The Spirit of Covington

This week I finished The Spirit of Covington by Joan Medlicott. This is the fourth installment of the Ladies of Covington series. (Have I been reading a lot of series lately, or what?) I love this series. I read the first one a number of years ago. The story is about 3 ladies in their late 60's & 70's widowed and alone who move in together in the small town of Covington and basically begin another life. They've all experienced heartache but they have so much life and love left to give. In this book their beloved farmhouse burns to the ground and while they are rebuilding they discover how much they need one another and the simple life they've built. Along the way we've met many other characters in this small North Carolina community. I grew up in a small town myself so I can relate to so much of this series. I have the next installment on my bookshelf waiting for me. The reading is light but refreshing and inspirational. I've read several books in a row that I would prefer to as 'light'. They provide sufficient entertainment but do not challenge the reader cognitively. It's time to delve into a more series mystery next.
