The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade

by Virginia Smith

Overview

In this first book of the Tales from the Goose Creek B&B, you'll fall in love with a small town that feels like coming home. Its quirky characters and their many shenanigans will make you laugh out loud as they touch a place in your heart.

Even though retirement is still three years away, Al Richardson is counting the days. He anticipates many enjoyable years in which every day feels like Saturday. But Al's wife, Millie, has different plans for their retirement. When she learns that a Victorian-era home is up for sale, Millie launches a full-blown campaign to convince Al that God's plan for them is to turn that house into a B&B.

But a B&B won't be the only change for the small Kentucky town. A new veterinarian has hung up her shingle, but she's only got one patient—the smelly dog belonging to her part-time receptionist. And sides are being taken in the issue of the water tower, which needs a new coat of paint...but no one can agree who should paint it.

The situation is coming to a head. Who could have imagined a town protest over a water tower? And who would believe it could culminate in an illegal parade?

Get lost in a novel that reminds you why you love reading.

Editorial Reviews

"A delightful read. If you've lived in a small town, or even visited one, you'll know that Virginia Smith's story is spot on! I especially liked the variety of 'recipes' in the book, including lemon cake, dog biscuits, and creating a healthy crabitat among others. I want another Goose Creek book!

More trouble is brewing over who will paint the town's water tower after the son of a longtime "Creeker" resident with questionable color choices is again up for a vote to refurbish it. VERDICT Smith (Dangerous Impostor; coauthor with Lori Copeland of the "Seattle Brides" books) launches a charming small-town series that introduces the quirky residents of Goose Creek.
