Dreams That Won't Let Go is the third book in the Jubilant Soul series, and although I only read the second book in the series, I was able to completely enjoy this novel.
I enjoyed reading the struggles in the Burns family and how they dealt with their challenges without losing faith and their love for each other. Wedding preparations have been what most women dream of from childhood. The same holds true for Indigo Burns. The brother-sister relationship between Indigo and Ruben was pa More...

I've said it before, normally I don't pick up a book in mid-series - especially if it's the LAST book in series. However, I was pleasantly surprised as I dove into this book.
While I did need to do some "catching up" for character background info, I was able to do this by paying attention to the details Hawkins Adams wove into the story.
I do think reading the first two books would have enhanced my enjoyment of Dreams That Won't Let Go, because it would have help More...

Dreams that Won't Let Go is a riveting and beautiful book. I have not read the earlier books in the Jubilant Souls series, but I will make it a point to go back and read the first two. However, the third installment stands on it's own very well, I never felt lost. I just want to rad the first two to learn more about some of the characters and to enjoy more of Ms. Adams' writing.
So what about this book stood out to me? First the characters. I enjoyed getting to know Indigo More...

I really like this book. This is the third book in the Jubilant Soul series, however, the events in this book didn't leave me confused so it could be read as a stand alone title or in the series. As I read this book I saw that the author, Stacy Hawkins Adams, was able to draw on a topic( I won't elaborate as I don't want to give spoilers!) that can be very real in today's world. A wonderful job! I could see my self in these amazing characters. The author did a fantastic job blending these charac

I enjoyed reading the personal and family struggles of the Burns family and admired how they dealt with their challenges without losing faith and their love for one another. At the core of their relationships was love and despite all of the unspoken secrets, that love never died. The brother-sis

This third book in Stacy's series can't be the end. I don't want it to be. I want to read more about the families in Jubilant, and the stories the characters have to tell. Dreams that Won't Let Go continues the story of Reuben and his young family's arrival back into the lives of his siblings and the grandparents who raised them. There is more than a little bit of resentment on his sisters' parts when he gets all the attention, though he never asked for it. Yasmin wants to start modeling again a

It was a great book just like the other two. One thing that has stuck and will stick with me was near the end of the book. The next to last page to be exact. Reuben had just given his testimony at church and was about to sing. He stated he had not sung since he was 12. He said he thought the song had died in him when his parents died in the accident. (this next statement) Reuben stated "I've realized that the song didn't die- I smothered it." WOW!! Powerful. I think we have all

I was not disappointed by this next book in the series. There were still a few things that had me lost for a bit but I'm not sure if that was the author's intent or I was missing background info by not having read the first book in the series.
While Dreams That Won't Let Go did divulge an unknown from Reuben's past; it didn't have the same shock effect as when we learned about Brian's past in the second book but it still made for a good storyline.

The third installment of the Jubilant Soul series and, like the second one, it stands alone well. Indigo's story is continued, but through her relationship with her brother Reuben, the prodigal son returned.
It was a bit of a slow starter for me, but I ultimately enjoyed the story. Indigo starts out rather petulant and whiny and I wanted to kick her. But, as she's planning her wedding, her mother showers all her love and attention on Reuben and his family instead of focusing on any More...

First of all, thank you to good reads for this book. I don't think I would have chosen this book on my own. Even though it is very religiously based, it still has a wonderful message. It shows how important it is for a family to have open lines of communication in all facets of life. Without communication only hurt can result. If the lines of communication are open a family and the individuals within it can get through all the tough times in life. It is a message that I think many families need.

I won this book from Goodreads.
It's the first book that I've read by this author. I have to say that I enjoyed the book.
It makes me think about how all of us have to come to terms with old hurts or disappointments from our past. This is especially true in families if we are going to be truly happy.
The only thing that bothered me about it was the fact that the grandchildren called the grandparents Mom & Dad.
I would recommend this book.

A little slow and a lot less dramatic than the author probably would like you to think. It could've used a lot more twists and turns but it is based in religion so its probably as much as a less worldly person would ever experience
