ABOUT THE BOOK
Lois Barker trades her life on the fast track as a corporate journalist at a large Midwest newspaper when a close friend leaves her a small town, twice-weekly newspaper at his untimely death. In honor of his memory she decides to put her life on hold for the one year stipulated in the will. How hard could that be?Lois drives into Green, Louisiana on New Years Day expecting an idyllic small town atmosphere, but is surprised to find a run down area full of racism and political power plays. There are even rats in her 'out in the sticks' loaner house. And the employees of The Green News-Item, her paper, are less than excited about their new boss.
But as Lois gets to know the the individuals of the town and their specific problems, she uses her networking and leadership skills to pull the community together and regenerate a sense of pride. She makes friends with a group of fascinating characters who help her see the purpose in her life and to realize that God has been watching over her all along, even though she has abandoned him.
As her year ends she needs to decide if she will return to her fast paced corporate life or if she will stay in the small town she has grown fond of. She seeks Gods will and at the same time she wonders if He really cares about her choices. How can she know which decision is correct? And how can she find the peace she so desperately seeks?
