A story of small town life, an older married couple in town--he has owned & run the hardware store for years, they find out he has cancer & only a little time left. A daughter that hasn't really settled down has moved back to help with his care. A son that left and hasn't come back or been heard from left town & family because he was gay & there was no acceptance. Some side stories about the neighbors and one of the pastors in town, really give the reader an insight into the town but don't take away from the man nearing the end of his life.
I read another book by this author & it too was really good, I will need to search out more by him. Maybe not happy & uplifting stories but certainly well written and true.
There are 14 WL for this book but for now will keep it. I really enjoyed but not sure as long term keeper but might be one to loan out to friends.
