Main Characters are always fun but sometimes the supporting cast brings such humor to a plot that I want to feature them too! 

Author Marc Jedel gives the reader a strong cast that keeps you turning the pages.

The main characters are  Elizabeth and Jonas a newly wed couple that return to Elizabeth's hometown of Jenkins.  

Elizabeth struggles a little with returning home to the small town.  It doesn't take long for her to start talking and thinking like she never left.

Jonas hails from the northwest is scratching his head at some of the things Elizabeth, her mom and the town folk say. 

And, being Vegan just might be a challenge.  But Jonas knows how to cook and whips up a Vegan Stew that Elizabeth and her mom Mary after they spend along day preparing for an Estate Sale.

The author shared the recipe.  Click Here to visit  My Journey Back the recipe is Featured in Monday's post. 

When Jonas goes into town to the grocery he has another culture shock.  

But Colton and Billy Ray not only show Jonas the ropes and how to navigate a country grocery store they inadvertently offer a few clues that just might help get Elizabeth off!
