Search - The Garden Angel

I love Southern fiction and this was no exception. This is a wonderful debut novel from Mindy Friddle. The characters are quirky,funny and believable. Ms. Friddle paints beautiful pictures with her words and I felt like I was sitting on Cutter's crumbling old porch watching the story unfold. So cozy and warm, I hated to see it end. Can't wait for her next book.

I really enjoyed this tale about the redemptive power of friendship, as well as touching on the nuances of living in a family in which you don't quite fit.

This book seemed to start out slow for me, but I stuck with and am glad that I did. I ended up loving the characters and how they helped each other through difficult times in their lives. The ending really surprised me, in a good way. Not at all what I would have expected, which I always enjoy. There were some quite humorous scenes that made me laugh out loud. Cutter is a unique character and somebody that it would be fun to hang out with.

Enjoyable book. The story of an unlikely friendship between two women.

Wonderful souithern fiction....I was only able to part with this book because I loved it enough to want in hard cover.
