WBCLIB | Feb 19, 2023 |  Jocie Brooke is now 14 years old, and her first year of high school is going well, except for the new English teacher that seems to have it in for her. Her father David, who is a pastor and editor of the small town's newspaper, finally gets up the nerve to pop the question to his girlfriend Leigh. Jocie's older sister Tabitha is happy being a mother to her new baby, a baby that the entire family adores. Life seems to be going well for the Brooke family, but their happiness is threatened to be destroyed by two people; one from the past who David thought was gone for good, and the other is a newcomer to the town. The story was a little slow starting out, but after the first few chapters, it was a real page-turner with all of the unexpected plot twists. If you read the other two books first (which I highly recommend) it's easy to guess who is coming back from the past, but the story behind that person's return surprised me. This book was a nice wrap up to the series, but I think it could have used an epilogue to completely wrap up a couple of the story lines of some of the minor characters. (  ) mom2acat | May 21, 2014 | Cute, fast read. For fans of Christian historical romance. Be warned though, this is the third book in a series and some of the characters back stories are only touched upon. Also, unlike the title, the story is only set in summer for about three chapters (not that it really matters, but I found it amusing). I received this book for free from Revell Reads in return for my honest, unbiased opinion. (  ) ecataldi | Apr 9, 2014 | A sweet tale of friendship, family,controversy, secrets, past meets the present and love set against the backdrop of 1960's Kentucky. Nothing will never be the seem again. Ms. Gabhart writes with passion, devotion and endurance of people in everyday America. A must read for anyone who enjoys contemporary romance, and the storm that is brewing. A great summer read! Powerful and compelling! *Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group, provided this complimentary copy for my honest, unbiased review.* RATING: 4 HEAT RATING: SWEET REVIEWED BY: AprilR, courtesy of My Book Addiction and More ( ) MyBookAddiction | Mar 31, 2014 | In this novel, Ms. Gabhart captures everything from romance, to secrets and letting go of the past. She fills the book with tenderness and love, but also with anger and hatred. It makes for a wonderful combination as you turn the pages. Jocie's character really brought out my mama side! I wanted to wrap her up and hold her all day long and tell her everything would be okay! Of course, Ms. Gabhart adds characters that made me quite mad, too! For instance, Jocie's mother. Let's just say, I wanted to through the book across the room and throttle her! But, Ms. Gabhart over came that with adding humor to the story to keep me smiling through out the book, as well. If you are looking for a novel that is both dramatic and refreshing, then Ms. Gabhart's Summer Of Joy is for you. She will pull you into her 4 star books and keep you hooked from start to finish. Another fabulous job, Ms. Gabhart! Thank you! ( ) ReviewsbyMolly | Mar 29, 2014 |
 Jocie Brooke is a freshman in high school, her older sister a new mom, and her father is smitten by a younger woman who appears to share his feelings. David is ready to ask Leigh to marry him, but embarrassed about the small size of his mother's diamond. Leigh wasn't worrying over a diamond. She was more concerned about David's feelings about being older than she. Other challenges are about to veil the size of the diamond. Shadows from the past and a newcomer to town become the clouds of the future. This is the third book in a series set back in the 1960s in a small town called Hollyhill. The Brooke family is the focus of these stories, and the activities in small town America are typical of the time period. Prejudices still remain and gossip is a common activity. The setting is quaint and the characters are varied and colorful. The development of the characters throughout this series and in this concluding book is commendable. Ann Gabhart has a wonderful talent for creating a great cast of characters and making the reader a part of Hollyhill and sharing all of the activities therein. If you're looking for an engaging, satisfying and unpredictable story of family and love, mystery and intrigue, wit and comedic events, Summer of Joy will satisfy your quest. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and felt very much a part of the story as I traveled back in time to my own high school years along with Jocie. Grab a copy of this book and relax with a pot of tea. You're in for some great surprises once again. Ann Gabhart is a specialist at creating a warm and sensitive novel.
