About the book:
The Splendor of Ordinary Days
(NAL, October 2015)

The pastoral charm of small-town Watervalley, Tennessee, can be deceptive, as young Dr. Luke Bradford discovers when he's caught in the fallout of a decades-old conflict.

After a rocky start as Watervalley's only doctor, Luke Bradford has decided to stay in town, honoring the three-year commitment he made to pay off his medical school debts. But even as his friendships with the quirky townsfolk deepen, and he pursues a romance with lovely schoolteacher Christine Chambers, several military veterans' emotional wounds trigger anger and unrest in Watervalley.

At the center of the clash is the curmudgeonly publisher of the local newspaper, Luther Whitmore. Luther grew up in Watervalley, but he returned from combat in Vietnam a changed man. He fenced in beautiful Moon Lake, posting "Keep Out" notices at the beloved spot, and provokes the townspeople with his incendiary newspaper.

As Luke struggles to understand Luther's past, and restore harmony in Watervalley, an unforeseen crisis shatters a relationship he values dearly. Suddenly Luke must answer life's toughest questions about service, courage, love, and sacrifice.

My Review:
Jeff High brings readers a story that will transport them to a small town and a feeling of returning home in his book, "The Splendor of Ordinary Days."  Luke started out merely fulfilling a commitment he made to be a doctor in Watervalley; however, the roots are there and hold him captive including his heart.  There are so many bits and pieces to this story that make it a great read and one that will tug at your heart and emotions.  The characters in this town have quirks that make them real and bring them alive and the struggles that they are facing are so real as well.  The content of this book is a bit "racier" than Christian romance fiction, but do not let that stop you from giving this series a try.
