"In each of (these) dozen stories, North showcases her charming, quirky style: part elegant structure, part comic gold." ~~Cindy Harrison, Romantic Times BookClub review, www.romantictimes.com Read the rest of the review on my Reviews page. ______________________________________
Farley Brothers Drugs & Sundries, 12 stories from the Heartland
Farley Brothers Drugs & Sundries is a collection of short stories set in small towns. Sissy, tomboy protagonist in the title story, types wills for a lawyer, pitches softball, and yearns for "a life." In "Allie's Daring Adventure," a middle-aged housewife decides to add zing to her love life and plots to seduce her dedicated fisherman husband. "Cousin Stan Turns on the Charm" features Stan, who hoodwinks the ladies in his retirement trailer park until his more truthful cousin Roy comes to visit. "Driving Delbert Lemieux's Second-best Hearse" follows the misadventures of two feckless buddies as they attempt to deliver a corpse. In "A Man of Means," the protagonist struggles to become someone important, someone the townspeople admire. Dale, in "My Brother's Wife," moves in with his brother's widow and learns that the wild life isn't always the good life. Twelve stories in all, this collection offers laughter-and a tear or two--at our human foibles.

Paradise
isn't always perfect, especially when it's a run down fishing
resort held together by a tough but vulnerable widow, three contentious
kids and a grandmother who always manages to get the last word.
Throw an overdue mortgage, cranky guests and a crooked politician
into the mix, and the only thing that can save Fisherman's Paradise
is the proverbial white knight in shining armor. Unfortunately,
Marigold Adams gets Tom Soebieski: a burned out, know-it-all
middle school teacher. His armor isn't merely tarnished, it's
non-existent, but whether Mari knows it or not, Tom's exactly
what she needs.
