By: Barbara Hinske

Narrated by: Dina Pearlman

Loretta and Frank Haynes have newborn twins. They're beautiful and healthy. Frank has everything he wants: a growing family and a thriving business. He should be on cloud nine, not down in the dumps. What's got him tied up in knots?

On a happier note, David Wheeler continues his journey to become a seeing eye dog trainer. His plans to bring a guide dog training school to Westbury are bolstered by the donation of a rare piece of jewelry. The auction of the brooch leads to a staggering twist.

Meanwhile, Maggie Martin is sailing along in her new position as president of Highpointe College. Will her late husband's shady past raise its ugly head and upend her success?

Follow along as the kind and generous people of Westbury tackle life's problems together.

Finally

Finally, Loretta gets some relief. It's definitely been the LONGEST labor ever waiting for this smash hit.
The characters, of course, are well established, and I love how Ms. Barb truly writes in real-life issues that you wouldn't think could happen.
I can't wait for the rest of the storyline. I just hope Maggie keeps that Bed, what a treasure.
Only other thing I wish for is have Maggie carry John's last name. Her ex did wrong, her kids are grown, why keep Martin? Her true love is John, let her express that by taking his last name. John deserves that, Not Paul.
Wonderful, the narrator is spot on at her delivery. This is novel #9 so I expect nothing less. Kudos.
Keep them coming, I just hope Hallmark picks up THIS series as well, talk about a gold mine, THIS whole series has it all.
Big hugs Ladybug.

engaging characters

interesting how she brings in topics not often discussed and details about setting eye dogs not known.

Not finished

As usual, I’m wanting more! There is more match making to be done. The cliff hanger screams ‘one more volume’! Please.

Not her best story

I bought this book because I really like the guiding Emily series of books. which was the first time I had ever listen to books by this author. I found this story to drag somewhat and the book could have been shorter. the outcome was predictable so I probably won't be listening to anymore of her books in this series.

continuing the story

Enjoy listening to learn more about the characters and how the story is developing. It did in fairly abruptly though, so I assume there’s a next book coming.

I’m hoping there’s a 10th book!

I really enjoy this series. Each book is easy to listen to and the characters are so likable. I hope there’s another one or a spinoff of the series.

Waaay tooo SHORT

I sped thru this volume way too quickly. Will they or won’t they (on all fronts)! No spoilers here. Waiting for next volume!

Inaccurate and dangerous breastfeeding and baby care advise

I understand this is a novel but stating incorrect and potentially harmful breastfeeding and newborn care information as if it is fact is irresponsible. Newborns should not be fed on a schedule they need to feed on cue and often cluster feed. Also newborns should never be left to cry it interferes with bonding and trust development.
