Title: Grandma Ruth Doesn’t Go To Funerals
Author: Sharon Mondragon
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: February 11, 2025
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Something is brewing in Raeburne's Ferry, Georgia--and it's not sweet tea.
In a small town where gossip flows, bedridden Mary Ruth McCready reigns supreme, doling out wisdom and meddling in everyone's business with a fervor that would make a matchmaker blush. When her best friend has her world rocked by a scandalous revelation from her dying husband, Mary Ruth kicks into high gear, commandeering the help of her favorite granddaughter, Sarah Elizabeth, in tracking down the truth. Finding clues in funeral condolence cards and decades-old gossip dredged up at the Blue Moon Beauty Emporium, the two stir up trouble faster than you can say "pecan pie."
But just when things are starting to look up, a blast from the past waltzes in with an outrageous claim. But as Grandma Ruth always says when things get tough, "God is too big." With him, nothing is impossible--even bringing long-held secrets to light. Grandma Ruth and Sarah just might have to ruffle a whole mess of feathers to do it.

My Review:
Raeburne’s Ferry is a small town with big secrets and Grandma Ruth has her pulse on the community even though she is bedridden. Her granddaughter, Sarah is her representative as well as eyes and ears to all the gossip that takes place. When Charlotte (Grandma Ruth’s best friend) losing her husband and leaves her with a mysterious message, it is up to Sarah and Grandma to suss out the clues to see what he meant.
Things aren’t always as they seem, which is something that Grandma Ruth must remind Sarah on multiple occasions as she must determine what is fact and what is plain ol’ gossip. I appreciated being reminded to keep an open mind and not to draw my own conclusions until everything is known.
This book has:
small town
lovable characters
mystery
finding love
love is faithful
