Love In A Small Town

by Betty Jo Schuler

Overview

It's late June when Sam Champion drives into an Illinois town and sees a "Grow Browning" billboard, with the population, 3653, in changeable numbers, like those on a scoreboard. Sam, an Arizona professor, wants to sell the house he inherited, fast, and return to Arizona, for a prestigious promotion. Lily Madison, his red-haired neighbor is an accident-waiting-to-happen, but beautiful, determined, and smart, she has other plans for Sam and Browning. Lily brightens Sam's life, but he doesn't realize how much until he tries to walk away.

Love in a Small Town was one of three fiction finalists in the Indiana State Library's recent Best Books of Indiana 2007 contest, which is held in conjunction with the Center of the Book, Library of Congress.
