À propos de cet audio
Something is brewing in Raeburne's Ferry, Georgia—and it's not sweet tea.
In a small town where gossip flows, bedridden Mary Ruth McCready reigns supreme, doling out wisdom and meddling in everyone's business with a fervor that would make a matchmaker blush. When her best friend has her world rocked by a scandalous revelation from her dying husband, Mary Ruth kicks into high gear, commandeering the help of her favorite granddaughter, Sarah Elizabeth, in tracking down the truth. Finding clues in funeral condolence cards and decades-old gossip dredged up at the Blue Moon Beauty Emporium, the two stir up trouble faster than you can say "pecan pie."
But just when things are starting to look up, a blast from the past waltzes in with an outrageous claim. But as Grandma Ruth always says when things get tough, "God is too big." With him, nothing is impossible—even bringing long-held secrets to light. Grandma Ruth and Sarah just might have to ruffle a whole mess of feathers to do it.
"Mondragón masterfully weaves a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and the enduring power of truth."—Kate Angelo, best-selling romantic suspense author

[The narrator is fine but sometimes the FMC voice sounds a little immature for a 24 year-old character.]
This is very awkward for me, and it is likely just personal taste, but I never got into this book. The novel isn’t really what I was expecting from the blurb or what I know of the two-book series that came out before this. I also don’t understand what the overall message is supposed to be.
While parts of it are fun and interesting, it is mainly about gossiping and intruding into the personal business of others. So that was a very off-putting for me. I live in a small community where I find that incredibly frustrating, divisive, and problematic. I can’t even say that I particularly liked or respected Grandma Ruth and her constant, controlling demands. What I got out of the book is that gossiping and being intrusive busybodies is okay as long as you throw in some humour. ???
I didn’t find this novel to really have much of a faith aspect to it, considering the publisher, whose novels I usually love. There were a few little gloss-overs here and there.
Pet peeve: the word, “said” was repeated often in conversations.
As someone not particularly familiar with the ways in the southern states, perhaps I’m missing something.
I wanted to like the story but Preston was the only character I truly enjoyed. I’m sorry but it just was not a fit for me.
Was not for me
