\"Buttermilk<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Buttermilk Sky” is a warm and nostalgic novel set in Kentucky during the early 1900’s. The primary focus is on Mazy, a mountain girl eager to experience more from life in the big city where she is enrolled in a secretarial school. Another major character is Chanis, the sheriff back home who is in love with Mazy and hopes to marry her.<\/p>\n

The plot details Mazy’s struggles with her studies, interaction with fellow students, and the possibility of a romance with Loyal, a wealthy young man who lives in Lexington. Meanwhile Chanis dreams about a future with Mazy as he goes about his duties as sheriff. The story is at times quite humorous, especially some of the situations in which Chanis finds himself. In the end, Mazy comes to realize that things are not always what they seem and the grass is definitely always greener elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed “Buttermilk Sky” and hope to read more novels by Jan Watson soon. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Weary of the expectations imposed on her by her strict upbringing, eighteen-year-old Mazy Pelfrey prepares to leave her home in the Kentucky mountains for the genteel city of Lexington, where she\u2019ll attend secretarial school. She knows her life is about to change\u2014and only for the better. Everything will be blue skies from now on.<\/p>\n

But business school is harder than she thought it would be and the big city not as friendly, until she meets a charming young man from a wealthy family, Loyal Chambers. When Loyal sets his sights on her, Mazy begins to see that everything she\u2019d ever wished to have is right before her eyes. The only hindrance to her budding romance is a former beau, Chanis Clay, the young sheriff she thought she\u2019d left firmly behind.<\/p>\n

Danger rumbles like thunder on a high mountain ridge when Mazy\u2019s cosseted past collides with her clouded future and forces her to come to terms with what she really wants.<\/p>\n
