Book Overview
The townsfolk in Pleasant Cross, North Carolina, carry a healthy suspicion of the three generations of Ivy women. Each Ivy woman has been blessed with the gift of Knowing, but it's eighteen-year-old Tessa and her unique powers that cause folks to raise their eyebrows. When Rev. Renfrow and his son, Sterling, roll into town with their Airstream trailer and special brand of faith, things will never be the same, as a tragic secret is uncovered and the Ivy women learn the true meaning of kinship and hope.

I Wasn't Disappointed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is not the sort of novel I usually read, but I bought it because Malachy McCourt recommended it, and I wasn't disappointed. It is, indeed, a beautifully written, sweet, sad coming-of-age story, with a lot of local color. Thank you, Malachy, for recommending this delightful tale. [email protected]

Another wonder story by Lynne Hinton
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I devoured The Things I Know Best in only two days. Lynne Hinton has a gift for taking us into the story and holding us there until the final page. The paper is her canvas and well-chosen words are the medium for guiding us into the settings she creates. She writes simply yet fully. I love her style and her stories. I only wish that there had been a few more chapters to this wonderful novel.
