Reviewing Snow Fence Road | Phyllis Edgerly Ring

The title Snow Fence Road raised totally different expectations than Phyllis Edgerly Ring‘s book delivered for me. The layered, charming story has warmth in the characters — for a few pages you might wonder how these people will all have some deeper connection for one another, but this story benefits when the author doesn’t force feed the reader. It is another story about an Inn/Bed and Breakfast — that seems to be a favorite setting for the books that I enjoy reading! There are more ‘Inn Books’ reviewed at Cardinal Bluff in recent posts.

A Fantastic Story Set Along the Maine Coast.

A layered story set at the Spinnaker Inn along the coast of Maine where characters must walk through love and loss. The twists in the story run the gamut from dramatic to silly, and coincidental. Boy, can the heart get those soap-opera thumps and bumps when someone does something because she or he didn’t know how that would affect the people on the other side.

Because I like inns, I enjoyed the side details of the activity and renovation projects as the Spinnaker Inn, Claire’s family home business by the investment from Tess, using the money she inherited from Andy! See what I mean about Twists? How will Evan be able to overcome the loss of the extremely talented Celia to enjoy a stable relationship with Tess? Where will life take Claire and Rowan and the tangles they’ve built? And let’s not leave out Tess’s creative and encouraging mother or the neighbor, especially Dickie and father Gil at the general store. Matthew is charming as the child ‘foil.’ All through the delightfully described seasons — the author knows about driving on bad winter roads…she nailed it.

Other detail covers some extremely talented portrait and setting artists.

Snow Fence Road was a total surprise to me. I was expecting something totally different than this layered, charming and lovable story. I highly recommend it for your reading pleasure. A well-written, inspiring book….profanity is little to none, conversation never drifts toward the ‘coarse’ and no erotica.
