Fried Chicken and Gravy: A Christian Romance

By Sherri Schoenborn Murray

Missy may have a knack for fixing cars, but she sure can't cook. Missy Stuart is humiliated when she burns dinner for the cute, yet outspoken new auto parts rep. But, when he suggests to her father that she should take cooking lessons from the old ladies down at his church, she wants to crawl under a car and die. When she dutifully accompanies her father to church, she finds that she has more to learn than a bunch of recipes. This clean Christian romance is set in Ridgefield, Washington, in the late seventies, and is now available in AUDIO on Audible.

Fun romance about love and loss

5 stars, Fun romance about loving and loss FRIED CHICKEN AND GRAVY (FRIED CHICKEN #1) by Sherri Schoenborn Murray In this fun novel about loving and loss, we follow Missy Stuart and her father Big John Stuart in their automotive repair business and the people they come into contact with. Robert is a commission-only automotive parts supplier who is looking at Big John as a future customer. Big John is known area-wide for his dealings with solicitors. For that reason, Robert is determined to be called by his name and not by the other nicknames that Missy and Big John assign to him. Missy's mama died when she was only 10, so she missed out on the teachings of the womanly arts, that her daddy and brother Doug would greatly appreciate. Missy is sure that if she had those skills like cooking, nice clothing, and a fancy hairdo, Doug's best friend Gary would finally notice her for the woman she is, instead of Doug's little sister. Robert knows that he can help Missy to become the woman she is meant to be, with help from his mother's cooking classes and all kinds of sparks fly. Not only is this novel a romance, with cooking lessons and recipes, but it is also a tool to help a person know Jesus and God's promises. It's refreshing to see an author who's not afraid of tackling God issues in these trying times of the world. Highly recommend. With much gratitude, I received a complimentary copy of #FriedChickenAndGravy from #SherriSchoenbornMurray @SherriSchoenbornMurray #ChristainRomances @ChristianRomances I was under no obligation to post a review.

Delightfully entertaining with twists and turns

Beautiful and simple storyline that has a lot of depth in its presentation. I didn't want to put it down. I hope the author will continue the ending with the happily ever after vision by writing more books revolving around this family, town, and church. Yes, I believe this book deserves a series of sequels around the other characters that were developed so beautifully. I was left hanging with the ending. I wanted the author to expound with a family and friends church gathering celebrating and giving the ending what appeared to be promised many times over in the book. I actually got online to see if there was a sequence that may have began with where this book left off. I was saddened but hopeful. This really is a great book with great characters.
