How does a single mom cope with divorce, depression, and looming destitution? Run a funeral home, of course!
Jen has been job hunting endlessly since her divorce and is gradually watching her bank balance go down and her bills go up with no luck on the job front. When she gets an unexpected windfall from a long-forgotten dead relative, she packs up the kids and her mother and goes to Florida to check out her inheritance. Hoping to find a lovely historical home that she can convert into a profitable bed and breakfast, Jen instead finds a dilapidated money pit which operates a struggling funeral home out of the first floor.
True to Angela Hunt's style, the Fairlawn books are sprinkled with humor (a customer who wants to be alive at her own funeral, for example), but bring about good messages about family, funerals, and faith. Jen's journey from single mother who desperately wants to win back her ex-husband into the confident Christian businesswoman who realizes that the man she loves has been right under her nose all along will keep you reading these wonderful books.
Jen takes a faith journey not only in operating Fairlawn, but also in taking in long-lost family members, tackling a new career, and dealing with deaths that are far too close to home. I highly recommend this series for any fan of Angela Hunt or other similar Christian fiction authors.
