Sixty Acres and a Bride by Regina Jennings

A Brief Summary:
Rosa Garner is a young widow who has left her home in Mexico to travel with her mother-in-law to Texas. Here is the ancestral home of her late husband, after being shunned by her family it seems like the best place to start over. To her it represents her hopes and dreams maybe even a place to find love, but the town is skeptical as she has no idea how to behave like a lady. In steps Weston  Garner, he'll do anything to protect his family and that now includes more. But when she gets feelings for him outside of the realm of family things get a might bit more complicated.With only three months to save her new home will Rosa be able to do it, and manage not to fall for Weston?

My Review:
This is a sweet love story with a hint of faith. Rosa is a young widow who never had the love of her husband. Weston is a widower who blames himself for the death of his wife. The two are an unlikely couple, but when has that ever stopped anyone?

I adored the importance of family in this story. From Rosa's determination to help her mother-in-law, to the overwhelming support of the extended family. All in all a good read.

Laughing Stock by Bradley Hayward

When Micheal is asked to write a play about his life it starts out dull and plain when a writer in the audience decides to help out. Afterwards chaos breaks out as anyone that could possibly be added is. This is a fun comedy for all ages.

This play has a lot of potential for the right group of actors. Either a small group or large one could have a lot of fun and do a good job with it. All I have to find a group of friends to make, I mean volunteer to help me with it.

Love (Awkwardly) a play by John Rotondo and Maryann Carolan

This is a short one act comedy set in a high school and follows three very different couples. one very much in love but facing separation, a pair of friends on the cusp of something more, and one that is strained and falling apart at the seams.

This was a very sweet play one I would very much enjoy to see live. It shows the problems a good majority of relationships face and one perspective on dealing with them.
