Grandma Ruth Doesn’t Go to Funerals

Description

“Mondragón masterfully weaves a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and the enduring power of truth. With a cast of flawed but endearing characters and plenty of Southern charm, Grandma Ruth Doesn’t Go to Funerals will stay with you long after you turn the final page.”
—Kate Angelo, best-selling romantic suspense author

In a small town where gossip flows like sweet tea, 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, Charlotte Harrington, has her world rocked by a scandalous revelation from her dying husband P. B., 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.”

And just when things are starting to look up, in waltzes Camilla “Millie” Holtgrew, a blast from P. B.’s past, with a grown son and an outrageous claim to Charlotte’s inheritance. But as Grandma Ruth always says when things get tough, “God is too big.” With him, nothing is impossible–even bringing long-held secrets to light. Grandma Ruth and Sarah just might have to ruffle a whole mess of feathers to do it.

“A book you will want to read, then keep around to read again.”
—Patricia Sprinkle, author of the Thoroughly Southern Mystery series
