sweet things

how sweet it is“When Deena Livingston moves into her grandfather’s cabin in the mountains of North Carolina, she plans to keep to herself, start a cake-decorating business, and recover from the heartbreak she left behind in Atlanta. But a special request from Grandpa Ernest compels her to interact with the Bryson City locals, who have some surprising stoires to share with the new girl in town.

Can a Dr. Seuss-quoting plumber who shows up at the most unexpected times, a handsome social worker who seems to know exactly what Deena is thinking and a classroom full of mischievous middle-school students teach Deena to once again embrace the sweet things in life?” [back cover]

Mrs. Froese says: “SUCH a refreshing look at the foibles of standard “Christian” outlook on events in life! And really apt insights into human nature, together with gentle reminders to look at life as a blessing. I expected to be bored, but there is nothing boring about this book.
