This is the last of her "Blessing, GA" books I have loved everyone of them . this was a nice conclusion to these books. It was years jerk ing at times but mad me smile a lot. I have read other Sharon Sala books and have loved them all.

It's sad that this series had to end but this book ended it perfectly. I have all the books in this series on my bookshelves and will be reading them again I'm sure. Sharon is a fantastic author and I look forward to reading any new books she writes. The next one is due out in November and I will be pre-ordering it.

Loved reading the happy conclusion to Ruby and Peanut's story. But it's annoying that in the middle of the book is dropped a whole other story with new characters. This author has done this with previous books in this series. It leaves the reader confused as these new characters don't even interact with the characters you started with! In this book the new characters were boring and I ended up skipping over their parts of the book. So that's why only 3 stars.

I am in love with this book! Ms.Sala is a true wordsmith. This final Blessings book is truly great. We get to see characters from her previous Blessings books and are introduced to new friends. Ms.Sala draws into her world of Blessing Georgia with the story of Carlie Jo and how Peanut and Ruby Butterman turn this orphan girl life into one with Joy. Another story of how two people meet again years after their high school romance. The author brings tears and laughter into this world and keeps you spellbound to the last page. I am going to miss this series because it is truly wonderful world this lady has created. This book is truly a warm and heartfelt piece of art. I love all of her works but this one touched my soul.

I am a long time reader of Sharon Sala's books. I love the whole Blessings GA series. It is truly a representation of a community that encompasses the tears and laughter that occurs every in rural/small town America. My preference is reading a series in order so that when the author gifts a glimpse of characters who were featured in previous books it gives The reader a sense of homecoming. The focus of The Best of Me is coming home in every sense possible. Shirley, Ladd and Deborah like many young people had left their hometown to find their way in the world. And as sometimes happens they felt the need to return. Shirley to entrust her child's care to Ruby who showed her kindness in hope that her girl will have a new home once she is gone. Ladd and Deborah were high school sweethearts that drifted apart as college and life happen. First Ladd then Deborah returned home due to parental failing health issues. Out of tragedy comes hope and love lost can be recovered. Out of lost one can rebuild something new. When one door closes another door opens for Ruby and Peanut.
