L. B. Johnson, from ‘Home on the Range‘ blog has her third book and first fiction novel out!
It’s titled ‘Small Town Roads‘.
The blurb:
Evelyn Ahlgren, a widow, and retired schoolteacher enjoys the comforts of her little home and her surrounding neighborhood. That’s why she is intrigued to see what her new neighbor, a young woman named Rachel Raines, will add to their small town.
Rachel has just left the city with a Criminal Justice degree. She had thought she wanted a carefree city life, not a job as a rookie cop in a town whose only restaurant has a life-sized plastic cow on the roof.
Sometimes God has other plans for us.
Evelyn befriends her young neighbor, finding out she has endured a lot of grief for one so young, that sorrow taking her on a directionless path instead of one lit by the Holy Spirit. As heart-breaking as that is to see, Evelyn believes that God brought the two together to find renewed purposes in His Will, and the two begin an unlikely friendship that surpasses age, knowledge, and life experiences.
When Rachel is caught up in an unexpected act of violence while out on patrol, her whole life changes, as does her look at her future and her faith.
Small Town Roads effortlessly captures the unique perspective that small towns bestow on those who live there. Mrs. Johnson shows that the confines of a small town can contain a healing spirit that can soothe the difficulties of the past while providing hope in God for tomorrow’s future.
LB is a long time friend, and she definitely has a ‘way’ with words. She’s an Amazon best selling author, and if you want to know what small town life is like, this book gives you a good look into it.
Make no mistake, this is a book that is uplifting, beautifully written and evocative of how one CAN turn a life around…
Highly recommended!!!
