Occasionally, a simple book feels like home, and its characters become cherished friends. These vignettes will doubtless become favorites, not only for the quarter of a million people who enjoyed Gulley's Front Porch Tales, but also for new readers who will respond to the Garrison Keillor- style humor and pathos of fictional Harmony, Ind. The town's characters include the wise Quaker pastor who narrates the book; a childless couple who spend their life savings (and then some) to wrest their niece from the grip of her alcoholic parents; and the narrow-minded church elder who "knew just enough Scripture to be annoying, but not enough to be transformed." This book is pure joy.
Harmony is a small town that might remind listeners of Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon. Listeners will soon realize that the stories in this collection of small-town anecdotes often have morals to them. Philip Gulley, a Quaker minister, speaks through fictional minister Sam Gardner, who is good-natured but has a sneaky streak. It's usually to avoid confrontations, but he puts it to other uses, such as planning an anniversary surprise for his wife. Gulley's an entertaining reader, whose hoarse preacher's voice hints of wisdom beyond his years. His Aesop-like fables suggest that this good-natured writer wants listeners to bring his Harmony to life in their own lives. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
