Five Miles South of Peculiar

By: Angela Hunt

Narrated by: Cynthia Darlow

Darlene Caldwell has spent a lifetime tending Sycamores, an estate located five miles south of a small town called Peculiar. She raised a family in the spacious home that was her grandfather's legacy, and she enjoys being a pillar of the community. Sycamores is the kingdom where she reigns as queen...until her limelight-stealing twin sister unexpectedly returns. Carlene Caldwell, veteran of the Broadway stage, is devastated when she realizes that an unsuccessful throat surgery has spelled the end of her musical career. Searching for a new purpose in life, she retreats to Sycamores, her childhood home. She may not be able to sing, but she hopes to use her knowledge and experience to fashion a new life in Peculiar, the little town she left behind. Haunted by a tragic romance, Magnolia Caldwell is the youngest of the Caldwell girls. Nolie has never wanted to live anywhere but Sycamores. She spends her days caring for her dogs and the magnificent gardens she's created on the estate, but when she meets a man haunted by his own tragedy, she must find the courage to either deny her heart or cut the apron strings that tie her to a dear and familiar place. Can these sisters discover who they are meant to be when life takes an unforeseen detour? In a season of destiny, three unique women reunite and take unexpected journeys of the heart.

Nice story

I wanted to smack all three sisters at some point in the story which I suppose shows I was drawn into the story. By the end I felt I knew them and was vested in their lives.

Great story

Easy listen. Great story about sisters, where life takes us. The things that bring us back home. Sibling rivalry. Old loves, new loves. Small town gossip. As someone else said in a review that I read, at different points in the story each sister got on my nerves and I wanted to smack them. At the same time that made it all the more intriguing & kept me listening!

Great Story by a Good writer

I have read most of the books by Angela Hunt. Some are really good some just average.
This one is very good. If you like Christian fiction you will be pleased.
Loved the narrator! Cynthia Darlow is one of my favorites. Fans of the Miss Julia books will recognize her distinctive style of Narration. Give it a try.

Love the title

The name of the town is Peculiar. And the characters are a little peculiar- or eccentric. Three sisters find love - love of God, love of family, and for two of the sisters love of a soon-to-be spouse.

loved the book.

I liked the stoty line. Forgiveness and restored relationships. With God it is all possible.
