    This review was written for Buttermilk Sky.
    Buttermilk Sky is the story of a country girl going to the city for an education in the early 1900's. She has to meet many types of characters along the way. She encounters many circumstances that matures her and allows her to see people as they truly are. She maintains her faith and love of life throughout many difficult times. This is the first book of this author's that I read but it will not be my last. I enjoyed the easy flow, descriptive characters, and over-all story line she presented.

    I recieved this book from the Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion.

    Buttermilk Sky

    by Jan Watson

    PubL: Tyndale House c, 2014

    Mazy Pelfrey is attending secretarial school is Lexington, Kentucky, in 1913. She has left her small mountain hometown of Skip Rock pursuing a fuller life than she has at home. The problem is that the life she finds in Lexington is not all she had hoped it would be. In point of fact it is very different than she had hoped. Mazy is struggling with some of her classes. She is having difficulty dealing with her instructor. The members of her study group, who are also her boarding mates, are not as supportive as she had hoped. And she is homesick for the peace and quiet of her hometown.

    Mazy has left Sheriff Chanis Clay is Skip Rock. He has pinned his future hopes on Mazy being is bride. He has purchased a house and is repairing it with a view to what Mazy would like. Part of why Mazy went to secretarial school is to put some distance between the two of them so she can figure out what she wants out of a relationship with Chanis as opposed to what everyone else wants for her in regard to a relationship with Chanis.

    Matters are complicated when she meets Loyal Chambers. He is the only son of a wealthy family in Lexington and is definitely interested in Mazy. His mother is Dr, Suzanne Chambers, a physician in Lexington. Most of the girls in Mazys circle of friends are thrilled that Loyal has noticed her. All that is, except Eva who has positioned herself as the group leader because of her supposed higher level in society.

    Things get interesting when a surprise visit from Chanis lets the girls in on the fact that Mazy not only has the interest of Loyal, but she has a beau back home who is every bit as handsome as Loyal.

    No spoilers here. Im not going to tell you which gentleman she chooses, nor am I going to tell you what happens to the other fellow. I will tell you that Jan Watson does a masterful job of blending the lives of five classmates, the people they meet in Lexington, and the occupants of Skip Rock into a wonderful tale. You will come to care for these realistic characters. You will find yourself cheering them on, scolding them when they fall short of expectations, and distressed at their misfortunes as they navagate a believable plot.

    Enjoy this trip back to 1913 Kentucky. I did.

    I was provided a copy of this book through The Book Club Network for my unbiased review.

    This is the first book by Jan Watson that I have read. I didn't know what to expect. Well, I was highly pleased. I do not like to give a synopsis of the book as you can read that on the book. I feel that these reviews are to tell others what you thought of the book. Well, the book is set in the early 1900s and when reading this it is very easy to imagine yourself there. The book takes an unexpected turn early on, but that is not a negative thing. It flowed so well that you were always waiting for the next turn of events. it is a Christian book and it shows in a very positive way. You will enjoy meeting all the characters, though not all are what they seem. i am looking forward to the next book by Jan Watson that I will be able to read. I highly recommend this book, you won't be sorry.

    I have been reading a great many books lately by new to me authors and Buttermilk Sky is my first read from Jan Watson. It was a lovely coming of age story about a young woman who is trying to find her own way in life. Mazy (I really liked that name) has left her small mountain town of Skip Rock and is going to secretarial school in the city. This story takes place during the year 1913. When she left, she also left the sheriff, Chanis, who is a few years older than her and very much in love with her. Though they are apart for most of the story, we get a really good characterization of both Mazy and Chanis as we are seeing life happen through both of their viewpoints. I really liked both characters. Mazy was sweet and innocent and really had to learn about the world through her own experiences before she could see the gifts she already had. She had a couple of harrowing near misses and I enjoyed seeing her relate with her city friends. Chanis was a really fun character to get to know. He was a simple fellow who for the most part knew what he wanted in life. He took care of his responsibilities and he loved Mazy with his whole heart. Some of the situations he found himself in, because he was the sheriff, had me laughing out loud even though they were serious situations that could have taken his life. Again, he was such a fun character and Jan Watsons writing was a delight to read. I received my review copy from The Book Club Network, Inc. (TBCN) and the opinions are my own.
