        The fifth book in the Mossy Creek Series

You won't want to leave Mossy Creek!  These pages offer readers a taste of country charm with some characters that feel like family.  You may not want to have a couple of them as actual relatives, but you will feel closely connected to them!


A Day in Mossy Creek is a southern soap opera with heart.  Each chapter features a different character and is written by a different author.  Surprisingly, all of these individual units come together to form an overall look at this small town and its people.  This unique style of writing actually makes the stories more realistic, as readers seem to go from house to house collecting tantalizing tidbits of gossip.


The events in this small town are both fun and fascinating.  From yard sales to years-old yearnings, there is something in these pages that touch a chord of familiarity.  The mundane appears more meaningful when the characters are loved.  And that's where this book shines.  The people that walk through these pages are similar to those we know in real life, only better.  There is a wonderful emotional connection to them, causing the pages to turn with a steady rhythm.


I loved this book!
