Good Morning Everyone :)
I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to take the time to drop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review today.
I'm Kirby, and I'm excited to welcome you to my little corner of the internet.
A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and ever since, I've been trying to work my way through as many of the titles as I can find.
It's a slightly older series, so my library hasn't had every title available, but I have had the opportunity to read quite a few so far.
If you're interested in checking out those reviews, you can find them all under the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn label at the bottom of this post.
Otherwise, I hope you'll all keep on reading down below for my review of the most recent title I had the opportunity to finish.
Tempest in a Teapot by Judy Baer:
Publisher: Guidepost Books
Publication Date: January 1st, 2005
Genre: Christian Fiction/Small Town Series/Contemporary
Series: Tales From Grace Chapel Inn
Synopsis:
With a beloved natural landmark in danger, the Howard sisters must find a way to save the beauty of God's creation. When an out-of-state developer wants to drain Fairy Pond -- a beloved piece of Acorn Hill's past -- and put in a gas station, a storm of protest rises up. But while most residents are opposed to destroying the idyllic spot, some businesspeople are in favor of the added commerce a gas station would bring. With the town divided, Mayor Lloyd Tynan is having a hard time keeping everyone happy, but when the stress starts to affect his health, the fight over Fairy Pond takes on a new urgency. With the mayor out of commission, who will champion the cause of saving this natural wonder? A recluse who lives by the pond has some answers, but his strange history with Louise complicates matters. As the Howard sisters take charge to fight the development, help arrives from an unexpected source and reminds the whole town of the wonder of God's creation.

My Review:
I love getting to curl up with new to me books in the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and I've been enjoying (slowly) working my way through as many of the titles as I can. I ended up picking this one up to read after finishing a rather disturbing Christian thriller title, and this ended up being exactly what I needed for a much more positive reading experience.
Coming back to Acorn Hill always feels like reconnecting with old friends; only this time the small town is rife with drama and division as a developer wants to turn the beautiful fairy pond into a gas station, and the town is divided pretty much right down the middle on how they feel about it. Jane Howard in particular can't seem to let the situation go, and as she watches everyone around her fighting over it, she'll have to learn to trust that God always has a master plan, if we're only willing to trust Him to reveal it.
Another wonderful, heartwarming title from a favorite series, and one I didn't want to see come to an end. I loved how the reader is treated to a little bit more of Louise's backstory in this title, and also, how once again the focus is more on family, faith and friendship than it is on romance.
If you're in the mood for a sweet, faith based series that will leave you with a big smile on your face, then I'd highly recommend Tempest in a Teapot or any of the other titles in the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series.
Final Rating: 4/5.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
