The Lost Husband

I've read enough Katherine Center books (2? 3?) by now to know what I was getting before I added the book to my Amazon wish list. I like what Katherine Center gives to a book. I like her characters that seem like regular people, but are also just a little bit quirky. I like her Texas settings. I like her storylines that always involve family troubles. (Stop reading here if you don't want any spoilers.) I like how the family always gets better by the end of the story, though the family is never tidily (and unrealistically) transformed into the Waltons.

This book does all these things and more. Center places her troubled family into a central Texas goat farm, with an old hippie aunt. A delightful read.
