Lake Emily, Minnesota is a small, rural close-knit farming community. Trudy, a talented 30-year-old artist relocates from St. Paul to teach art in the elementary and high schools. She is impulsive, outspoken, and too often speaks before she thinks. She will likely annoy many readers â a lot â and she definitely creates unwanted attention in Lake Emily. Her sister, Mae, and her husband, Peter, work the family farm he bought from his grandmother. The sisters' mother in St Paul was extremely critical of either daughter's decision to move away from the city.
Depending on a reader's mood, this light Christian fiction could be a beach read or a story that offers a richer experience. The theme is about loss; for a loved one in the past or the result of a life-changing decision or event. To introduce a new character, the author reveals something from their past that re-defined their future, and then their chapter in the book begins.
Readers familiar with the Mitford series by Joyce Medlicott or M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin series will feel at home with the residents of Lake Emily.
