Book Description

Welcome to Mossy Creek, your home town. You'll find a friendly face at every window, and a story behind every door.

We've got a mayor who cleans her own gun, and Police Chief who doesn't need one. We've got scandal at the coffee shop and battles on the ballfield, a cantankerous Santa and a flying Chihuahua. You'll want to meet Rainey, the hairdresser with a tendency toward hysteria, and Hank, who takes care of our animals like they were his children. Don't forget to stop in for a bite at Mama's All You Can Eat Café, and while you're there say hello to our local celebrity, Sue Ora. Like as not, she'll sit you right down and tell you a story. People are like that in Mossy Creek.

Award winning authors Debra Dixon, Donna Ball, Sandra Chastain, Virginia Ellis, Nancy Knight, and Deborah Smith (Sweet Tea and Jesus Shoes) come together once again to blend their unique southern voices into a collection of tales about the South, this time focusing their talents on the fictional town of Mossy Creek, Georgia. Chances are, you'll recognize it. But even if you don't, you'll want to come back, again and again.
So welcome to Mossy Creek, the town that ain't going nowhere and don't want to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to Mossy Creek October 8, 2002
Format:Paperback
"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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific read! July 30, 2001
Format:Paperback
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). :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh Till You Cry! June 21, 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
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!

That's about it! Isn't it ridiculous how you have to enter a minmum amount of words to give a product review. Makes you not want to leave a review.
