This review is from: The Shining Badge: 1931 (The House of Winslow #31) (Paperback)

The Shining Badge is another good book in the House of Winslow series written by Gilbert Morris. The story line is a little unbelievable in that a young girl with no experience is elected to be the sheriff of this small town. Otherwise the story is good showing the Christian values of a good family during the depression years.

Jenny Winslow's family lost just about everything in the stock market crash of '29. She had a rough time of making the transition to their new rural digs, but in this book, she comes alive again. When moonshiners and dirty politicians team up, very few will stand. In the heat of the moment over a witnessed injustice, Jenny vows to run for sheriff. Imagine her surprise when she wins the election. Now only she an a few good men stand between a small town and greedy ruffians.
