On my gosh!
Sharon Sala NEVER disappoints!
Such a wonderful story. You just feel for Floy and everything he went through. I love how he didn't run away and hide after unfounded accusations were lodged against him. He didn't get revenge, he quietly made them aware he was mad at them through his business.
That it took a heroic act on his part to finally get the town to apologize to him even when they knew those accusations weren't true was a lesson on friendship that they needed to learn.
And the worst perpetrators got their just reward!
Nice quick read.
Absolutely fabulous!

Another hit by Sharon Sala

I really enjoyed this book. Some humor, some heartbreak. Justice is served. Betrayal is eventually turned into acceptance and forgiveness. I loved Elvis the snake. He is the reason for good changes in Floy’s life.

Will be reading it again for the sense of southern life and home. Thanks, Ms Sala for a few happy hours.

Sharon Sala never fails to deliver a great read

The humor always catches me. I never wondered before -how often men worry about the dangly bits! I read everything this author writes.

Another awesome read

Could not put it down. Read if in one sitting. I need more. I hope the characters from this book become the next town of Blessing.

FUN READ

As usual a quick read because Sala writes a great story. A comical read with a lesson in life that some folks need to learn. Selfish doesn’t work.

Enjoyed the story

I enjoy all of Sharon Salas books... But this felt unfinished. I felt a little let dow. Wanted to see Floyd get his happy ever after.

Sharon Sala Book

The book was so good. I kept reading because there were no ugly words or scenes. From beginning to end it worth the time.

Good book

What a fun and crazy book. Didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed it. A big snake called Elvis and a stupid wife. What could go wrong.
