My Review
The need each other more than they know...
A Home For Her Daughter was one of the rare times that I wanted to read a book based solely on the cover. I'd not read anything by Jill Weatherholt before but that little girl with the baby chick in her hands was just SO CUTE! I couldn't resist. Didn't even really try.
And I did enjoy A Home For Her Daughter. It was such a heartwarming story of love and loss, grief and grace, family and faith, and of regret and redemption. Precocious little Riley and her desire for an animal menagerie was so adorable, and, whether author Jill Weatherholt intended it or not, she really stole the show.
Jill Weatherholt's newest book was a good read. It provided a nice break from longer novels as well as from all the bad news that seems to be dominating the world right now. The characters in A Home For Her Daughter don't have it easy by any means but it was still fun to check out of a world gone crazy and into a story with a sweet romance and a happy ending...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives A Home For Her Daughter by Jill Weatherholt a 4 Bark rating.

More from Jill
I have a confession. I own a collection of journals. A huge collection. At last count, there were sixty-two beautifully bound books, some with plain covers, others with verses or artistic designs. You could say I’m a hoarder, but I find comfort in knowing I have an unlimited number of blank pages to record my hopes, dreams and prayers. That’s exactly what I did on June 22, 2008. On that day, I wrote the following:
 | I want to be a writer, not just a writer who keeps a journal or casually writes stories. I want to be a published writer. Lately, I’ve become obsessed with reading author’s websites, their bios, how they got started writing and how difficult or easy it was for them to get published. This is what I want to do with my life. This is what I will do. I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. God has put this dream in my heart and now I will pursue this dream. |
Fast forward to March 31, 2015. I made a last-minute decision to enter Harlequin Love Inspired Blurb to Book Contest. I submitted a one sentence blurb, along with one page of the first and only book I’d ever written.
On April 13, 2015, I was stunned to learn I had advanced in the contest. I then submitted a synopsis and the first three chapters.

| On May 15th, I was notified I had moved on in the contest. I was required to submit the entire manuscript. At that time, the book was merely a rough draft, so a lot of rewriting was required before my deadline. On August 17, 2015, I received a call that forever changed my life. While working my day job, my cell phone rang—it was New York calling. An editor from Harlequin had called to offer me a contract on the first book I’d ever written. My first book Second Chance Romance was released on March 1, 2017. |  |
Five published books later, I still fill my journals with my dreams and prayers.
