Don Reid’s face on the flyleaf of this book will look familiar to most of us. He is one of the Statler Brothers, a southern country/gospel group that has been around a while. Don writes music but also is a writer of fiction. This story is set in his native Virginia in the late 1950’s and introduces us to several of the citizens of Mt. Jefferson much like Staunton, Mr. Reid’s hometown. It is just a few days before Christmas and trouble is brewing. From troubled teens, troubled marriages, and troubled friendships, we and the characters in Oh, Little Town, learn some good lessons, the main one being forgiveness.
A story for all ages, Oh, Little Town is a quick read but won’t quickly be forgotten.

Thank you, Judy, for finding this jewel for us. I hope to have it in the library for everyone very soon. I couldn't wait, so I borrowed it from the 7 day books at Patrick Beaver. Everyone should watch for it on the Fiction shelf soon.
