Buttermilk Sky is a light and refreshing read with beautiful
characters who readers will adore. Mazy Pelfrey is a gem whose
selfless and na�ve heart is endearing, although her naivet� can
also be exasperating. Watson does an excellent job at keeping the
story moving while touching on important subjects in a way that is
not overbearing or heavy.
SUMMARY: After moving from small town life in the mountains of
Kentucky, Mazy Pelfrey is not accustomed to life in the city of
Lexington. Balancing social life, chores and studies takes up all
of her time. However, when a new beau comes along, Mazy is swept
off her feet. As she grows used to the new way of life, her past
comes calling and Mazy is faced with decisions that will change her
life forever. [Four stars.]--Romantic Times
Watson (Troublesome Creek) sets her sweet novel in Lexington, Ky.,
shortly before WWI. There, Mazy Pelfrey, age 18, is struggling in
secretarial school. The young sheriff from her hometown in the
Kentucky mountains, Chanis Clay, is sweet on her, but Mazy is
dazzled by a wealthy young man, Loyal Chambers, who begins to pay
attention to her. Mazy must choose what, and who, she wants--a
choice that tests her values. The details of Watson's period
setting are well researched (Sanitol liquid tooth cleanser, syrup
ices). Humor plays a prominent and welcome role in the narrative:
an exploding jar of sauerkraut in a root cellar starts the action
with a literal bang. Mazy is an engaging character, though some
readers may find her youthful innocence cloying. Faith elements are
natural and unobtrusive, except for one improbable conversion.
Watson offers a well-written, squeaky clean read.--Publishers
