MAITLAND, FL—In L. B. Johnson’s new book, Small Town Roads ($14.99, paperback,
9781498490719, $7.99, eBook, 9781498490726) two women, one a young police officer from a major
urban area, and another, an elderly retired teacher living in a tiny rural farm
town, become unexpected neighbors and unlikely friends. When an act of violence
draws them together, that friendship becomes a testament to God's faith, a
healing balm for grief, and hope for a future that is not always clear. In the
tradition of Kent Harauf’s bestselling Plainsong, L.B. Johnson has written a
lyrical, meditative story that acknowledges the dangers and comforts of our
world. Small Town Roads is a loving
story about an old, slow place where the terrible loneliness of grief eases
because ordinary people decide to be community. With this, her first fiction
novel after two #1 best best-selling Memoirs, she reveals a writer that can be
enjoyed today as well as looked for tomorrow.
Johnson
says, “ The book makes it clear that as
much as we have become the person of our past, with a commitment to God and
community our future is as open as the land of the heartland. All ages will
relate to the character's triumphs and tragedies as they work on healing with
hope, humor, and trust in God. The descriptive language makes this small town
real in every respect.”
