Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen


This was one of those "feel good" books. It's one that almost anyone can read without being offended. It didn't contain sex, gore, or violence. It was simply a book about a little girl with a big dream. She can't wait to grow up and spread her wings. She wants to escape the small town where she grew up. And like most of us, she quickly realizes that the one thing she has wanted most in this world may not be the key to happiness after all.

Of course, there are plenty of twists and turns within this short story which keep the reader guessing and coming back for more. Mainly, this story is about family, love, and forgiveness. When her father, the town's preacher, commits the ultimate betrayal, it rocks the foundation of her values. It shocks the town, but somewhere admist the chaos, she finds it within herself to forgive him and move forward.

This is a good book for the holiday season since it's short and easy to read. It's captivating. Go ahead...Try it for yourself. You'll like it!
