Welcome to Mossy Creek, Georgia. A quaint little town that "ain't goin' nowhere and don't want to."
Several authors contribute short stories which introduces us to the town of Mossy Creek, Georgia and all its quirky residents, my favorite being Ida Hamilton Walker, Mayor of Mossy Creek, heir to the Hamilton legacy, and nemesis of her nephew, Governor Ham Bigalow.

It's Mossy Creek vs. Bigalow (and Hamilton's vs. Bigalow's) with Mossy Creek managing to get the upper hand most of the time. show more Whether it's Ida shooting at the new Mossy Creek sign her nephew ordered placed across from her land, or members of her Foo Club dumping the new sign ordered by her nephew, on the State House lawn, Ida can keep you laughing.

Then there is Bob, the flying Chihuahua, Sandy Bottoms Crane (she saves Bob from becoming a hawk's dinner), or Sheriff Amos Royden, who is trying to live up to his father's legacy (and keep the Mayor in line and out of jail).

The book is great light reading when your brain can't handle a heavy, cry a river type novel. show less

I really didn't know what to expect from this book. What a clever idea!

For those of you who haven't read this book yet---and you really must, btw---each chapter is a story, written in first person from a different character's point of view, and written by different authors.

I swear I want to move to Mossy Creek. Love everything starting from the welcome sign: AIN'T GOING NOWHERE, AND DON'T WANT TO.

The stories are alternately funny, sweet, touching, and sad, but mostly they're human. I show more especially liked how each character told his or her own story. It made them all so much more real.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment in this series. show less

I really liked this book until I got to the end. The last story made no sense—it was a setup for the next book in the series. I like to read series, but I prefer each book to have some kind of closure.

Story of a small town in GA that likes to do things its own way, Bunch of quirky, fun people. Enjoyable read.
