Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Occasionally, a simple book feels like home, and its characters become cherished friends. These vignettes will doubtless become favorites, not only for the quarter of a million people who enjoyed Gulley's Front Porch Tales, but also for new readers who will respond to the Garrison Keillor- style humor and pathos of fictional Harmony, Ind. The town's characters include the wise Quaker pastor who narrates the book; a childless couple who spend their life savings (and then some) to wrest their niece from the grip of her alcoholic parents; and the narrow-minded church elder who "knew just enough Scripture to be annoying, but not enough to be transformed." This book is pure joy.

From AudioFile
Some people are blessed to know what they have when they have it, needing no ruby slippers to remind them that "there's no place like home." Quaker pastor Sam Gardner wants to spend the rest of his life in his hometown of Harmony. He appreciates the simple joys, as well as the hilarious quirks of human nature he finds there. Philip Gulley's collection of short stories captures the essence of small-town, congregational life with gentleness and perception. In telling his own stories, he quietly, yet compellingly, captures the town and its inhabitants. His love for them all, even the ones he doesn't like very much, shines through the humor and introspection that make this collection one to treasure.
