The people in the town have problems and faults, but they are, for the most part good and they act in a realistic manner. As the story progresses, bits of background and information are slipped into the story line to let a new reader, or remind a former reader who the characters are and what has happened before. The surroundings and even the smells are well described, so that you are drawn into the story, not just by the people but by the setting around them.
This new novel deals with two main stories, a runaway and a wife of the town curmudgeon who wants to take her in; and a divorced woman who might find romance.
