body with Larson's Jacket on him, She thinks her husband is dead.
One Day a man covered in Burns from a fire shows up in town, named Jacob. Jacob finds himself drawn to the pregnant widow...but could she ever love a man that looked like him? Would she ever see past his scares?
When Kathryn Finds herself falling for Jacob, she feels like she is betraying Larson...Will God help her over come this?? Or will she go through the rest of her life as a Single Mother?
Tamera Alexander did a wonderful job writing this story, it keeps your attention and those pages turning!
