Sixty Acres and a Bride
By Regina Jennings
Like several other readers, when I read the last page of
this book, I was wishing it was longer, I was wanting more of this wonderful
story. Regina Jennings’ debut novel, “Sixty Acres and a Bride” is a book well
worth your time and money.
Does this story sound a little familiar? Is this modern day
Ruth, Naomi and Boaz or what? Rosa Garner and her mother-in-law Louise have
recently lost their husbands in a Mexican earthquake and Rosa agrees to go back
to her hometown in Texas. Immediately hard time hit these two ladies and they
both strike out to save Louise’s ranch. Rosa was content in helping her
mother-in-law, and after a no love marriage, the last thing she thought about
was another man. But that was before she met her husband’s cousin, Weston
Garner. Weston has his own past issues that he didn’t like to think about.
Could these two overcome the hurts and difficulties of their past and make a
life with each other?
Rita Jennings creates a cast of characters that will take
hold of your heart and keep it until well after you finish the book. Rosa was a
special, humble young lady that I loved from the beginning. And I really was
routing for she and Weston. I was so intrigued with this story that I couldn’t put
it down. And I can’t wait for more books from Regina Jennings. She is now a new
favorite author for me!

About the Author
See me laughing. That’s what I do when someone calls me an author. Yes, it’s always been my dream, but I still can’t keep from giggling over it.
Other things I am – a Christ-follower, a wife, a homeschooling mother of four, a graduate of Oklahoma Baptist University, and a voracious reader.
Getting reading time isn’t easy. Seems like my family does more than our share of traveling. My husband is an insurance adjuster (I know, save the hate mail) and travels with the catastrophe team often. That’s allowed us to see a lot of the United States. True many times it’s in the middle of a hurricane or blizzard, but after spending three weeks in a hotel room with six people, you’ll brave anything to get out and see the sights – no matter how damaged they might be.
We also serve on the Missions Team at an amazing church, so we break out the passports frequently. Highlights include singing at a leper colony in India, holding church inside a Mexican prison and showing the Jesus film to a tribe in Senegal who’d never heard the gospel.
But I don’t have to go far away for unusual. My family provides plenty of colorful material with their love for practical jokes, pithy observations and strong agricultural roots. Because of the family business, a significant chunk of my life has been spent at sale barns and auctions – often behind the scales where I weigh pigs. I like to think of myself as a “redneck bluestocking” but I brought an entire marketing team’s discussion to a screeching halt when I said those words, so you didn’t hear it from me.
When I have spare time I love to talk books and quirky characters (real and fictional).
