Cool Spring

Terri Benschafer's boyfriend only wants to play; her mother can't help but pry. Life is not going the way this 30-year old teacher intended. In a blink, she packs up and moves to small town America. Cool Spring presents a blend of memorable people: an eccentric landlady, a man-crazy co-worker, a student shouldering an enormous burden, and three disparate bachelors. A blizzard marks the turning point in Terri's life. She finds herself with a house full of stranded guests who will impact her future. Several plotlines are skillfully woven through this contemporary novel about laughter and sorrow; family, friends, and faith; and the many facets of love.
