How Sweet It Is

Robin Lee Hatcher has a light touch in her writings that make her works easy to read and follow.  She inserts humor in a sometimes understated way, but always with grace and tact.  How Sweet It Is is a book that plumbs more spiritual depths than I normally remember from her writings.  The overarching theme is forgiveness and acceptance and it pushes the readers to do some soul-searching of their own.

Jed has been charged by his father to make amends with his brother, Chris, and try to get him back into the company Jed and he began.  Laffriot is a computer gaming company that has Jed as the business brains and Chris as the creative force. 

Chris' last known location is Boise, Idaho, so that is where Jed is headed to try to make contact with Chris.  While taking a stroll, he passes by the apartment where his grandparents first lived when they got married. He finds that the apartment is available for rent and his landlady is a beautiful young lady who captures his interest and his eye.

When his cousin gives Jed a box of pictures and memorabilia, Jed finds that his grandfather's Bible is included in the things he needed to go through.  There is where Jed finds the answers to his own conundrums about his relationship with his brother.

Robin's style of writing is easy for the reader to follow and to understand.  Her setting for this book is charming, and the supporting characters are all likable folk. 

This is definitely a four star book, highly entertaining.
