Every now and again, I like to read something that doesn't take many of my braincells to enjoy. High Plains Hearts fits this bill and gives me a few hours of entertainment without me having to ponder the deep issues of life.
Janet Spaeth has put together three novellas all taking place in the North Dakota Badlands.
Tess owns a store called Angels Roost where all the merchandise has something to do with angels. When someone comes in and wants to buy her favorite angel, she feels a kinship, or a connection, with the new owner.
Lily is a songle mother who needs to find a place to live after she found out that her former boss was embezzling from the agency where she worked. She is offered a job right up her vocational alley when a town is flooded and her skills are needed to provide child care for those affected by the flood. When her former boss implicates her in the embezzlement, a friend she made while attending a Christian camp stands beside her through the whole ordeal of clearing her name.
Olivia finds an advertisement for a resort for sale in Sunshine, North Dakota. How the ad got to Boston or how it blew up next to her car puzzled her, but she took a chance and moved, lock, stock, and barrel to North Dakota to buy the resort. Meeting the owner and his grandson were just icing on the cake.
I've read several of Janet's novels and find them worth curling up under a nice blanket on a rainy afternoon. Definite get-away without leaving home.
