Downtown Green (Gone to Green Series), Judy Christie, 258 pages

This was the fifth book in the series, but was able to stand alone.  Lois Craig has relocated from Dayton, Ohio to small town Green, Louisiana.  Along the way she has bought the local newspaper, gotten married and has just given birth to her son.  The challenges facing Lois and Green include a thick weed cover choking the local lake and a down turn in the downtown business now that the bypass has opened.  Lois takes on a new project of saving the old ice cream shop in an effort to revitalize the down town area.  This was a quick read without much complexities.  The story revolves around the lives and deaths of the towns people.
