Review: What a great boxed set!

I became aware of Ms. Nolfi's writing while reading her contribution to "Coffee Break Reads." I loved her story, but was disappointed that it was a "teaser" and not a complete story - however - it made me want to get to know the people of Liberty, Ohio. What better way than to read the first 2 books as part of a boxed set?  I LOVED both books. The characters are fun, quirky, believable, real. The stories move quickly and engage you from the start.  Ms. Nolfi has a wonderful talent for making you feel like you've known her characters forever - and would like to get to know them better. The writing is so good, so connected, and so detailed, that each book stands alone, but they seamlessly connect, too, as relationships build and time marches on.  I grew up in a small town in central PA and now live in Erie, so the location of Liberty, Ohio, hit familiar notes on many levels. I think the town of Liberty would be a great place to live and it's inhabitants are they kind of people I'd like to know. I hate when reviews contain spoilers, so I won't tell you the storie.  I hope it suffices to say that you will laugh, cry, and cheer your way through these two books, and won't be able to wait to get your hands on the 3rd in the series.  I personally am anxiously awaiting #4.  You will not be disappointed with this purchase.
