Hometown Healing was an engaging, small-town story about the importance of forgiveness and the hope of second chances. It was also about learning to trust in God and in those you love, rather than allowing fear to control you.
The attraction began to brew between Paige and Jed right from the opening of the book, but they had a long way to go in order to set aside hurts from the past. I enjoyed watching them begin to fall in love again, and to see Paige work to overcome her fear of another failed ...more

Another heart-warming read from Jennifer Slattery! The author has a way of weaving the difficult emotions and experiences that can become stumbling blocks in life into an uplifting and enriching story of overcoming fears to fight for love and the abundant life.

A heart tugging reunion romance that made me a little crazy. lol That's because Paige was so closed off at the beginning -- it about broke my heart the way she rebuffed Jed. She has her reasons, deep rooted issues that she's running from but it still hurt to read some scenes. :-) Absolutely love the whole dinner theater angle. I've never been to one -- not even sure if they are a 'thing' up here -- but I love when characters have unusual occupations so this made it extra fun. And the way Paige a

A sweet, sweet story that left me smiling, Hometown Healing by Jennifer Slattery has small-town romance, coupled with plenty of second chances, forgiveness, and a fun dinner-theater setting.
Paige Cordell returns to her hometown—but only temporarily. Jed Gilbertson, of course, has other hopes for Paige. As they work together, hurts from the past lay between them, and he needs a lot of patience and perseverance to work his way back into her heart—and convince her to stay.

There were several times in Hometown Healing I didn’t like Paige much. The cold shoulder and brush off she continues to give Jed had me feeling for the guy. Yet, the way Jennifer Slattery lays out Paige’s backstory had me changing my mind about her, and even rooting for her happily ever after, by the end of the book. The wall Paige has built around herself to protect her heart seems impenetrable but with Jed’s persistence and tenacity to reach his former best friend, cracks are formed.

HOMETOWN HEALING by Jennifer Slattery is a great second chance romance. It’s the story of Paige Cordell’s return to Sage Creek, Texas after being terminated from the fashion magazine she wrote for when they downsized due to financial difficulties. This following a husband that walked out on their marriage leading to a divorce, leaves her little choice on her next step. She comes back to her hometown with her adorable daughter, Ava who is almost 3, for what she hopes is a temporary stay with her

Hometown Healing is a heartwarming coming home story about finding second chances. I enjoyed this novel by Jennifer Slattery as I settled into the Southern small-town charm of Sage Creek.
I loved the themes of healing and weathering hardship in this book and how Paige discovers perfection shouldn’t be her goal since real-life is far from perfect. Instead, the story emphasizes that clinging to faith and loved ones are what makes life worthwhile. Paige and Jed's story definitely gives you misty ey ...more

Jennifer Slattery has a talent for writing stories that touch the heart and uplift the soul, and her compassionate portrayal of characters going through difficulties is clearly in evidence in her new novel for Love Inspired.

Any story with the elements this one has, are usually on my radar:
* Small Towns (particular Texas, as I was born there)
* Handsome Cowboy(s)
* Single Moms with Small Kid(s) (particularly with daughters, as I was raised from the age of 4 by my mom)
So, I HAD to buy it!
This is one of those “second-chance romance” stories, complete with misunderstandings, trust issues, and self-doubts.
This is the first book of Jennifer Slattery’s I have read, and she has an amazing way of writing out the realistic ...more

She had been fired from her job at a fashion magazine. She never expected to be back in Texas. She finds a job at an ex's dinner theater.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
I just love second chances, and I thoroughly enjoyed Hometown Healing. Paige Cordell’s plans was to move home with her mom just until she could get back on her feet. And the main thing she needs to do is to stay away from the neighbor’s grandson, Jed Gilbertson. But that was proved impossible in the small town of Sage Creek. I enjoyed each time Jed and Paige spent time together. Their characters were amazing, and though tension was sometimes tight, Ms. Slattery does a re ...more

Hometown Healing is a sweet story of a teenage misunderstanding being healed when writer Paige Cordell loses her job and has to return home until she finds a way of supporting herself and her toddler. Jed Gilbertson and his grandmother need a mystery writer as they turn their restaurant into a western style mystery theater! I recommend this well-written romance to others. I won my copy of Hometown Healing in a giveaway on Shannon Vannatter's blog. This is my honest opinion.
