Beyond the Picket Fence
Back of the Book:
Endearing characters, tender romances, triumphs of faith—these are the gems readers have cherished and anticipated in each one of Lori Wick’s beloved novels. Now Lori brings the same treasures to a very special connection of eight short stories, delightful glimpses of the life and love found beyond the picket fence.
Beyond the Picket Fence
Nikki, a children’s book writer, and Dorian, a single dad raising a son and a daughter, discover the delicate chapter that lies beyond friendship.
Be Careful with My Heart
Hunter and Casey, members of a popular gospel trio, learn about a new symphony of love.
The Christmas Gift
With wide eyes and an open heart, ten-year-old foster child Brenda receives the season’s greatest gift.
At the end of each story, Lori shares a personal insight into the characters or background of what she has written.
My Review:
I enjoyed reading these short stories. It was nice to have a break from the long novels. The stories were usually light-hearted and easy to get into. My favorites were The Rancher’s Lady and Beyond the Picket Fence, but all of them were great.
Sadly, it’s been a long time since I’ve read these stories, so I can’t comment any further on them. Fans of Lori will enjoy them, though.
