Reading Report

By now, you have realized that I primarily read nonfiction. But this week, I indulged in a novel, strictly for pleasure. I picked this one up because it was recommended to me as a lover of Fannie Flagg  (author of Fried Green Tomatoes). And, I was not disappointed. Susan Gregg Gilmore definitely writes in a similar manner and made me want to jump into the pages to participate in a simpler time and way of life.

Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen written By Susan Gregg Gilmore

Catherine Grace Cline is a girl who has lost her mother. She is raised by her father, who is a small town minister, along with her younger sister, Martha Ann.  Her hope and dream is to one day escape from her small town and make her way to the big city. But what she discovers along the way is that those she loves most, are not what they seem. This changes her heart and offers her the salvation that she has longed for all of her life.

This story has it all: love and laughter, tragedy and sorrow, pain and forgiveness. It captures rural, small town life at its best and its worst, with a little bit of the unexpected in between. So, if you are looking for a good read that will put a smile on your face and make you wish that it wouldn’t end, this is the book for you.
