About the Book: Strangest Town on Earth Pastor Hugh Foster: His heart was in the right place, even if, in hindsight, it appeared he’d clearly taken leave of his senses. It’s December in Road’s End, Virginia, a tiny town long forgotten by anyone but its residents, where Colonel Hugh Foster and his wife, Melanie, have chosen to live--for better or worse. The jury’s still out on that one! Road’s End is comprised entirely of senior citizens whose kids have grown and left for greener pastures. Hugh, Melanie, and Bristol (one of the few sane people in town) are faced with a crumbling church in desperate need of repair and renovation, a dwindling congregation of opinionated, ornery senior citizens, and a camel--yes, a camel. And ifthat's not enough, the trio and the rest of the Road's End residents are soon mired in danger and intrigue when a group of gun-toting drugdealers arrive in town, bent on killing the church handyman, and conspiring to ruin the doggonedest record-breaking blizzard the town has ever seen. Poor drug dealers. About the Author: Deborah Dee Harper writes from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and specializes in humorous, inspirational Christian books for both children and adults. Her novel, Misstep, is the first book in her Road’s End series for adults (although children are welcome to read them as well). She’s also written a children’s adventure series, Laramie on the Lam, that is inspirational, humorous, and full of fun. (Many of Laramie’s fans are adults!) Her website is at www.deborahdeeharper.com. My Review Misstep is the first book in The Road's End series. The background for this story is a little town in Virginia during a blizzard. I loved this story . It is some mystery mixed with some comedy. This story got me laughing along the way . Hugh and Melanie are new to town and are planning on opening an inn. You will quickly fall in love with the older characters, the little country church , and the chickens. This is one of those cozy feel good stories that is great to curl up and read on a rainy day or winter day or really any day. Great read. I will have to read more from this series and this author. Disclaimer : I was given a complimentary copy of this book but all thoughts and opinions are my own honest ones.
