About this series
Nearly three years after the death of her husband and childhood friend, Maggie the minister of the Sovereign Union Church is romantically pursued by the noted environmentalist David Faulkner, who has come to teach at Unity College in central Maine. Before she knows it, she and David are engaged. Maggie believes she's done the right thing, that is, until Duncan Faulkner, David's brother, an Episcopal minister, shows up in the little town of Sovereign. Spending time with Duncan, Maggie awakens to the world of difference between the two men. She quickly discovers--too late!--that she's engaged to marry one brother, but is actually in love with the other.
Further complicating Maggie’s life, a shady investment advisor from the city, with whom she has the slightest of acquaintances, has used her name to drum up business with her friends. Should she give them a heads-up that he could be nothing more than a Wall Street wolf in sheep's clothing? Or should she keep silent and let the chips fall where they may? Unfortunately, Maggie chooses to say nothing, and as a result her best friends could lose the farm!
Funny, poignant, and soul-searching, Maggie's Dilemma, Book 5 in Jennifer Wixson's Sovereign Series (a standalone novel) reveals that life -- and love -- sometimes don't get easier when you're sixty.

- The Minister's Daughter (Book 4 in The Sovereign Series)
SHE HAD ONCE SWORN SHE WOULD NEVER RETURN TO SOVEREIGN, AND NOW ... HERE SHE WAS! Tall, blonde and beautiful, Nellie Walker, 21, daughter of Maggie the minister of the local Union church, is also self-centered and a bit of a snob. When a tragic loss leaves Nellie alone in the world, she grudgingly returns to her hometown of Sovereign, Maine and initiates a search for the father whose identity her mother has never revealed. Helping Nellie through this dark time is the compassionate country doctor, Metcalf Bartholomew Lawson, 29, known locally as Doctor Bart. With Nellie's assistance Doctor Bart realizes a long-time dream to open a free medical clinic in the studio of the late music teacher, Miss Hastings. Doctor Bart's other dream is to make Nellie his wife; however, stiff-necked Nellie naturally wants to pick her own partner and can't keep the handsome stranger Walden, the Mushroom Man, out of her mind. Who is Walden? And why has his unorthodox philosophy of land ownership caused such a stir in the small town? A magical story filled with the stuff that makes Maine wonderful--the scent of the fall woods, handmade quilts, storytelling Old Farts, obscure tidbits of history like mortgage buttons--Book 4 in Jennifer Wixson's Sovereign Series (a standalone novel) returns with your favorite Sovereign characters. The Minister's Daughter, as with all of Wixson's delightful novels, will leave you hankering after a simpler lifestyle and wondering whether you can reach Sovereign in time for suppah! PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The Minister's Daughter was meant to conclude the series; however, thanks to the encouragement of her fans, Jennifer has recently announced there will be at least two more titles, plus The Sovereign Series Cookbook slated for 2016.
