In the Neighborhood of Normal - Paperback

by Cindy Maddox (Author)

Eighty-two-year-old Mish Atkinson from Fair Valley, West Virginia, is determined she's going to make something of the time she has left on this earth. When a text message on her new smart phone leads to an encounter with a woman she believes is Jesus, Mish is eager to obey the woman's instructions to follow the love. She knows that Jeff, the gay pastor at her church, think she's lost her marbles, but now that her husband is gone, she's not going to let anyone put a damper on her sunshine. And when a pregnant teen needs her help, it doesn't matter that she doesn't know the difference between STDs and DVDs, she follows the love--in for a penny, in for a dollar, as she always says. Following the love is exciting and meaningful... until it costs much more than dollars and cents.
