Description

Beloved writer Sean Dietrich--also known as Sean of the South--will warm your heart with this rich and nostalgic tale of a small-town sheriff, a mysterious little girl, and a good-hearted community pulling together to help her.

Folks in Moab live for ice cream socials, baseball, and the local paper's weekly gossip column. Sheriff Winston Browne has watched over Moab with a generous eye for a decade, and by now he's used to handling the daily dramas that keep life interesting for Moab's quirky residents.

But just after Winston receives some terrible, life-altering news, a seemingly mute runaway with no clear origin arrives in Moab.  The residents do what they believe is right and take her in--until two suspicious strangers arrive and begin looking for her. Suddenly Winston has a child in desperate need of protection--as well as a secret of his own to keep.

With the help of Moab's goodhearted townsfolk, the humble and well-meaning Winston Browne still has some heroic things to do. He finds romance, family, and love in unexpected places. He stumbles upon adventure, searches his soul, and grapples with the past. In doing so, he just might discover what a life well-lived truly looks like.

Sometimes ordinary people do the most extraordinary things of all.

"This warm, witty, tender novel celebrates the power of friendship and family to transform our lives . . . I loved it." --Ariel Lawhon, New York Times bestselling author of The Frozen River

"Make no mistake. [This] is a classic story, told by an expert storyteller." --Shawn Smucker, author of Light from Distant Stars

With dry humor and compassion, beloved writer Sean Dietrich highlights the good of humanity and the light that's always just around the corner. This standalone novel includes discussion questions, which makes it perfect for book clubs. Also by Sean Dietrich: Kinfolk, Over Yonder, Stars of Alabama, and You Are My Sunshine

Reviews

  • Small town, romance, danger, baseball, life and death. What could be better

    Sean Dietrich painted a picture of my favorite place on earth — a small rural southern town. A place where everyone knows everyone else and secrets cannot be kept unless you don’t tell them to anyone at all. Dietrich’s writing draws you in, with quirky descriptives and well-painted pictures. And then, strange happenings around a run-away child to really stir things up. I finished this book in record time, avoiding all sorts of things I should have been doing instead of reading. Give yourself a treat with this gem of a book.

  • Life-we all have it, and lose it

    Knowing what’s going to happen can still hit you hard when it does. We know from early on which way this read will go but the getting there weaves a timeless story. Wonderfully real and relatable characters. A bit slow set up but worth reading every line.

  • How would you describe death?

    This is a very different kind of book. Winston was a different kind of man, too. His town, Moab, Fla. was small but important!

  • Great story

    I just started reading books again. This book was very interesting and very good reading. It was very easy to identify and keep up with the characters. I find that there’s nothing good to see on television. So I started reading.

  • Simply wonderful!

    From start to finish, I could not put this book down! I laughed, and cried and felt like I became part of Moab, FL. I was so sad when I finished the book! Loved every word!

  • Incredible!
