when this very slow moving novel finally gets to the end...it ends well

This book started slowly for me, and I almost put it down. However, I am glad I persisted.
The major characters are rather dysfunctional, but as the story "gells", they work quite well together to advance the story. The quirkiness of the small town setting adds to the development of the story. Plot twists keep one's interest.
If female fiction or Southern fiction appeals to you, you will like this book. I certainly enjoyed it.

This is a great first novel by Mindy Friddle. The Garden Angel is found in the family cemetary in the back yard of the Johanson family home. Cutter spend the entire story trying to save the family home from being sold as her sister and brother want the money over the family heritage. The book is a mix of laughs and sadness as the action unwinds. I enjoyed the book and wanted to know more about the characters even after the story ends.
