Falling for Grace: Trust at the End of the World

Trust Williams Trilogy #2

by Robert Farrell Smith

Trust Williams thought he was returning to civilization. After all, the folks in Thelma’s Way thought the Internet was the extra stitching on the backside of longjohns. But lately, Southdale seems just as zany as the boondocks, just in a different way. And Trust is starting to doubt himself, his family, even the girl by his side. Can Trust find his way through the maze of modern Mormon life-from multilevel marketing to Y2k-and win the heart of the girl of his dreams to boot? In this second volume in the Trust Williams Trilogy, Robert Farrell Smith is at it again with his contagious humor as only he can write. Don’t miss this unprecedented and playful farce that mixes in millennium mania, food storage, and Y2k with some of the most off-beat characters you’ll ever meet.

The next installment in the Trust Trilogy, and equally exaggerated in story. And equally indulgent in great punchlines and wonderful simile. Here's a writing example: "Lucy hung up the phone by throwing it across the room. It slammed up against her vanity, smashing it into a dozen pieces. The irony was completely overlooked."

When I read Robert F. Smith, I read not so much to find out what will be said, but to see how he'll say it.

I liked the first one better but this was pretty entertaining. I would love to see some of these scenes played out on t.v. Being back home we find that Trust's home ward and neighbors were just as nutty and wacky (or even more) than Thelma's Way on his mission. It was another RM story. 3 1/2 stars.

this book shows you a lot about proper welcomes and how nerve racking it can be to move somewhere. it also shows love and outgoing abilities and such. this is a wonderful book of acceptance and deception as well.

Loved it! Trust bumbles his way through this one and still ends up with the girl. He and Leonard Vastly--fanatic food storer--become heroes. I questioned which was more quirky--Thelma's Way or Thicktwig.

This was a really funny, fluffy Mormon comedy book. Apparently, it's a trilogy and I just read the second book. Oh well. I really enjoyed the characters--made me laugh! The story line is well used and predictable, but since it was a nice, light, quick read, it was just what I needed! :)

I need to find book 3...anybody?

[Marianne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Second book in the series. Same silly ridiculousness as the first book. But it did make me smile.

[Heather · Rating 2 out of 5]

I have given all three books two stars but that didn't mean I didn't enjoy reading them. They are good on a boring day where you need some silly laughs.

Just reread this with my sister a cute sequel to the first one but not nearly as good. I still love the series

[Abdmoody · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as the first. Lenard Vastly character was more fitting for someone in book 1. still a fun read!

[Susan · Rating 3 out of 5]

All three of these books are funny and totally unbelievable. Reading them is a good way to spend a gloomy day. Of course, there are good moral lessons in them, too.

He has such a way with words. So funny! Stuck in a backward southern town as a missionary - or is it so backward?

[Amy S · Rating 2 out of 5]

The second half of the book Bitten by this author. Read the combined version. See my review there.

#2 as funny as the first.

[Gena Lott · Rating 4 out of 5]

A cute sequel to Trust in Thelma's Way. Funny and cute.

This is one of the first books, besides Janitors, that the second is better than the first.
