Author and novelist Joy Ross Davis not only knows how to tell a good yarn, but she writes about faith without coming across as preachy. She truly has a gift when writing about angels and God without coming acorss heavy-handed. And she might even throw a couple of ghosts in for good measure, but they are seldom of the creepy, scary variety. You might even wish you had some of these "characters" in your own family tree.I loved her first novel, "Countenance," and her short story, "Olivia's Wedding,"  proves once again that Ms. Davis is not only a gifted writer, but a natural storyteller.My favorite characters in "Olivia's Wedding" were Cyrus and Marigold, and I still recall that first little goosebump that came when Livvy walked down to the barn wearing the magic dress.I look forward to more stories and novels from this delightful author from Alabama.Kathleen M.
