Liz retired from the post office and promised to spend at least fifteen minutes a day on housework. Not wanting to overdo things, she’s since pared that down to ten. She spends non-writing time sewing, quilting, and doing whatever else she wants to. She and Duane, her husband of…oh, quite a while, are the parents of three and grandparents of the Magnificent Seven. They live in the old farmhouse in Indiana they moved to in 1977. They’ve talked about moving, but really…37 years’ worth of stuff? It’s not happening!

Back to McGuffey’s by Liz Flaherty is a story about love. Kate is the star of the book and I immediately liked her a lot. Ben is the love interest, kind of, and though he was confused and stubborn, he too was very likeable. The story takes place in Vermont in the small town of Fionnegan. As we meet and become friends with its residents, it became a town I would love to live in. Liz has lost her job, her home has just burned to the ground and she is forced to make a new life for herself. Ben is a doctor with a practice in Boston, but has come home to spend the summer in Fionnegan. His father is dying and he is questioning his chosen career path. Kate and Ben were high school sweethearts, who remained friends and never really stopped loving each other. The McGuffey brothers and sisters, Kate’s best friends, and a lovable 16-year-old Down’s Syndrome boy are all an important part of what makes this town so special.
Liz Flaherty writes with insight and depth of real life. Back To McGuffey’s has it all: happiness, sadness, love, life, death and everyday emotions. The characters and the plot were so real that I hated when I had to leave Fionnegan and return home. If you like a good, old fashioned type of love story, then this is a must-read. I am anxiously awaiting Liz Flaherty’s next book. I sincerely hope there is a follow-up and we can check out how Kate, Ben and the people of Fionnegan are doing. Loved, loved, loved Back to McGuffey’s.
