"This is a fun book with some quirky Texas ladies in it. Anyone who goes to a Southern church totally understands the characters... anyone who enjoys an easy-to-read book with a great story line will enjoy it. I will be reading the next ones in the series."

" A feel good book when I am not in a feel good mood. "
— Beth, 2/11/2014" To slow. "
— Monica, 1/13/2014" This one was a little slow for me, but the overall story was very good, and the characters are very genuine caring and likeable people. Most likely I'll read the sequel. "
— Justin, 1/12/2014" Just a amazing story, so true to small town life and small town churches. The humor is priceless. "
— Jannette, 1/9/2014" This was just a cozy, feel good kind of story. I have an 83 year old friend who reads large print books and she and I have started a mini-book club. I knew this book would be something she would enjoy. I do think I would like to move to Butternut Creek Texas. It sounds like a wonderful place to live with such an eclectic group of people calling Butternut Creek home. "

— Kathy, 12/10/2013" bought for somebody else. was not my cup of tea. "
— Ellen, 11/30/2013" A readable book but also a bit disappointing. A story of a young Pastor settling in at his first job as Pastor. Some humour and romance but a bit long winded at times. I found it disappointing that there were too many viewpoints shown. "

— Mom, 7/6/2013" Very Mitford like, for those who followed the series and were sad to see it end. This is a book you could recommend to anyone, completely clean and uplifting. "
— Stephanie, 5/31/2013" This book was sweet and funny to anyone who has been active in a church. I did not have to guard my heart as I do with many books. Nothing too complicated. Refreshing. "
— Kaye, 4/30/2013" Cute, but ended kind of abruptly. I'd be willing to read the next book in the series though. "
