About the Book Book Title: Argosy Junction Author: Chautona Havig Genre: Christian Fiction/Romance Release date: 1st edition: March 11, 2010 ; 2nd edition: August, 2018 “I want nothing to do with Jesus or God.” After over twenty years of abuses from the cult-like church she grew up in, Lane Argosy has had it with God and His people. Though the Brethren try to make Lane and her family’s lives unbearable, freedom from their warped brand of Christianity is sweet. She’ll never go back… never. He just wanted to visit the country he’d explored through books. So, when Matt Rushby arrives in Argosy Junction, Montana, he expects idyllic meadows and craggy rocks towering above, old-fashioned friendliness and at least one or two cowboys. Instead, he finds familiar hatred and factions very much like the ones back home in Rockland’s inner-city gangs. The Argosy family is disillusioned, broken, and floundering. Matt knows the answer is Jesus—just Him and not the trappings of a faith He never designed. But how can Matt help them turn their hearts back to the Lord when he suspects Lane has stolen his?

About the Author The author of dozens of books in a variety of genres, Chautona Havig lives and writes in California’s Mojave Desert where she uses story to nudge her readers to the feet of the Master Storyteller. My Review This story starts with a city person and a country person meeting in a quite funny way. Matt and Lane become good friends despite being raised quite differently . Lane's family has grown distant with God . This story has forgiveness, romance, and interesting tid bits regarding cults. You will also probably find yourself laughing a bit like with the honey and boots incident . At times this story tended to drag on a bit and you might find yourself wanting it to hurry up . Overall an enjoyable read. Disclaimer: I was given a complimentary copy of this book but all thoughts and opinions are my own honest ones.
