"Cora Matthews has long wondered why her mother stopped taking her to visit her grandparents' lodge in the small Northwoods Minnesota town of Moonberry Lake. Now, after burying her mother and breaking off her engagement just two weeks before her wedding, Cora has a chance to find out. Once there, she is stunned to learn that the old lodge is her inheritance--with a surprising condition attached. Maybe some time to regroup on the shores of a beautiful lake is just what Cora needs to figure out what's next for her. But Cora's days on the lake are anything but relaxing. The only thing that's a bigger mess than her own life is the dilapidated building she's living in. Add a cantankerous handywoman, an angry neighbor, and an elderly woman who spends all her time talking to the "residents" in the cemetery and Cora's not sure she can stick it out. But if she can, she may find a love she never expected--from the most unexpected people imaginable.

Even though the leading lady of On Moonberry Lake is twenty-six years old, it still feels like a coming-of-age story. Maybe that is because Cora Matthews feels like she lost her childhood when her mother took her away from all she had ever known and loved without ever explaining why. As a result Cora had never been able to put down roots, that is not until she returned to the small town of Moonberry Lake, Minnesota, a town filled with unforgettable characters. On Moonberry Lake will make readers cry and then laugh until they cry. Numerous times I stopped my husband in whatever he was doing to read hilarious excerpts aloud to him. (I have a broken right hand and wrist. So, I am not currently much help around the house) It brightened my day, and I think it brightened his, too.
The only iffy element of this book for me was that a couple of characters had a new age edge to them. I would recommend this book to mature Christians that could separate the wheat from the chaff, but would be less likely to recommend it to new Christians or unbelievers.
I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Revell via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

A cast of quirky characters!
On Moonberry Lake by Holly Varni has Cora Matthews inheriting her grandparent�s lodge after her mother�s death. Cora is surprised since she was estranged from her mother at the time of her demise. The lodge is in serious need of repair. Cora needs to adjust to living in a small town where everyone knows your business. On Moonberry Lake is a character driven story. In the beginning, we are introduced to one character after another (there are so many of them). The people that live around the lodge are a quirky lot. I had to laugh at Kitty�s gnome collection because I have a large number in my garden as well. I was not able to connect with Cora or any of the characters. I liked the humor sprinkled throughout (Widgy provides many entertaining moments). I found that the story moved slowly (which made it hard to continue reading). There are some heartwarming scenes in the latter part of the story. There were some encounters with the Moonberry Lake residents there were repetitive (Widgy showing up at the crack of dawn each day for example). The author�s vivid descriptions allowed me to envision Moonberry Lake, the town, and the lodge. The Christian element is light. I was surprised by the New Age statements and beliefs. The romance is clean. On Moonberry Lake has a feel-good ending. Would I want to visit Moonberry Lake again? I would admire the scenery, but I would keep on driving.
