Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Grandma Ruth Doesn’t Go To Funerals by Sharon Mondragon hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
I really enjoyed the first book that I read by Sharon J Mondragon, so I was excited to be invited to read her newest book, Grandma Ruth Doesn't Go To Funerals and share my review.
As I started to read the first chapter, I quickly learned why Grandma Ruth doesn't go to funerals, so of course, I wanted to keep reading to find out why that was important to the story. Grandma Ruth was the true matriarch of the family and a person with clout in town. She had a way of getting her way and through her grandaughter, seeking answers she couldn't find from home. Soon I found myself deep in the mystery, trying to figure out what Mrs. Harrington's late husband meant by what he had said to her just before passing.
The book was steeped with family and the type of traditions that I have always associated with the South. You couldn't help but love the quirks of each member of the story. I found myself rooting for them in the journeys, discovering the answers to the questions they were seeking and finding new connections. After meeting so many of the characters and the traditions and care they have for one another (and a bit of gossipy, nosiness even), I must say that Raeburne's Ferry, Georgia would be a good place to live. Every one might know your business but you know that they are looking out for you too. I simply loved the endeavor that Grandma Ruth and Mrs Harrington were working on as a way for Mrs Harrington to give back to the community with the money that she had inherited. It was the type of idea that simply warms the soul, finding a place for both the young and the old to give back to one another.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend you check it out.
About the Book
Title: Grandma Ruth Doesn’t Go To Funerals
Something is brewing in Raeburne's Ferry, Georgia--and it's not sweet tea.
In a small town where gossip flows, bedridden Mary Ruth McCready reigns supreme, doling out wisdom and meddling in everyone's business with a fervor that would make a matchmaker blush. When her best friend has her world rocked by a scandalous revelation from her dying husband, Mary Ruth kicks into high gear, commandeering the help of her favorite granddaughter, Sarah Elizabeth, in tracking down the truth. Finding clues in funeral condolence cards and decades-old gossip dredged up at the Blue Moon Beauty Emporium, the two stir up trouble faster than you can say "pecan pie."PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Kregel Publications | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Christianbook
