If I’m totally honest, the primary reason I signed up to be on Chautona Havig’s launch team last year was so that I could read about Aggie. Of course, I love her other books, too, but Aggie is my favorite character. My introduction to Mrs. Havig’s books was the first Aggie’s Inheritance book, Ready or Not, in which Aggie, freshly graduated from college at age 22, suddenly inherits her sister’s 8 children. I loved the book so much that my daughter gave me an Amazon gift card to get me to buy the other two books in that trilogy! That was over a year ago, and I’ve been waiting impatiently since then for more about Aggie. It’s finally here! Ante Up! publishes this week, on the 26th of June, but it is available for preorder already. If you do purchase the book, any time between now and July 7, you can ask for the bonus that Chautona wrote. It is a devotional with a chapter for each chapter of the book, exploring the song that was used for the title of that chapter. I’ve read the devotional, Tune My Heart, already and it is very good. One thing that especially spoke to me was a sentence in Chapter 15: “Mrs. Keary said that she believed those things that interrupt our great plans were sent by God to keep us from becoming selfish.”
In some ways, Ante Up! is my favorite of the series.
I have moved this review to Esther’s website, so go there to read the rest.
To get your own copy of this wonderful, encouraging book, the Kindle version is available here, and the print version here.
I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. If you read this, Chautona Havig, thank you very much for allowing me to be on your launch team!
WARNING: Not a story for children or men; there are a lot of details about pregnancy and labor.
Great review!
Thank you!
