This book was enjoyable and fun to read. The stories are really corny but funny. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

I really didn't know what to expect from this book. What a clever idea!
For those of you who haven't read this book yet---and you really must, btw---each chapter is a story, written in first person from a different character's point of view, and written by different authors.

The stories are alternately funny, sweet, touching, and sad, but mostly they're human. I especially liked how each character told his or her own story. It made them all so much more real.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment in this series.

Welcome to Mossy Creek, Georgia. A quaint little town that "ain't goin' nowhere and don't want to."
Several authors contribute short stories which introduces us to the town of Mossy Creek, Georgia and all its quirky residents, my favorite being Ida Hamilton Walker, Mayor of Mossy Creek, heir to the
It's Mossy Creek vs. Bigalow (and Hamilton's vs. Bigalow's) with Mossy Creek managing to get the upper hand most of the time. Whether it's Ida shooting at the new Mossy Creek sign her nephew ordered placed across from her land, or members of her Foo Club dumping the new sign ordered by her nephew, on the State House lawn, Ida can keep you laughing.
Then there is Bob, the flying Chihuahua, Sandy Bottoms Crane (she saves Bob from becoming a hawk's dinner), or Sheriff Amos Royden, who is trying to live up to his father's legacy (and keep the Mayor in line and out of jail).
The book is great light reading when your brain can't handle a heavy, cry a river type novel.

In the spirit of the Jan Karon stories, these are collections of stories about small town life, and especially the town 'characters'. This is a wonderful gentle read.

I really liked this book until I got to the end. The last story made no sense—it was a setup for the next book in the series. I like to read series, but I prefer each book to have some kind of closure.

Not much to say about this one. It was a free download for Kindle; I was hoping for Bailey White but got Barely Amusing instead.
