Fiction. Literature. HTML:"Full of summertime delight...and sweet, nostalgic charm, Famous in a Small Town is a beautiful reminder to...fully embrace the magic that lives inside you." â??Heather Webber, USA TODAY bestselling author of Midnight at the Blackbird Café

For most of her eighty years, Mary Jackson has endured the steady invasion of tourists, influencers and real estate developers who have discovered the lakeside charm of Good Hart, Michigan, waiting patiently for the arrival of a stranger she's believed since childhood would one day carry on her legacyâ??the Very Cherry General Store. Like generations of Jackson women before her, Cherry Mary, as she's known locally, runs the community hubâ??part post office, bakery and sandwich shopâ??and had almost given up hope that the mysterious prediction she'd been told as a girl would come true and the store would have to pass to...a man.
Becky Thatcher came to Good Hart with her ride-or-die BFF to forget that she's just turned forty with nothing to show for it. Ending up at the general store with Mary is admittedly not the beach vacation she expected, but the more the feisty octogenarian talks about destiny, the stronger Becky's memories of her own childhood holidays become, and the strange visions over the lake she was never sure were real. As she works under Mary's wing for the summer and finds she fits into this quirky community of locals, she starts to believe that destiny could be real, and that it might have something very special in mind for Becky...
Bursting with memorable characters and small-town lore, the enchanting new novel from the bestselling author of The Clover Girls is a magical story about the family you're born with, and the one you choose.… (más)

The setting of Famous in a Small Town by Viola Shipman book is beautiful. The small town intrigues are entertaining. The individual histories of the women make for good stories. The bonds of friendships - old, new, and rediscovered - are lovely to read about. However, the emotional bond attempted in the book fails to completely connect for me. An entertaining summer read but perhaps not as engaging as some of Viola Shipman's other books.

A sweet easy read. I liked the women ad loved Michigan. Predictable romance which was the least interesting part of the book. It did have a nice epilogue. ( )

Another fun summer read from Viola Shipman aka Wade Rouse. I always want to go to Michigan after I read one of his books! He has to be the best ambassador Michigan has ever had! In this book, we learn about everything cherry related! ( )

I feel this book relies on a similar style of storytelling as The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare, but I liked this selection much better. I noticed a few errors in points of the story, but other than that it was enjoyable. ( )

Becky Thatcher is a school administrator who just turned 40 and who just threw her boyfriend of a few decades out.

It is summer vacation, and Becky and her friend decide to head to Michigan for a girl's vacation.

When they arrive, they meet the owner of the Very Cherry General Store in Good Hart, Michigan, and the connection between them is amazing. This is a real store.

Mary has been waiting for someone to take over the store.

Is it Becky she has been waiting for?

Is this what Becky has been waiting for and needs?

FAMOUS IN A SMALL TOWN makes you want to immediately go to Michigan, even though it took almost until 50% for me to get connected to the storyline.

It is definitely worth the wait, though.

You will love the sentiments throughout the book, and you will find Wade's signature warmth oozing through every word, page, and character.

ENJOY!! 4/5

This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review. ( )
