Confessions of April Grace: In Front of God and Everybody by KD McCrite (ther first in the Confessions series published by Thomas Nelson/HarperCollins) is a mid-grade novel and the first of a series of stories about a rural community in the Ozarks and April Grace Reilly, who changes everything. Centered on the Reilly Family who has lived there for generations and the St. James who reluctantly moved there to start over, it is a true “country mouse” meets “city mouse”. The challenges of tolerance and acceptance and the miracle of saving grandma because of it make this a endearing novel. You will be as captivated by The Reillys as we all were with The Waltons in the 70s. http://www.loiaconoliteraryagency.com/authors/kd-mccrite/ www.kdmccrite.com
