Praises for By design 2:
“In a frantic world where people are too busy and often distant, it is lovely to “come home” to Brad and Anne. They are genuine people, with real struggles that they refused to allow overwhelm them. As you turn the pages, you’ll find yourself wanting to spend more time with the Youngs as By Design II is an encouraging read. This book pulls you aside from your daily routine and puts you into a truly heartwarming, loving family. Come on in! They’ve left the light on for you!”
– Suzanne Roberts, Women’s Mentor and author of Power Up
“By Design II satisfies and inspires as it continues the story of a young couple, Brad and Anne Young and the unexpected twist and turns of their commitment to each other, their family and their community. The sequel reveals a refreshing and enjoyable sense of purpose as you follow along on their journey with laughter and a few tears. I loved By Design and didn’t think a sequel could get any better, but it did! I love, love, love By Design II. J Boykin Baker is truly a gifted writer.”
– T. Leonard, Coastal Printing
