Mossy Creek
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A wonderful, funny, touching book. You will find yourself laughing out loud at times. The characters are interesting and they keep you coming back for more. Caring people who take care of their own and have a big heart. Their feud with the people from Bigelow is long standing and it runs deep. Once you finish Mossy Creek you will run to buy the next book on the "Mossy Creek Series" to reunite with old friends. Barbara
Welcome to Mossy Creek

"Welcome to Mossy Creek the town you can count on ain't goin' nowhere, and don't want to" with these words you get the flavor of life in the small southern town of Mossy Creek. The people are fiesty, funny, sad, and loving. Each chapter is a different character's story. You learn the history of the dispute between Mossy Creek and the nearby town of Bigelow. Each chapter becomes a story unto itself while characters overlap occasionally in the tales. From Miss Ida, the guardian/mayor of Moss Creek who will go to jail rather than put up a new welcome sign outside of Mossy Creek (afterall it was written by a Bigelowan!) to Casey, an Olympic hopeful whose dreams are dashed while returning from her elopement, due to a car accident which leaves her paralyzed from the waist down, you will laugh and cry with the inhabitants of this marvelous town. Come on for the ride and enjoy a few moments in Mossy Creek. It is a fast read and powerful in its emotions.
Laugh Till You Cry!

I read this book because I love Deborah Smith's work. I figured at least her stories in the book would be fantastic. I laughed so hard with the first story my husband finally asked me to share the joke. And it just got better after that. I can not wait for the next book to come out! The characters were all fun and lovable. It made me wish my small town was a wee bit smaller, Southern and full of Mossy Creekites!

This tale about the residents of Mossy Creek will warm your heart and touch your soul. It's like sitting down with good friends for a piece of warm apple pie. Delicious!
A terrific read!

This book was wonderful. Deborah's already told you what the book's about in the previous review, so I'll skip the summation for reaction. I laughed, sniffed, shouted, cried - this book was captivating. The people and stories tug on your emotions throughout. I was reading it while traveling with a friend - based on my reaction while reading, they demanded to read the book as soon as I was finished. :) I'm a librarian, and already have a long list of people to recommend it to - we'll have to buy more copies. :) This book should definitely be a hit for those who enjoyed the Mitford series, or any other books featuring strong, close-knit communities and engaging characters. It should also work well for those who enjoy reading about the South. I'm already anxious to see what happens in Mossy Creek next year (next book). :)
