    After Grace Chadwick receives a surprise inheritance from her aunt–a house and a florist shop--she moves in after the funeral. While she doesn't know the first thing about flowers, she sees this an answer to her prayers--the new start she desperately needs.

    When Elliot Wallac drops by his new neighbor's house with casserole, he finds the house next door has problems. Damp walls and a sagging floor set his builders senses on alert. But this house needs more than a cosmetic fix, inspection reveals more extensive issues.

    Like Grace's spiritual life, the house is suffering from neglect at the very foundation. With God's guidance can Elliot help Grace repair her home and her faith before both are condemned?

    I like the Christian foundation of this story although I had trouble with the heroine. Fortunately she has a strong Christian suitor who shows her the worth she has in Christ. Grace has always found it hard to live up to her name. She has stumbled a time or two and hasn’t been able to get on steady feet. Now Grace has inherited her beloved Aunt’s house and florist shop. Grace has decided to make an attempt to renew the house and revive the florist shop but she will need help. She knows nothing about flowers so she rehires the prior employees who are more than happy to show her the ropes.

    'Good story about two people who have been hurt in the past working through their pasts and learning to love and trust again. I liked the unfolding of the character's back stories and how their relationship developed. Will we find out what happened to Grace's missing sister in a subsequent novel? Nice to see glimpses of characters from the other books set in Headley Cross too. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.' Helen B

    Carnations in January, written by Clare Revell, is a unique story. It’s setting is in a flower shop, hence the Carnations in the name of the book and the flower shop name of Carnation Street Florist. Grace has inherited her aunt’s flower shop and her home after her recent death. She’s been an accountant and decides she needs a new start so she takes on the shop and moves into her aunts home. Right from the start she meets Elliott, her neighbor and an Elder at the church where the funeral was for her aunt. He’s a sweet guy that seems to be around all of the time. Through his consistent testimony and kindness, she sees that her perception of Christians isn’t what It should be, but does she really want to trust a man and a Christian at that? I did think that the over all inspirational story was biblical and very encouraging. I’m not exactly sure where this author is from, but it’s not the USA. The wording is very foreign sounding at times and even so much as to sound a bit confusing o
