In this and the previous House of Hope novels, Gabby Fairbanks often depended on her friend Harry Bentley, but you’ve seen Harry only through Gabby’s eyes and may not realize he is a retired Chicago cop who put himself on the line by blowing the whistle on a corrupt and dangerous colleague.
He and Estelle are “an item,” but have you been on a date with them?
He’s raising his grandson, but why?
He saves Gabby’s estranged husband from being shot, but how?
He’s found faith through the Yada Yada Brothers’ Bible study group, but can it carry him through the most frightening experience of his life?
The Yada Yada Brothers novels by Dave Jackson parallel Neta’s House of Hope novels and represent a different kind of reading enjoyment, three-dimensional literature, if you will. It’s something that only a husband and wife writing team could pull off. Each novel stands alone but takes place in the same time frame, same neighborhood, involving some of the same characters living through their own dramas and crises but interacting with and affecting one another . . . just the way it happens in real life.
This is why readers of Harry Bentley’s Second Chance, the first Yada Yada Brothers novel say . . .
• “Got it, read it, loved it, will recommend it! Can’t wait for the next book.”
• “I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the idea of parallel novels! This is absolutely amazing!”
• “Harry Bentley’s Second Chance was just as exceptional as Where Do I Go? and the whole Yada Yada series.”
Enjoy the following Prologue to the second Yada Yada Brothers novel, Harry Bentley’s Second Sight. It corresponds primarily to events in Who Do I Lean On? Neta’s third book in her House of Hope series (the book you’re holding in your hands), with a tiny peek ahead into Neta’s fourth book, Who Is My Shelter?
