Southbound Birds - Paperback

by Janetta Fudge-Messmer (Author)

Rose and Larry Wilford are hitting the highway on their next RV adventure. Ben and Betsy Stevenson are right behind them in their 5th wheel. The other two Early Birds, Jeff and Mary Wells, promise to hook up with them as soon as they finish some 'business' in Colorado.On their way to Florida, the foursome make a stop in Mississippi. Soon Rosie wonders if they'll ever get On the Road Again. The RVs have stalled in Biloxi and it has nothing to do with mechanical issues in any of their rigs.

 They've found another church that needs their help. Rose, Betsy and Mary spend their days as fashion consultants, dressing young women for success (or as Rosie says, "Playing dress up."). Larry, Ben and Jeff, they're up to their eyeballs in sheetrock and drywall mud, and any other handyman task they can find to do.The one thing Rosie has decided, if and when they start traveling toward the Sunshine State, she'll still occupy the passenger seat of their dually. No driving for her. Larry can pester her all he wants. And the fact her bestest friend, Betsy, drove their albatross on I-10 and lived to tell about it, won't change her mind either. The only way Rose will get behind the wheel is if the Lord, Himself, figures out a way to put her there. 'Cause at the moment, F.E.A.R. is her middle name.Instead of legally changing her name or letting trepidation win, Rosie does what she does best. She PRAYS. Larry, on the other hand, is having troubles too. His prayer is that their 5th wheel survives his driving and he's not sure it will. One more mishap and he's handing the keys to his wife.

The Early Birds continue to have as many surprises as the state of Florida has palm trees. So why don't you come along, if you dare. Rose, Larry, Ben, Betsy, Jeff and Mary (and some new friends) would love to have you join them on their travels across the U.S.A.
