The Incredible Winston Browne cover

Synopsis:

In the small, sleepy town of Moab, Florida, folks live for ice cream socials, Jackie Robinson, and the local paper’s weekly gossip column. For decades, Sheriff Winston Browne has watched over Moab with a generous eye, and by now he’s used to handling the daily dramas that keep life interesting for Moab’s quirky residents. But just after Winston receives some terrible, life-altering news, a feisty little girl with mysterious origins shows up in his best friend’s henhouse. Suddenly Winston has a child in desperate need of protection—as well as a secret of his own to keep.

With the help of Moab’s goodhearted townsfolk, the humble and well-meaning Winston Browne still has some heroic things to do. He finds romance, family, and love in unexpected places. He stumbles upon adventure, searches his soul, and grapples with the past. In doing so, he just might discover what a life well-lived truly looks like.

Beloved writer Sean Dietrich—also known as Sean of the South—will warm your heart with this rich and nostalgic tale about community, kindness, and the meaning of the everyday incredible.


Review:

Spoiler Alert: Have a box of tissues before you end 2/3 of the way through this book!!

Our second book today is another book that stays with you , long after you finish it. The story of Winston and the arrival of a runaway who changes his entire world, and that of his friends. It's a story of what we do when the unexpected happens. How does it change us, both inside and out. And when that change is more permanent than we thought, how will we rise up to the new challenges in front of us. It's also the story of old Florida and a time of innocence.Don't miss this one!
