Welcome to Mossy Creek, your hometown. You'll find a friendly face at every window, and a story behind every door. We've got a mayor who cleans her own gun, and a Police Chief who doesn't need one. We've got scandal at the coffee shop and battles on the ballfield, a cantankerous Santa and a flying Chihuahua. You'll want to meet Rainey, the hairdresser with a tendency toward hysteria, and Hank, who takes care of our animals like they were his children. Don't forget to stop in for a bite at Mama's All You Can Eat Café, and while you're there say hello to our local celebrity, Sue Ora. Like as not, she'll sit you right down and tell you a story.

Story of a small town in GA that likes to do things its own way, Bunch of quirky, fun people. Enjoyable read.

Not much to say about this one. It was a free download for Kindle; I was hoping for Bailey White but got Barely Amusing instead. ( )

I really liked this book until I got to the end. The last story made no sense—it was a setup for the next book in the series. I like to read series, but I prefer each book to have some kind of closure. ( )

In the spirit of the Jan Karon stories, these are collections of stories about small town life, and especially the town 'characters'. This is a wonderful gentle read. ( )

Welcome to Mossy Creek, Georgia. A quaint little town that "ain't goin' nowhere and don't want to."
Several authors contribute short stories which introduces us to the town of Mossy Creek, Georgia and all its quirky residents, my favorite being Ida Hamilton Walker, Mayor of Mossy Creek, heir to the Hamilton legacy, and nemesis of her nephew, Governor Ham Bigalow.

It's Mossy Creek vs. Bigalow (and Hamilton's vs. Bigalow's) with Mossy Creek managing to get the upper hand most of the time. Whether it's Ida shooting at the new Mossy Creek sign her nephew ordered placed across from her land, or members of her Foo Club dumping the new sign ordered by her nephew, on the State House lawn, Ida can keep you laughing.

Then there is Bob, the flying Chihuahua, Sandy Bottoms Crane (she saves Bob from becoming a hawk's dinner), or Sheriff Amos Royden, who is trying to live up to his father's legacy (and keep the Mayor in line and out of jail).

The book is great light reading when your brain can't handle a heavy, cry a river type novel. ( )

First words
I was six years old, the year was 1950, and the torch of stubborn Mossy Creek pride was about to pass to me in true Mossy Creek style.
