Take a Trip to Butternut Creek

I just finished book two of the Butternut Creek Series, The Matchmakers of Butternut Creek.    The Welcome Committee of Butternut Creek is the first.  

Let me tell you, a journey to Butternut Creek is a joy.  If follows the life of new, young pastor Adam Jordan as he navigates his way through ministry in this small Texas town.    He doesn't have to do it alone, though---some ladies in the church who call themselves The Widows are there to help them out.  With Miss Birdie as their fearless leaders, The Widows work very hard to keep Pastor Adam in line.   Adam luckily has the good sense to listen to them.  Mostly.

In the second book The Widows are determined to marry Adam off to Gussie Milton.  Adam is very drawn to Gussie but an event in her past makes her keep Adam at arms length, much to the chagrin of The Widows.

You'll laugh and you'll be touched.  I can't wait for book 3, The Wedding Planners of Butternut Creek, to come out in November!


If you are a fan of the Mitford Series or my personal favorite, the Harmony Series, you'll love Butternut Creek!
