Each Shining Hour

by Jeff High

Book Overview

Welcome to the timeless charms of small-town Watervalley, Tennessee--where young Dr. Luke Bradford is beginning to feel at home... When he comes to the aid of a woman at the grocery store, Luke is fascinated to learn she is Estelle Pillow, the cheery sister to his prickly housekeeper, Connie. Estelle wants to open a bakery in town--and Connie's disapproval of the venture stirs up a whirlwind of emotions between the siblings. But Luke's attention is soon diverted when he learns about a long-ago double murder.... During World War II, an unknown traveler arrived in town, and before the day was over, he and the local baker lay dead near the bandstand at the local lake. The incident has since been exaggerated into Watervalley lore--with the newcomer rumored to have been a German spy. As Luke pieces together exactly what happened, he realizes that the consequences of this event have rippled painfully into the lives of townsfolk he has come to know. As winter gives way to spring, Luke keeps busy at the medical clinic and enters a tentative, exhilarating romance. And when his support of Estelle's bakery collides with new revelations about the old murder, Luke witnesses the true power of reconciliation working in the hearts of those he holds dear--a revelation that will change his life.

Customer Reviews

VERY entertaining!

This book is great! If you enjoy quirky characters, laughing out loud, and great entertainment, this book is for you! "Each Shining Hour" is the second book in the series. I would suggest that you read the first one also, "More Things in Heaven and Earth".

Jeff Highs Watervalley is a great place to visit

I am a devout Jan Karon fan. I do love my Father Tim, but I think I have found a close second in Jeff Highs Watervalley books. and for all of you who love Barnabus, there's a sweet dog too. my advice is read them!!!!
