Synopsis

The Minister's Daughter, the fourth book in Jennifer Wixson's delightful Sovereign Series, will leave you hankering after a simpler lifestyle and wondering whether you can reach Sovereign in time for the Harvest Supper! Nellie Walker, tall, blonde and beautiful, is also a bit of a snob. She had once sworn never to return to Sovereign, and now ... here she is! When a tragic loss leaves Nellie (the daughter of Maggie, minister of the local Union church) alone in the world, she's forced to return to Sovereign, Maine -- a place she's always disliked -- to pick up the pieces of her mother's life. Soon, Nellie finds herself overwhelmed by the generosity of the goodhearted townspeople, who ply her with chocolate cakes, cookies, and casseroles in an attempt to console her. Life in this rural farming community is much different for Nellie this time around, however. Much to her surprise she finds herself enjoying having dinner with Wendell and Rebecca at the old Russell homestead; lighting deer with Ryan and Trudy; and learning about old-fashioned roses from the compassionate country doctor, Doctor Bart, Nellie's childhood champion, who helps Nellie search for her father, a man whose identity her mother has never revealed. In return, Nellie helps Doctor Bart realize a long-time dream by opening a free medical clinic in Miss Hastings' former music studio. Doctor Bart's other long-time dream is to make Nellie his wife. But stiff-necked Nellie naturally wants to choose her own partner and newcomer Walden, the "Mushroom Man," has piqued her interest. Who is this mysterious stranger? And why has his unorthodox view of land ownership created such a stir in Sovereign? The Minister's Daughter is a magical story filled with the stuff that makes Maine wonderful -- the scent of rustling pines, hand-made quilts, storytelling Old Farts, forgotten history like mortgage buttons, Needhams (chocolates), old-fashioned roses and herbs. You won't want to miss a minute of Sovereign, Maine!
