This new author is great at telling a story. I loved her spin on the whole southern culture and had loved the whole story revolving around a preacher's family. There is a great theme running throughout of forgiveness and expectancy. Gilmore's perspective on life in a small town is perfected. A statement made on the last page of the book sealed the deal and made me want to post about the book.
"Daddy said that Jesus talked in parables because people have a tendency to hear but not listen. They look but do not see. "
Get the book and it is a quick read, so you still have time as your summer winds up. Now, I need some help picking up a new book. Please, help a girl out and send me your ideas.

Looks like a good one. I have been reading alot more lately, I may have to try it!
Hi--I haven't made it to your blog in a while--I've been on the everlasting vacation it seems...
This book looks great, I was raised in the south and love books set in the south. I am trying right now to think of the books I read about a year ago that were set in the south and were sooo funny. If I think of it I'll come back and let you know. For now--if you go to my blog and to the label "books" you will find a few posts about books.
I finally remembered the southern books that were so funny and such an easy read--there are three of them I think by Karen Gillespie. They are "Bet Your Bottom Dollar," "A Dollar Short," and "Dollar Daze."
I'm going to Amazon right now...the title alone is enough to draw me in! LOL!
