review 1: What a warm and whimsically written book. I felt like I wanted to visit Ella Louise and talk to the townspeople. I laughed several times out loud...very loud. What a touching group of stories of family, faith and community. I wish the world was more like this in reality. I felt such peace after finishing this collection of stories. Kudos to the author on a well written story of life in a small town. Very believable; it told the good with the bad in a way that was tasteful...even the not pretty parts.
review 2: I was looking for something that I could read in fits and spurts. Something I could pick up, get some enjoyment out of for 10 minutes or so, but then put down. This book worked perfectly!In essence, it's a collection of short stories, loosely held toget... moreher by having the characters all reside in the same town. An interesting strategy for short story writers. The author had the freedom of introducing a variety of people from a variety of backgrounds, without having to weave them all into one plot. To give you a flavor: there was an elderly pair of sisters that learn they need hearing aids, an earring wearing, teenage boyscout that goes to live with his eccentric uncle for the summer, and a grandson that never lets on to grandma that he doesn't wear Old Spice. There's humor, a tiny tinge of sadness here and there, but mostly just snippets of life--captured and recorded.In short, this book's like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day--the warmth and sweetness of these stories will make you smile. less
