“A compelling story with homegrown flavor. Lin Stepp’s words flow across the page like a soft spring breeze in the Smokies, leaving behind traces of wildflowers and wood smoke. For me, reading her books is like going home.”

“The best of small-town Americana and the eccentrics who live there are brought to life in More Things in Heaven and Earth. This story warmed me, made me laugh and then kept a smile on my face. It’s delightful, compassionate, humorous, tightly woven. If you’re looking for a feel-good read, spend an afternoon with Jeff High’s novel.”
—Charles Martin, New York Times-bestselling author of Unwritten and When Crickets Cry
